Hertha Berlin vs Kaiserslautern Prediction and Betting Tips | December 2nd 2025

Hertha Berlin will host Kaiserslautern at Olympiastadion on Tuesday in the round of 16 of the 2025-26 DFB Pokal campaign. Both teams will fancy their chances of getting a result and booking their spot in the quarterfinals of the domestic cup.

Hertha picked up a comfortable 3-0 win over fellow Bundesliga 2 side Elversberg in the last round of the DFB Pokal after needing a penalty shootout to get past Münster in the opening round. The Old Lady, who have only made it past the quarterfinals of the cup once in the last 35 years, go into the midweek clash in remarkable form with nine wins from their last 10 games and will hope to continue in such form to seal a place among the final eight.

Kaiserslautern are currently only three points behind the hosts in the German second tier but are having a bit of a rough patch going into Tuesday's cup tie, with only two wins from their last six games. The Red Devils held on to an early lead to get a largely deserved 1-0 win over SpVgg Greuther Fürth in the last round, but will be up against a stronger side when they make the trip to the capital this midweek.
