Team News

Lazio
Bayern
  • Andreas Pereira missed the 1-0 win over Sampdoria with a fever and will be assessed for the welcome of Bayern Munich.
  • Luiz Felipe, Thomas Strakosha and Stefan Radu sit out this Champions League clash.
  • Mateo Musacchio has been included in Lazio's Champions League squad and should feature alongside Patric and Francesco Acerbi at the back.
  • Benjamin Pavard and Thomas Muller recently tested positive for COVID-19 and miss out on this first leg Champions League tie.
  • Niklas Sule is expected to feature at right-back once more, fitness depending, with Bouna Sarr an option for Hansi Flick.
  • Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting featured in the number 10 role in Bayern's last two league games, but Flick may instead push Leon Goretzka forward and bring David Alaba into midfield, which would see Lucas Hernandez start in defence.
  • Corentin Tolisso, Douglas Costa, Serge Gnabry and Alexander Nubel are sidelined.

Prediction

  • Lazio have lost just two of their last 10 competitive matches, winning the other eight, and have been exceptional at the Olimpico since the end of 2020. Indeed, head coach Simone Inzaghi has masterminded seven successive victories in Rome.
  • After winning the World Club Cup earlier this month, Bayern have been brought crashing back down to earth, failing to win two successive games, including a 2-1 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend. Nevertheless, FC Hollywood were excellent in the group stages, earning 16 points from their six matches.
  • Bayern may have been nigh-on unstoppable in the group stages, but the absence of key man coupled with fatigue following the Club World Cup could see Lazio earn a first leg advantage on Tuesday night.

  • Whoflopped.com again flopped with their pathetic prediction. Mia San Mia!! Also middle fingers to trolls who predicted Lazio win.

  • @saudes Prediction was 2:1 *LOL* Hilarious!

  • @saudes lol

  • @saudes A Lazio win was not totally out of the question considering Bayern‘s performances lately. Nobody is a troll just because they thought Rom could win. However, giving a middle finger to someone with a different option than your own is usually a sure sign of being a troll.

  • @neumi17 I'm an older user than you on this website, so calling me troll is unwise. I've seen users downplaying Bundesliga clubs a lot here, so it was just a payback.

  • Can anyone explain why Lazios penalty shout wasn't given?

  • so people ridiculed me and I was right. don't care, but I'm happy with this result

  • @wilde You were right. Just try not to call every other league bad. Others just don't have enough resources to match PL. Of course Juve losing to Porto is unacceptable.

  • @falcon_ranger I've never called other league bad. Serie A is a very good league. I watch it every weekend.

  • Lazio in general is not bad team but their defense tonight......... No comment... :D

  • Ref is a joke

  • @alx30 just like you

  • 0-9 Bayern

  • @yoyo GFYS

  • "League form in not a good indicator of next UCL performance", Dortmund-Sevilla, Bayern-Lazio. Watch Man City get battered by Gladbach tomorrow. LOL

  • @falcon_ranger ok i know what you mean but that's not gonna happen

  • lazio should quit playing football. Horrible club

  • what an expected one-sided game, but 90% of the comment section did really go for Lazio :D

  • Yeah, I thought so...this will be trashing

  • Yeah, I thought so...this will be trashing

  • lazio is a joke smh

  • Ciro to score 2+

  • Lazio 3 : 0 Bayern München

  • Lazio to win 3-2

  • I think draw or X2.

  • sorry,lazio actually deserve the victory.it is more likely going to be a narrow win for the home team as they need to utilize the home advantage and hope for at least a draw in the second leg.2-1 for lazio!

  • @easygambling Pathetic analysis, quit watching football

  • Bayern cannot be trusted.They are inconsistent.

  • @nexus747 Sure, Lol

  • 1-4 for Bayern

  • @Nataku Bravo

  • @Nataku Good guess, nice ;-))

  • 3:2

  • Both teams to score likely

  • why would a 6th club from a smaller league be the favorite in a match against a 1st club from a better league?

  • @wilde So true

  • @wilde i agree with u this comment section is weird, im going for a 1-4 for Bayern of course

  • @wilde better league? :D Don't be ridiculous.

  • @MSR Now who sounds ridiculous?

  • @MSR did you really register on this page just to write this comment? :D

  • @MSR very reasonable and intelligent retort lol

  • @wilde Bayern is a better team over any seria A team no doubt but that dosnt make bundesliga a better league than seria A,Plus we all know Bayern are coming into this game with tons of keys players sidelined. Lazio is a better opponent than Armenia bielefeld and Frankfurt that Bayern respectively dropped points against in their last two.

  • @xray Lazio is not better than Frankfurt

  • @xray no, that alone doesn't make Bundesliga a better league; many other things do.

  • @wilde Bayern are awful the past month, there main man is out, lazio will score, Bayern will push up to get one.. lazio will get another one. 2-1 to lazio

  • @DavyK and who is the "main man" in Bayern?

  • @wilde because football don’t work that way

  • @footballover well it doesn't work the way making Lazio a clear favorite here either. I've never said that Lazio can't win btw, but that doesn't change the fact that they can't be favorite here.

  • Why not high score draw?

  • unexpected 1-2, Lazio defence is overrated

  • inzaghi has to keep the ball in his possession in order to win the match

  • @rcelsaka yes, the coach has to keep the ball in his possession and not give it to his players. but he won't win the match then because you can't score a goal without the ball.

  • it's a draw.the both side gonna be evenly matched

  • 2-1/2-2

  • Everything is possible. A win for Bayern maybe less likely

  • Lazio 1-1 Bayern

  • 1-0 Sergej!
