Bayern Munich vs Lazio
UEFA Champions League
Date: Wednesday, 17 March 2021
Kick-off at 20:00 UK/ 21:00 CET
Venue: Allianz Arena (Munich).

After a successful trip to Italy in the first leg of the play-offs, Bayern Munich will host the Italian side for the second leg in the Champions League. The host will come into the game with a three-goal lead in the aggregate from the first leg 1-4 win on the road. With the reigning champions aiming to keep their title intact, expect a high-scoring affair at Allianz Arena this week.

Lazio is unlikely to create problems for the home team in the upcoming clash. The Italian side had a disappointing finish in the first leg at home and is not likely to make a comeback against the German giants. The away team boasted an impenetrable defense in European competitions, but their last clean sheet in such a contest was in the 2003/04 season.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Head-to-head (h2h)

• The teams have met only once, and the Bavarians took a 1-4 away win.
• The host has been unbeaten in their last eight matches with other Italian sides.
• Half of those eight Champions League fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals.
• The away team has only one win from the last five clashes with other German clubs.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Prediction

There is no doubt that the match is sizing to be a home win in full-time. Along with that, there is a good chance that the clash will produce over 2.5 goals as usual at the Allianz Arena. Bayern Munich will look for their ninth UCL final in the last ten attempts and for a consecutive title this season.

The Bavarians have shown no mercy at Allianz Arena, and after scoring four goals in the trip, a similar high-scoring affair is the best bet when the Bavarians play at home. The likes of Lewandowski, Sane, Muller, Gnabry, etc. have made things easier for Hans Flick. So, the tip for over 2.5 goals will probably be the best bet for the punters.

To increase the stakes for better returns, the tip for Bayern Munich to win with a -1 handicap will probably be the ideal choice in the clash. Lazio is not at their best on the road and hasn’t fared well against other German sides in major competitions. Besides, the Bavarians will not lose a chance to showcase their strong attacking in the middle, especially in UCL.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Betting tips

• Over 2.5 goals @ 1.40 (2/5).

• Bayern Munich to win with a -1 handicap @ 1.80 (4/5).
