Match Preview
There will be huge action at the Allianz Arena this week, as Bayern Munich have a disadvantage that they will need to overturn against Lazio. The first clash between these sides was staged on Valentine’s Day, with the Italian side picking up a deserved 1-0 win in Rome. Ciro Immobile netted the only goal in that game, but Lazio probably should have won by a wider margin.
Bayern still have a solid overall record against Lazio, having won two of the last three. Both of their wins were recorded in the 2020-21 season. Meanwhile, Lazio haven’t recorded a victory in four away matches against German opposition. Their most recent trip to the Allianz Arena ended in a 2-1 defeat in March 2021.

Bayern may have suffered defeat in the opening leg, but they have exited the Champions League at the round of 16 stage on just one occasion in the last 12 seasons. However, it could be worth noting that they have been eliminated from each of their last seven ties when they have lost the opening leg.
Meanwhile, Lazio have progressed from 12 of their last 13 ties after winning the opening leg. Their only defeat was suffered in the 2017-18 Europa League, as they were beaten comfortably on aggregate by RB Salzburg. However, the trends certainly favor their chances this week.
