Prediction: 2-1
Kaiserslautern
There will be fireworks when Hertha and Kaiserslautern, the two old rivals, lock horns in the German Cup quarter-finals. The capital club aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Wehen and they are seen as slim favourites to win the DFB Pokal clash. Fabian Reese is a major doubt after he got infected by COVID-19, while both Bence Dardai and Agustin Rogel are sidelined with injuries.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 4-1 win over Schalke at the weekend, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered this time out. It has to be noted that Kaiserslautern have already six defeats on the road in the 2023/2024 2. Bundesliga campaign. Both Philip Hercher and Hendrick Zuck are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team. In their last meeting in Berlin Hertha emerged triumphant.
