– German Cup final – Leverkusen vs Bayern Munich

Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich meet in the German Cup final with Leverkusen looking to create an upset while Bayern will be aiming to complete the domestic double.

Leverkusen missed out on fourth spot in the league by two points, meaning they will not be playing Champions League football next season. They did however, win their final game of the season, a 1-0 win over Mainz, but that was not enough as their main rival for the fourth spot Gladbach defeated Hertha Berlin to take the final Champions League spot.

Regarding the DFB Cup competitio­n, Leverkusen head into the final on the back of five consecutiv­e victories. This will be their fourth appearance in the big final having won it way back in 1993.

Bayern Munich seem to be unstoppabl­e this year as the German champions won their last 16 matches in all competitio­ns, winning the Bundesliga by 13 points and are targeting three trophies, including the Champions League. They have been in sensationa­l form in 2020, winning 20 of their 21 games, with the only slip up being a 0-0 home draw against RB Leipzig. In the Cup games, Bayern won each of their last eight games, winning both halves in six of those games.

Having missed out on Champions League football, Leverkusen will be aiming to console themselves by winning the cup final. At the same time, Bayern’s appetite for winning appears to be getting healthier with each game, and they are looking to end the German season in style by copping the league and cup double.
