Bayern Munich vs Lazio Prediction & Betting Tips (5 March)

To almost everyone's surprise, Bayern conceded defeat in the first leg in the Italian capital 1-0. A defeat which confirmed the difficulties of this team which suffered a significant setback against Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 and which followed up with a new, more surprising one, on the field of Bochum 3-2 a few days later. This terrible series also led to the announcement of the departure of the coach, Thomas Tuchel, at the end of the season. Fortunately for them, the Bavarians were able to revive by dominating, down to the wire, RB Leipzig 10 days ago in the championship 2-1. Friday, the Munich residents were unable to follow up on the Friborg field 2-2 and were not really able to build up confidence before this return match. They are now 10 points behind Bayern Leverkusen who are heading towards the Bundesliga title. For their part, Lazio therefore created a small feat by winning in front of their home crowd in the first leg 1-0 after a rather controlled game on the part of the Italians.

This short advantage will not be too much for Maurizio Sarri's men before this return match which promises to be difficult. Because in the championship, the players from the “Eternal City” are not so reassuring. Defeated in Bologna 1-2, they were able to return to success by dominating Torino 0-2 before falling again on the lawn of Fiorentina 2-1. On Friday, the Romans lost again, this time at home against Milan, finishing the match 8 against 11. They are only in 8th position in the Serie A standings, 6 units from the top 6.

Once again, Thomas Tuchel is faced with an avalanche of injuries. We note the packages of the offensive executive Coman, the full-backs Boey and Mazraoui as well as the replacements Buchmann, Marusic, Sarr and Peretz. Furthermore, note the suspension of the French international Upamecano, at fault on Lazio's penalty after a nasty sole late and sent off immediately. On the other hand, the full-backs Davies and Laimer have recently returned to the field and are therefore available this Tuesday evening, while Gnabry and Coman have a chance to make their return this evening. Arriving last summer from Tottenham to win his first titles, Harry Kane is having an incredible season on a personal level (best scorer in the Bundesliga with 27 goals without forgetting his 4 goals, 3 assists in the Champions) but he is heading straight towards a white season collectively. The interesting Tel (4 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), Müller (1 goal, 7 assists) and Musiala (6 goals, 3 assists) could surround him in front.

Opposite, Sarri will see the young talent Renzetti return from his suspension (absent in the first leg) while the important midfielder, Rovella (18 appearances in SA) still seems injured, like the relatively important defender Patric. Elected man of the match, Mattéo Guendouzi sends a strong message to Deschamps with a view to the Euro but also to OM who sold him last summer in the wake of his missed penalty against Panathinaikos in the Champions League play-off . However, in the first leg, it was the historic scorer Ciro Immobile (6 goals in SA this season) who gave his team victory from the penalty spot. At his side, we should find the altruistic Felipe Anderson (3 goals, 6 assists in Serie A). In the middle, playmaker Luis Alberto is also very important in the animation of this formation (4 goals, 4 assists in Serie A).
