Bayern Munich will face Lazio in the second leg of the Champions League pre-quarter at Allianz Arena at 8:00 p.m. Bayern lost the first leg 1-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
Currently, Bayern are going through a tough situation. Tuchel's future will be decided in this match. Bayern only won 1 game out of the last 5 games. Even though it was a bad time, the Bayern fans think Bayern will bounce back and qualify for the quarterfinals.
On the other side, apart from a 1-0 lead, Lazio hasn't had a great result in the last few games. They are currently in 9th place in the Serie A table. Maurizio Sarri will believe their team can do the same at the Stadio Olimpico.

Dayot Upamecano is suspended following his red card in the first leg. Leroy Sane is set to feature again following his groin issue, but Tuchel says they will have to wait and see whether they include Serge Gnabry in the squad following his muscular injury.

Lazio are unable to count on Patric, who is suffering from an ankle injury, and Nicolo Rovella, who is dealing with inflammation of his pubic bone, reducing Sarri’s options a little. The rest of the squad is fully fit and available for the match.
Captain Ciro Immobile is expected to lead the line up front, with Valentin Castellanos available on the bench as a back-up option.
