Munich has seen goals from both sides in their last three matches and in three of their previous four home fixtures in this tournament. Lazio, on the other hand, has yet to secure a Champions League victory on German soil, drawing two and losing two. Bayern has successfully navigated through 11 of their last 12 Champions League knockout rounds at the last-16 stage. Additionally, in six of Lazio’s most recent seven away matches in this competition, both teams have managed to score. It’s a solid bet to expect goals from both teams in Bavaria.
Bayern Munich’s 1-0 loss to Lazio in Rome marked a forgettable period, being part of a three-match losing streak for the German giants, a game that Thomas Tuchel’s team would rather erase from memory.
In that encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, Bayern didn’t manage a single shot on target, and their form hasn’t shown significant improvement since, only managing a draw against the erratic Freiburg in the Bundesliga last Friday.
Despite their struggles in the first leg, Bayern’s goal-scoring prowess at the Allianz Arena is undeniable, and they’re expected to rally and keep their quarter-final aspirations alive come Tuesday.
Bayern has notched up 45 goals in their 15 home fixtures this season, indicating they’re set to lift the spirits of the Munich supporters in the return leg.
Expect the Second Leg to Deliver More Entertainment However, Bayern aren’t the only team expected to light up the scoreboard in Bavaria, as Lazio possesses the talent to leave their mark as well.
The team from Rome has found the back of the net in six of their last seven matches, with both teams scoring in six of their last seven Champions League away fixtures.
While the first leg was relatively uneventful, the stakes couldn’t be higher for the second leg. Bayern’s drive to turn around a disappointing season might leave them vulnerable at the back, making it a wise choice to back both teams to score in Munich.
