Hertha Berlin vs Kaiserslautern Prediction & Betting Tips (31 January)

This year the German Cup will inevitably offer a surprise. Among the eight quarter-finalists there are just two Bundesliga teams Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach, while the other six play in the divisions below. In fact, there is also Saarbrucken, which even plays in the third division, but has already had the satisfaction of eliminating Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt. Among other excellent eliminations, however, Borussia Dortmund and Leipzig also left the competition early.

And so Hertha and Kaiserslautern face each other in the quarter-finals and that's why they dream of the semi-final and, who knows, maybe even the final. For that, however, a victory in this Wednesday night's game is necessary.

The Berliners recovered last weekend the important defender Kenny (who also scored in his team's defeat on Saturday) but not the unused Maza and Rogel, the replacement Dardai and the rather interesting striker Reese (4 goals) . Otherwise, the Old Lady should be able to line up their Bosnian attackers Pervljak (4 goals) and especially Tabakovic (10 goals) who are performing well this year, as well as the rather experienced Niederlechner (6 goals). For Kaiserslautern, only the relatively weak defender used Hercher is still missing at the moment.

In particular, we find in this formation the former AS Monaco player Almany Touré who is often confined to a replacement role this year. Up front, hopes should rest on striker Ache and the interesting Ritter who have scored 8 and 4 goals respectively in the league this year.
