Ace Football previews the Champions League game between Bayern Munich and Lazio and offers betting tips, odds, line-ups, and team news.
After a 4-1 away victory in the first leg, Bayern Munich are widely expected to topple Lazio once again.
The reigning European champions have been better in recent weeks and any hopes of a comeback are rather slim for the Italian outfit.
To go with, Bayern are a different side on home turf and have averaged almost three goals per game at the Allianz Arena this term.
It doesn’t get any better for Lazio, with the Italian side on faltering form at the moment. I Biancocelesti only got back to winning ways with a narrow 3-2 win over Crotone last Friday. They have only two wins from their last six games. It would take something special to see them stopping their German opponents today.
