Bayern Munich travel to Rome to challenge Lazio in the round of 16 of the Champions League, this Wednesday (9 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
A slap received in the clash at the top of the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen (0-3), sluggish play, a coach on edge and disappointing or downgraded executives: Bayern Munich is approaching this knockout phase of the Champions League in a climate of crisis. Thomas Tuchel sees his future threatened following the events of recent weeks. In this explosive context, this first round against Lazio Rome will be of capital importance, both for the Bavarian club and for its coach.
Opposite, Lazio hopes to defy the predictions. The Italian club is obviously not the favorite, even against Bayern in crisis, but it will have assets to put forward around its unalterable captain Immobile. Note the probable presence of former Marseillais Mattéo Guendouzi in the ranks of the Biancocelesti.
The expected compositions
Lazio Rome: Provedel – Marusic, Romagnoli, Gila (or Casale), Hysaj – Guendouzi, Vecino, Luis Alberto – Isaksen, Immobile (cap), Felipe Anderson.
Bayern Munich: Neuer (cap) – Mazraoui, Kim, Upamecano, Guerreiro – Kimmich, Goretzka – Sané, Müller, Musiala – Kane.
