The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another set of matches this week as Lazio lock horns with Thomas Tuchel's Bayern Munich side in an important encounter at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.
Lazio vs Bayern Munich Preview
Lazio are currently in eighth place in the Serie A standings and have failed to meet expectations so far this season. The home side eased past Cagliari by a comfortable 3-1 scoreline over the weekend and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are in second place in the Bundesliga table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Bavarian giants slumped to a damaging 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
