Bayern Munich VS Lazio - Prediction

It's been a very difficult season for the German giant Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich are already 10 points behind the table topper Bayer Leverkusen. It seems the Bayern's supremacy has come to an end in the Bundesliga. Time for FC Bayern is not going well in the UEFA Champions League also. The first leg of the Round of 16 saw Italian side Lazio winning against Bayern Munich at Stadio Olimpico. However, Bayern Munich are all set to welcome Lazio in the second leg at Allianz Arena, aiming to smash the Italian club to secure their place in the quarter-final. Bayern Munich have already lost four games in Bundesliga, and two of them came in Bayern's last four games. As a result, the pressure is immensely rising on Bayern's boss Thomas Tuchel. Although Bayern are not planning to sack Tuchel until the end of the season, a negative result against Lazio tonight would force Bayern Munich to sack Thomas Tuchel immediately.

Prediction: Bayern 2-1 Lazio

The two sides are not in their best form. Lazio have won only one of their last four games since they beat Bayern Munich. So, it will be very difficult for the Italian club to win against FC Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena. On the other hand, Bayern Munich are more than desperate to get back into the winning track. This match is very important for Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel also. Therefore, we expect a high-voltage game tonight at Allianz Arena, where Bayern Munich are the clear favorite side against Lazio.
