Analysis:
Lazio fought it out with agonizing breath in their Group F fixtures as they managed to qualify to the round of 16. A 2-2 draw against Club Brugge ensured they qualify. This is indeed a special moment for them as they have reached the knockout stages of Champions League after 21 years. Simon-e Inzaghi’s side also features in the top-four of the Italian league, Serie A.
After a 3-3 draw with Arminia Bielefeld and a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, the Bavarians are in a situation to bother. Their momentum has been crushed and they need a fighting spirit and mentality. The defending champions, managed by Hansi Flick would look to turn the scale around, beginning with this game.
