Bayern Munich vs Lazio Match Preview and Prediction
Bayern Munich vs Lazio: Bayern Munich has advanced in 11 of 12 Champions League R16 matches. Lazio’s previous two chances at this stage of the top European competition ended in elimination. Bayern Munich’s Champions League and Bundesliga scoring leader is Harry Kane.
When Bayern Munich hosts Lazio on Tuesday night in the second leg of their last-16 round UEFA Champions League match, they will be looking to overcome a one-goal disadvantage. For the Bavarians, who are having a difficult season at home, a probable loss at this point in the campaign would be the last straw.
Following their 2-2 draw at Freiburg on Friday, Thomas Tuchel’s team is now 10 points behind Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga. With RB Leipzig defeating Bayern in the German Super Cup final and the team already out of the German DFB Pokal, Bayern’s last chance to win a trophy this season is in the Champions League.
Lazio won’t enter this with much more optimism either. In their last four league games, they have suffered three losses. The direct European opponents, Fiorentina, Bologna, and Atalanta, dealt successive home defeats to Maurizio Sarri’s army. Four days earlier, they lost 0-1 at home to AC Milan, which extended their bad run of play.
Bayern Munich vs Lazio: Betting Analysis
Three years ago, these two teams clashed in the Champions League at this level. Bayern Munich won at home and away to progress 6-2 on aggregate. This Champions League season, Lazio won the reverse tie on Valentine’s Day 1-0. Bayern Munich will play Lazio for the fourth time.
Road struggles have plagued Lazio this season. They lost half of road Serie A matches this season. In the Champions League group stage, Biancocelesti lost to Feyenoord and Atletico Madrid away. Losses were at least two goals. Since this game is essential for Bayern, we expect Tuchel’s team to dominate from start to finish. Bayern Munich is better; therefore, we’ll support them to win by 2+ goals at 1.85.
So far this season, Harry Kane has been Bayern Munich’s star. With 27 goals in 24 Bundesliga games this season. With four Champions League goals in seven games, the English forward leads the club. Kane scoring anytime on Tuesday at 1.72 is a good bet.
