On Tuesday, at the "Allianz Arena," the return match of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 between Munich's Bayern and Rome's Lazio will take place. In the Italian capital, the "eagles," through Chiro Immobile's penalty goal in the middle of the second half, snatched victory. Will Bayern be able to stage a comeback? Here's the prediction for this encounter from Dailysports experts.
Bayern
Thomas Tuchel's team is on the brink of a trophyless season for the first time in many years. They were eliminated from the German Cup by the modest Saarbrücken in autumn. Following a dropped point in the recent away match against Freiburg, Bayern has allowed Bayer Leverkusen to pull ahead by 10 points. The ticket to the quarter-finals is hanging by a thread. Overall, Bayern has only managed one victory in their last five matches, defeating Leipzig at home but suffering three defeats with one draw in the rest.
Lazio
In the Italian Cup, the "eagles" sent their neighbors from Rome home in the quarter-finals, but the situation in the league under Maurizio Sarri isn't as bright. Currently, Lazio sits in eighth place in the table, accumulating 40 points from 27 matches. They are six points behind the European qualification zone. In the last two Serie A matches, Lazio lost to Fiorentina (1-2) and Milan (0-1). Overall, in their last five Serie A matches, they've suffered three defeats with two wins.
Interesting Match Facts and Head-to-Head History
- In the first leg in Rome, the German champions outplayed the hosts in almost all aspects but faltered in the crucial statistic - shots on target. Throughout the 90 minutes, Bayern failed to register a single shot on target against Lazio.
- Prior to this, the teams clashed in the UEFA Champions League playoffs in the 2020/2021 season, where Bayern defeated Lazio twice - 4-1 in Rome and 2-1 at the "Allianz Arena."
Bayern vs Lazio Prediction
The main question now is whether Bayern will continue to falter or stage a resurgence. A 0-1 deficit after the away match doesn't spell catastrophe, and it's entirely within the hands and feet of Thomas Tuchel's team. Our bet is on "Bayern to Win and Total Over 2.5" with odds of 1.76.
