In superb form at the moment, Lazio have been tearing it up in the Serie A, and are gradually climbing up the standings. Bidding a top-four finish, the Biancocelesti are leaving no stone unturned in their chase for Champions League qualification.

With their counterpart plain-sailing, Bayern Munich are currently in something of a bind. They have failed to pick up a single win in their previous two league games. Now, they will be looking to set the record straight with a positive result in Rome.

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Team News

Following a rather slow start to the Serie A campaign, Lazio have rallied around to begin stringing vital victories on the trot. Racking up the points lately, they are gradually climbing up the table, and have even become strong top-four contenders.

Currently placed fifth on the log, the Eagles have garnered a whopping 43 points from 23 games. As things stand, they only sit outside the top-four mix via their inferior goal difference ratio. Last time out, they were made to dig really deep to post a win.

In action against tricky Sampdoria, Alberto made the net bulge midway through the first-half as the Biancocelesti forged ahead early on. Failure to kill the game left Lazio in the lurch, as they were made to soak in pressure in the dying stages.

Weathering the storm, the Eagles held their own until the final whistle to safely bag maximum points. Now switching focus to the Champions League, Inzaghi’s men will continue their quest for an unprecedented success in the competition on Tuesday.

Preparing to tackle defending champions Bayern Munich in the Round-of-16, the Italian outfit know they will have their work cut-out to progress at the expense of the Bavarians. The German machines sealed their status as the most formidable European team last season.

Picking up from where they left off in the previous campaign, Bayern have been very magnificent this term, churning out fantastic performances and results as well. With 16 points from 6 fixtures, they comfortably topped their CL qualifying section.

That said, Hansi-Flick will be a little worried about his side’s recent form, given they are winless in their last two games. Having received a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt on the last matchday, the Bavarians will be aiming for a return to winning ways in midweek.

Injured or Suspended Players

Lazio: Luiz Felipe, Thomas Strakosha, Stefan Radu, Andreas Pereira and Gonzalo Escalante.
Bayern Munich: Corentin Tolisso, Alexander Nubel, Thomas Muller, Serge Gnabry, Douglas Costa and Benjamin Pavard.

Lazio vs Bayern Munich Predictions

Suffering major injury crisis, Hansi-Flick hasn’t been able to pick out his strongest lineup for a while now. But he will be thanking his stars that the likes of Goretzka and Javi Martinez are back in the side for this fixture, to bolster Bayern’s midfield options.

Boasting an array of fantastic forwards in their ranks, the Bavarians’ attack should cause Lazio a couple of problems. While we expect the Eagles should give Bayern a game, the Germans should come out on top in the end, perhaps fortuitously.
