These predictions below for Lazio vs Bayern Munich UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Round of 16 match were made by Bookmaker Ratings. For more predictions on UCL, Premier League, Bundesliga, Serie A, La Liga and other European football leagues, visit our Football Predictions & Betting Tips page.
We are predicting a draw in this game.
Lazio, the hosts, are undefeated in home matches this Champions League campaign, with two wins and one draw from their three contests at home.
Overall this season they had only two defeats at Olimpico, against Genoa and Inter (both Serie A matches).
On the other hand, Bayern Munich players have to bounce back after a loss against Bayer Leverkusen.
The German side have not only “problems’ on the pitch but also outside; its enough to watch Thomas Muller’s after-match interview (against Bayer).
Without a doubt, Bayern are favourites in this pair, but we are not in the first leg.
Prediction: Draw
When the teams met in the UCL 2021 round of 16, in both games there were at least 2 goals. We expect to see the same scenario repeated.
Betting Tip: Total goals over 2
Lazio host Bayern Munich at the Stadio Olimpico in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League round-of-16 clash on Tuesday night.
The hosts made it through to this stage of the competition after securing the 2nd spot in Group E, which included Atletico Madrid, Feyenoord and Celtic.
Lazio, though, are now in the knockout stages of the UCL for the second time in 24 years, having last made this stage back in 2000.
It is remarkable that the last time Lazio played in the round of 16, their opponent was Bayern Munich. The German side progressed comfortably on that occasion with a 6-2 aggregate win.
Maurizio Sarri’s men are currently eight in Serie A, level on points with seven-placed Fiorentina, but with an inferior goal difference.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, comfortably topped a Group А also consisting of FC Copenhagen, Galatasaray and Manchester United
However, the reigning Bundesliga champions suffered a tough defeat last weekend, as Thomas Tuchel’s men lost 3-0 away at Bayer Leverkusen in the top of the table Bundesliga clash on Saturday evening.
Lazio: Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Romagnoli, Hysaj, Luis Alberto, Cataldi, Guendouzi, Felipe Anderson, Isaksen, Immobile
Bayern: Neuer; Kim, Dier, Upamecano, Mazraoui, Pavlovic, Goretzka, Boey, Musiala, Sane, Kane
