In principle, there is nothing surprising. Lazio, after winning the match three weeks ago, lost three of their four Serie A matches, losing to Bologna, Fiorentina and Milan. Bayern, however, also has one victory – over Leipzig – in three championship matches (there was a defeat to Bochum and a draw with Freiburg), but Munich is playing at home and has a stronger squad. Plus, a successful performance in the Champions League is the last chance for Bayern to brighten up a bad season.
Each team has personnel problems. For Bayern, the injured Sane, Boe, Sarr, Buchmann, Mazraoui and Coman and the suspended Upamecano will not play. Lazio will not be able to count on the recovering Rovella and Patric.
The defeat to Lazio in the first match was Bayern’s first in the current Champions League – before that, the team won all six group stage matches.

Both were away (Atlético and Feyenoord), without scoring a single goal in these matches and conceding two in each.

Probability that in the match Bayern – Lazio “total over 2.5” – 1×1.53.
