It's interesting indeed, because even though Bayern Munich this season will fail to win the Bundsliga trophy but yes, basically Bayern Munich still has good quality if we only compare Bayern Munich with Lazio. But yes,theresult in the first leg was a surprise because apart from losing with a score of 1-0, but in fact that Bayern Munich also had no shots on target at all in the first leg. Therefore, in the first leg it can be concluded that Bayern Munich played very badly or perhaps, Bayern Munich underestimated Lazio too much so that Bayern Munich was not in good focus in that match. So yes, with a very bad result in the first leg, then Bayern Munich should produce a better result in the second leg because Bayern Munich will also be playing at home.
It seems to me that there should be no such thing as underestimating an opponent at the Champions League playoff stage ,any team that was able to pass the group stage should by default be an opponent that is worthy of respect. Bayern simply were not ready for Lazio to play so well in defense, I think this is the main reason. But Bayern have the second leg where they will have a chance to turn things around, the difficulty for them may be, that their defense is not the best, and if Lazio can score again and try to play just as well in defense then there could be a sensation.Tuchel must be able to pressure his team to play more aggressively even though Lazio's defense is quite difficult to penetrate, just like in the first leg which made it difficult for Munich to score a goal in return, in the end they had to recognize Lazio's strength and admit their defeat, where Lazio deserved to win, I don't know in the second leg match whether Tuchel will apply the same playing style and strategy as the previous second leg match, of course if there are no changes then it will be difficult to win the second leg match later, all eyes will see how Tuchel convinces everyone that Munich can rise.
We saw a very good performance from Bayern Munich in the group stage matches. The team played well in the group stage matches. But the team has not been in good form in recent times. Not only did the team drop points against Lazio, Bayern Munich's performance in Bundesliga matches is also very poor now. In the last 5 matches in the Bundesliga, Munich have won only two matches, drawn one match and lost two matches. Despite having a strong squad, Bayern Munich are not able to perform well. As the team's performance is erratic. So there is no way to say for sure whether Munich will win the second leg match against Lazio by 2 goals.

I think that is Lazio's own strategy that they have come up with, so that they can use it to send Bayern packing from the league. On the one hand, Bayern should not be underestimated because they lost the first leg in Italy. Germany is their home, and we know how clubs use to be very strong when they are playing at home, and they do make use of home matches as an advantage to win any of their visitors. Lazio is leading, but they can still lose, and not qualify to the next round. This is why if Bayern needs the ticket to the next round, they need to make sure they will the match.
Lazio team is not strong. But their match strategy is quite good. This team has a strong defense. And because of the strong defense, the team won against Munich in the previous match. It will not be easy for Munich's players to score against Lazio in the second leg match. And if Lazio manage to score the first goal of the match again, then I would say Munich will not win the match. But my guess is that the match will be a draw or Munich will win 1-0. The match is likely to end in a penalty shootout.
