Your Web 3 Guru and Moonbet presenting todays match: Lazio Roma – Bayern Munich.
The UEFA Champions League resumes as Lazio aims to compound the woes of a struggling Bayern Munich in the first leg of their last 16 encounter. The Aquilotti head into this match buoyed by a 3-1 victory over Cagliari, ending a three-game winless streak domestically and seeking to carve a path to their first-ever quarter-final in this competition. However, the memory of their defeat in both legs of their sole previous encounter at this stage against Bayern in 2021 poses a psychological obstacle they must overcome.
Lazio also faces the challenge of their poor track record against German clubs, having secured just one victory in their last seven encounters (with one draw and five losses). Nonetheless, their strong performance at Stadio Olimpico in European competitions provides some confidence, with only one defeat in their last 12 home European matches (with six wins and five draws).
On the other hand, Bayern arrives in Italy following what goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer described as their “worst performance on one of the most important days,” suffering a 3-0 loss to title rivals Bayer Leverkusen, leaving them trailing by five points in the Bundesliga title race. This defeat halted their three-game winning streak and now they must regroup in a competition where they haven’t tasted defeat since early April 2023 (with five wins and two draws).
Despite their recent setback, Bayern is heavily favored to emerge victorious in this tie and advance to their 12th quarter-final in their last 13 Champions League campaigns. A triumph here would set them on the right path and extend their winning streak to six consecutive victories against Serie A sides in European competitions.
Key players to watch include Lazio’s Felipe Anderson, who has contributed to three goals in his last five league matches (with two goals and one assist), and Bayern’s Matthijs de Ligt, who played under Lazio’s manager Maurizio Sarri during his time at Juventus. Although de Ligt was benched in the Leverkusen match, he scored in the previous game and remains unbeaten in his last three personal matchups with Lazio (with two wins and one draw).
A noteworthy statistic is that seven of Bayern’s last eight Champions League goals have been scored after the 60th minute.
