PREDICTION

Lazio are likely to spend much of the second leg entrenched within their own half as Bayern Munich launch wave after wave of attacks on their goal. Thomas Tuchel will undoubtedly emphasise the importance of patience to his squad before the match, but with the stakes so high and Bayern boasting a side brimming with experience in crucial European encounters, they understand the significance of starting strongly. While Bayern boast Harry Kane in their ranks, Lazio also possesses a perennial goalscorer in Immobile, and if the experienced forward gets an opportunity, it's unwise to bet against him converting it. With the hosts now going seven games in all competitions without a clean sheet, the prudent move here is to bet on both teams to score across 90 minutes, irrespective of which team progresses to the quarter-finals.
