The UEFA Champions League match between Bayern Munich and Lazio will take place at Allianz Arena on Wednesday at 1:30 am IST.
Bayern Munich will attempt to overturn Lazio’s one-goal lead in the Champions League last-16, following their 1-0 defeat in the first leg in Rome last month. While Lazio is on the verge of a first quarter-final appearance in two decades, Bayern Munich, three-time consecutive quarter-finalists, aims for a seventh European title. Despite topping Group A comfortably by eight points, Bayern Munich faced a setback at Stadio Olimpico, where they lost 1-0, Adding to Bayern’s challenges, it was announced that manager Thomas Tuchel is set to leave the club in the summer. Bayern currently trails Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen by 10 points and has won just one of their last five matches.
Having already exited the DFB-Pokal and lost the DFL-Supercup, Bayern faces the possibility of a trophyless season, intensifying the pressure on the six-time European champions. Lazio, back in the Champions League knockout phase after an eventful Group E journey, secured a crucial advantage with Immobile’s penalty. The Italian side is on the verge of the quarter-finals, having reached this stage twice before, only to be eliminated on both occasions.
Lazio’s knockout stage record is strong, progressing from 12 of their last 13 ties after winning the first leg. However, they face challenges on the road, having lost half of their away fixtures in Serie A this season. Despite remaining in the Coppa Italia, Lazio’s recent defeats in Serie A highlight the difficulties they may encounter in Munich. The chaotic loss to AC Milan in March raised concerns, emphasizing the need for discipline in their upcoming challenging fixture against Bayern.
Bayern Munich probable starting lineup: Neuer, Kimmich, De Ligt, Kim, Davies, Pavlovic, Goretzka, Tel, Muller, Musiala, Kane
Lazio probable starting lineup:Â Provedel, Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Guendouzi, Cataldi, Alberto, Anderson, Immobile, Zaccagni
