Undefeated in UCL, Lazio looking to extend their run
After a great run of form, Lazio have reached the top four in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi will hope to take that form to Tuesday but it won’t be an easy task against holders Bayern Munich.
Lazio have not lost in the Champions League with two wins and four draws, they finished second in Group F scoring 11 goals and conceding seven. Inzaghi has some defensive issues to take care of as his team has conceded 7 goals in their last five domestic games.
IL Biancocelesti will have a difficult task at home to keep a much-needed clean sheet against a very strong Munich side, something they managed twice in their last five matches.
Holders Bayern Munich to get back on form
The German champions seem to be jaded after their exploits in the world club cup where they won the title. A very busy schedule has seen Bayern play five games in 15 days.
That seems to have taken its toll on Hans-Dieter Flick’s players as they drew against Arminia Bielefeld 3-3 and lost to Eintracht Frankfurt in their last two matches in the Bundesliga.
But Bayern remain favorites coming into this game as they won five of their six group stage matches in UCL and drew one. They average three goals per game in those six matches.
Key Stats
Lazio vs Bayern Munich Predictions
Bayern have seen a dip in form in their last two matches as they head out to hunt at a tough venue. Defensively they haven’t been reliable and being an attacking team as they are, Lazio can create chances and score.
Lazio are in very good form and go into this match with great confidence. If they can take advantage of Bayern’s weaknesses in defense in their last two matches, they are in with a chance of having a good result.
