Bayern Munich vs Lazio predictions for Wednesday’s ⅛ finals of the UEFA Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena in Munich. After a 4-1 comfortable first-leg win, Bayern Munich host out of favor Lazio. Follow on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Title Holders at their best
Bayern Munich have been outstanding in the UEFA Champions League this season. The Bavarians are undefeated so far and will advance to the quarter-finals unless a miracle happens by Lazio. Bayern’s latest form suggests they are top favorites as they have won four in a row.
The Bavarians are on an incredible goal-scoring record. They have shaken their opponents’ net 19 times in the last six matches. With an average of over three goals per game and Robert Lewandoski on form and doing his hobby of scoring almost in every game, it is hard to stop the Die Roten.
In their first leg match in Rome, Bayern had finished the tie in the first half after scoring three. They had 57% of ball possession, 563 completed passes and out of 13 goal attempts they had seven on target.
Lazio playing for their pride
It is very difficult for a team to play away in a second leg with a 1-4 deficit from the first leg. Coach Simone Inzaghi has to urge his players to play for their pride and not suffer another heavy defeat in Munich to preserve their good reputation in European football.
Lazio were also undefeated in their group stage matches but playing Bayern Munich proved too much for them. Although the Italians had their chances in the game with 14 goal attempts but had only five of them on target and scored once.
Simone Inzaghi must be worried about his team’s defensive performance as his team has conceded 11 goals in their last four matches with an average of almost three goals per game and no clean sheets.
Key Stats
Bayern Munich vs Lazio Prediction
One thing is certain and that is there will be goals in this match as both teams’ all matches in the UEFA Champions League this season saw over 1.5 goals per match. Bayern Munich with their scoring power have an average of 3.14 goals per game while Lazio have 1.71 goals per game.
All the odds involving Bayern are quite low as they are the favorites to win, qualify, and score. A Bayern Munich win and both teams to score seems a very appealing bet with an odds of 2.45. It is risky but a likely outcome and we are backing it. A safer bet is for both teams to score though with 1.67.
