Perhaps the only advantage for Lazio in this match is that Maurizio Sarri can field his strongest lineup, with no injuries or suspensions affecting the main squad players.

However, this does little to boost optimism among Lazio fans, given their team's current eighth position in Serie A.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich, coming off a humiliating defeat to Bayer Leverkusen over the weekend, is dealing with a crowded infirmary. The absence of wingers Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry poses a significant challenge for Thomas Tuchel's team. Coman is expected to recover only at the end of April, while Gnabry's return is anticipated later this month. In recent matches, Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sané have been deployed on the attacking flanks.

Additionally, the German champions will be without left-back Alphonso Davies, central midfielder Konrad Laimer, backup goalkeeper Dan Peretz, and right-back Bouna Sarr.

Possible Lazio line-up

• Strakosha – Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj – Guendouzi, Cataldi, Luis Alberto – Isaksen, Immobile, Felipe Anderson

Possible Bayern Munich line-up

• Neuer – Mazraoui, de Ligt, Min-jae Kim, Guerreiro – Goretzka, Kimmich – Sané, Müller, Musiala – Kane

The match is scheduled to kick off at 21:00 Central European Time.
