Bayern Munich vs Lazio prediction
Bayern Munich are facing the prospect of a Champions League exit if they cannot secure a win in this game but their form is a major concern for Tuchel.
Just one win in their last five in all competitions does not inspire optimism for the hosts, and despite Lazio also struggling, the visitors will look to grit out a draw in Bavaria.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 1-1 Lazio
