"Kasper Hjulmand acknowledged the challenge his Bayer Leverkusen team faces to reach the DFB-Pokal final against a Bayern Munich side he described as 'one of the best teams in the world'."
"Bayern have won just one of their last five away games in all competitions against Leverkusen, which could bode well for their hopes of an upset."
"Hjulmand stressed the importance of being clinical in the semi-final, stating, 'We again need to be very precise and sharp and take our chances.'"
"Leverkusen have often thrived in this competition, with this their third consecutive semi-final appearance, going on to lift the trophy for the first time since 1992-93."
Kasper Hjulmand recognizes the difficulty Bayer Leverkusen faces in the DFB-Pokal semi-final against Bayern Munich, a team he regards as one of the best globally. Leverkusen has only progressed twice in eight previous encounters in this competition. Despite a recent victory against Bayern, historical trends favor Bayern, who have won 56.3% of pre-match simulations. Leverkusen aims to capitalize on their recent form, having reached the semi-finals for the third consecutive year, while Bayern seeks to end a six-year absence from this stage.
