Our prediction for this Champions League match:
Bayern Munich will look to overcome a one-goal deficit in the Champions League tie with Lazio when the two teams face each other at Allianz Arena on Tuesday evening. Thomas Tuchel’s men have slim chances of winning the Bundesliga title and, no doubt, they want to save the season by going all the way in the elite competition. Centre-back Dayot Upamecano is banned for the match, while all Leroy Sane, Kingsley Coman, and Noussair Mazraoui remain in the recovery room.
Fit-again left-back Alphonso Davies is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in a 2-2 draw with Freiburg. The Biancocelesti, on the other hand, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena. Even though Patric and Rovella are the only absentees in Maurizio Sarri’s team, we are going to bet on the Bundesliga outfit this time out.
Highlighted Player (Harry Kane):
Widely regarded as one of England’s best strikers at the moment, Harry Kane enjoyed a meteoric rise at Tottenham Hotspur, scoring 21 Premier League goals during the 2014/2015 campaign to be voted PFA Young Player of the Year.
The highly rated striker went on to surpass that achievement the following season as he helped Tottenham Hotspur mount a serious title challenge for the first time in club’s recent history and he made seamless transition to international football. Kane scored four goals in his first ten appearances for England to prove he was here to stay and at the same time established himself as a first choice striker in Roy Hodgson’s squad ahead of the Euro 2016 finals.
Kane is a modern striker, who is extremely dangerous in the opposition box, but it was some outstanding goals from distance as well as link-up play with teammates that earned him an excellent reputation in world football. Kane is expected to lead both Tottenham and England in years to come, that is if he can resist the lure of top European clubs that continue to cast admiring glances his way.
Highlighted Team (Lazio):
Lazio Roma are an Italian football club based in Rome. Lazio were founded in 1900 and they compete in the Serie A. The Biancocelesti (The White and Sky Blues) have won two Serie A trophies (1973/1974, 1999/2000), while lifting six Coppa Italia titles.
The capital club play their home games at Stadio Olimpico and Roma are regarded as Lazio’s main rivals.
The two teams face each other in the Derby della Capitale and it is considered the fiercest inter-city derby in Italy. Lazio won UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in 1999, with the team beating Mallorca in the title game. The same year they managed to clinch the UEFA Super Cup trophy as they outplayed English giants Manchester United at Stade Louis II, Monaco.
The likes of Pavel Nedved, Giuseppe Favalli, Juan Sebastian Veron, Sinisa Mihajlovic, Roberto Mancini, Giuseppe Signori, Miroslav Klose and Simone Inzaghi are notable footballers who played for Lazio in the past.
