Why You Should Back Bayern Munich
Bayern will be looking to rebound from Saturday’s 3-0 setback to Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga. During the Champions League group stage, the team won 15 out of a possible 18 points, winning five games and drawing 0-0 with Copenhagen. Harry Kane has been an attacking powerhouse for Bayern Munich, contributing seven of the team’s 12 goals, tying three other players for the most in the campaign.
Kane is tied for seventh in the UCL with four goals, three of which came in back-to-back victories against Galatasaray. The 30-year-old attacker has also provided three assists, matching him for third in the tournament. Lazio will also have to watch out for midfielder Jamal Musiala, winger Leroy Sane, and attacker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who all scored when the clubs played in the Round of 16 three years ago.
Why You Should Back Lazio
Ciro Immobile, the Biancocelesti’s captain, led the team in goals during the group stage with three. The 33-year-old striker scored the only goal in a 1-0 win against Feyenoord before scoring twice in a 2-0 win over Celtic. Immobile also leads Lazio with six Serie A goals, including one in Saturday’s 3-1 victory against Cagliari.
During group play, three more players helped the Biancocelesti score four further goals. Pedro, a Spanish winger, scored half of them, including one in a 2-1 victory over Celtic and one in a 3-1 defeat to Feyenoord. This season, the 36-year-old has only scored once in 21 Serie A outings for Lazio.
