📰 Team News: Bayern Munich

Daniel Peretz (Inner ligament injury), Noussair Mazraoui (Torn muscle fiber), Sacha Boey (Torn muscle fiber), Kingsley Coman (Internal ligament tear), Bouna Sarr (Cruciate ligament tear) and Tarek Buchmann (Torn muscle bundle) won’t be able to feature for Bayern Munich gaffer Thomas Tuchel. Dayot Upamecano cannot play in this game through suspension.

It looks as if Bayern will possibly opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, handing starts to Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Eric Dier, Min-Jae Kim, Alphonso Davies, Aleksandar Pavlovic, Leon Goretzka, Mathys Tel, Thomas Mueller, Jamal Musiala and Harry Kane.

📋 Team News: Lazio

Lazio manager Maurizio Sarri has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Patric (Ankle injury), Nicolò Rovella (Inflammation of pubic bone) and Luigi Sepe (influenza) can’t be considered.

We’re of the thinking that i Biancocelesti seem most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out Ivan Provedel, Adam Marusic, Mario Gila, Alessio Romagnoli, Elseid Hysaj, Matteo Guendouzi, Danilo Cataldi, Luis Alberto, Gustav Isaksen, Ciro Immobile and Felipe Anderson.

✨ Prediction_ 3-1.

For this match, we think that Bayern Munich will most probably stay in control for long periods of time and should be able to convert a few of the chances that they create.

At the other end, Lazio could well struggle to find the back of the net but we can see them converting at least once here, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a pretty comfortable 3-1 victory for Bayern Munich by the time that the referee blows the final whistle.
