The duel between the Bundesliga giants and the Biancocelesti gets off at 20.00 UK time at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Lazio pulled off the unimaginable in their first encounter with Bayern last month, edging off a 1-0 win following a 69th-minute penalty from club captain Ciro Immobile, an unexpected outcome that has put pressure on Thomas Tuchel and his side in Germany.
In the meantime, Bayern have started to lose pace in the Bundesliga title chase and now sit 10 points behind league leaders Bayer Leverkusen. Some rumors believe the loss versus the Biancocelesti could mark the end of Tuchel’s time in the dugout.
The Bavarian giants have a number of injuries to reckon with heading into the encounter, unable to count on Daniel Peretz, Tarek Buchmann, Noussair Mazraoui, Sacha Boey, Bouna Sarr, and Kingsley Coman.
Lazio is in a healthier state, only having to deal without the injured Patric and Nicolo Rovella.
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Mazraoui; de Ligt; Kim; Davies; Kimmich; Goretzka; Sané; Muller; Musiala; Kane.
Lazio (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic; Gila; Romagnoli; Hysaj; Guendouzi; Vecino; Luis Alberto; Felipe Anderson; Immobile; Zaccagni.
