Although maybe you have doubts about Bayern due to Bayern's recent inconsistency. But you also have to be more doubtful about Lazio which is much worse than Bayern this season. In serie a Last season Lazio managed to finish in 2nd place in Serie A. But this season Lazio is still rotating in a ranking closer to 10th and is having difficulty getting closer. 4th place. But still, Bayern won't be able to beat Lazio easily. Lazio could even surprise Bayern in the second leg. But in actual analysis, Bayern should be able to qualify from the round of 16 this season. Because actually Lazio is not as strong as them. It's just that Lazio has a careful game and rarely makes gaps for big matches.

Lazio's 1-0 win was not enough to be safe for leg 2. They will visit Bayern Munich on March 6. Playing defense for 90 minutes is not easy. Both teams still have a chance to qualify, but I'm favoring Bayern Munich to qualify. Munich won their last match against Leipzig. It was a result that strengthened the players mentally. Tuchel should also need to prove that he is a good coach and can bring big changes. Of course qualifying for the last 8 is a realistic target and I feel confident that Tuchel and Bayern Munich are capable of doing that.

The final results might be not the same if there was no a red card for Bayern in the minute 67' + a penalty.
Media said Bayern in crisis which probably true but Bayern is Bayern and this is the Champions League.
I dont think Lazio will be able to get a positive results in the 2nd leg later, in the 1st leg Bayern have 17 shoots but miraculously none of it are on target/shoot on target.

Tuchel is certain to leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season because he failed to coach Bayern Munich and it is even certain that he failed to defend the Bundesliga title. But against Lazio, I think this will be a game changer for his career at Bayern Munich. If he fails to make a comeback against Lazio in the second leg, chances are he won't have to wait until the end of the season to leave Bayern Munich, he could be fired.

Because as you said, the quality of Bayern Munich's players is above Lazio and the second leg was played at the Allianz Arena, so there is no reason for Tuchel to fail in the second leg, he has to work hard to turn things around against Lazio because this is a gamble on his career too. So, in my prediction, Bayern Munich will advance to the next round.

Apart from that, currently Lazio even looks weak in Serie A. Because they also just lost to Fiorentina. And I think this could provide a bigger opportunity in the second leg that Bayern as the host will undoubtedly be able to make Lazio lose. H.Kane and friends will definitely be able to correct the mistakes they made in the first leg and replace them with the victory they will get in the second leg.

The performance of the two teams is actually quite different. Bayern just needs to improve their accuracy when making attacks. Because actually Lazio's defense is not that strong. Even this season in Serie A, Lazio cannot be said to be a solid team. Because it's even difficult to get close to the top 4 rankings. Last season Lazio did get good results at the end of the season. But this season Lazio got off to a bad start along with Napoli.

Just like i said before Manchester City is lucky because as defending champion they didn't gets decent opponents since group stages and for round of 16 too compared to any other strong teams who playing at round of 16 i think the most comfortable is Manchester City because they got easy opponent Copenhagen and for second leg Manchester City will playing as a host and there is no chances for Copenhagen to win this match so clearly Copenhagen will be eliminate even my predictions is for second leg later Manchester City will playing with some of their reserved players because Guardiola want to ensure all of their players in the good fitness because they have a target want to pursuing Liverpool on Premier League

And for Real Madrid too although in the first leg they have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Leipzig they also more likely will be qualified to quarterfinal moreover similar to Manchester City for second leg Real Madrid will playing at Santiago Bernabeu and i am sure Real Madrid will be able to beat Leipzig again at there and besides all of those teams who mentioned above i think PSG too will certainly to qualified because near to impossible for Sociedad to gets the winning results 3-0 from PSG especially Sociedad currently looks unstable at their domestic league

I believe every league has its own pattern and approach a coach needs before he can successfully get his players at their best. And that is what Tuchel is doing. I cannot conclude that he is not managing Bayern Munich so well. We all know what he can do and what he has done. However, Lazio is no match for Bayern Munich. With this current level of both teams, i can assure you that Bayern Munich will win flawlessly.

We shouldn't forget that Bayern Munich has quality players but i don't really know what is going on with them in the Bundesliga. Maybe in UCL we may a see a better performance. Let's hope so.

I wouldn`t say luck, let`s say that Lazio woke up from a torpor that lasted months, in fact I didn`t think they would wake up again and I made a mistake in the prediction on an internal match (with Torino).

So be careful not to underestimate them, they are not an easy team to face, for everyone.

Goes up and don't performance in a team often happens, even though the team is basically a big and strong team. like what happened to Bayern Munich, after being defeated by Leverkusen. since that match, Bayern Munich has looked like a team experiencing internal problems. for example, a crisis of confidence, a player being injured, the system and pattern being implemented ineffective, as well as a mistake by one of the players. Bayern suffered two defeats after that, and almost ended in a draw in the match against Leipzig. Before Bayern host Lazio in the second leg, Thomas Tuchel's squad and his team will visit to play a match against Freiburg. so, we can look back at how Bayern Munich performed after Tuchel reviewed and improved his team's squad.

Talking about Bayern's Champions League match, as we agree, Bayern has the advantage of playing at the Allianz Arena, their home ground. playing in front of their supporters, will provide strong motivation for Bayern to overthrow the opposing team's squad. and Tuchel as Bayern coach, will do his job by making his team solid and prioritizing teamwork. in fact, I don't want to rush into speculation, even though I'm sure Bayern will be able to beat Lazio in the second leg meeting later. moreover, if we refer to the temporary betting market, Bayern Munich is far superior to Lazio in the second leg. well, let's just wait before these two teams meet.

I honestly felt differently about a 1-0 back at the time because most of the teams that played in the Champions League knew that they would probably score one goal in the second leg, at least when we reached the round of 16 most of the teams had the quality to score. It destroyed a lot in my opinion. Or let's say it this way, of course when the home team in the second leg scored first then the game was equalized, but the away team still had the chance for the knockout with just a single goal. What's the excitement if the away team scores the 1-1 in the 84th minute? Everyone knew that it was essentially over. This is fundamentally different today, which is good. Even if a team takes the lead in the second leg by one goal, it doesn't matter what minute of the game it is, there is still a chance to counter that goal for the team that fell behind.

What's the deal with the Swiss system? Lol, I feel like a newbie, should I know that?

Correct, in the end Bayern Munich won't become a champion, but it's really embarrassing if they gets eliminated by Lazio, I'm sure Tuchel would be fired a day after they lose.

Mark my words, the champion in this season are either Manchester City, Real Madrid or Inter Milan, the rest don't have any chance. I think this time should be Real Madrid, even Girona was overtake them, but they can regain back their position and stand strongers.

I Agree with you on the part of lazio not having players with much experience in the champions League, on like Bayern Munich players, who have been playing in the champions league almost every season, however tuchel for me hasn't been at his best since he arrived Munich, maybe he needs time or maybe he hasn't gotten the required technique to survive the bundles legal, on like when he came to Chelsea and turned things around for the London club withing the first few period he came. However his successor in Chelsea Mauricio pochettino has been doing an awful job.

I think more precisely Tuchel is not fired but he will resign at the end of the season. He knows his capacity is no longer adequate in handling Bayern Munich and that is why he is self-aware without having to be pressured by unilateral decisions. We know that his failure in the domestic league was the beginning of the downfall of his career at Bayern Munich and for a long time the results could not improve and instead got worse every day. The conditions are almost the same as what Bayern Munich is currently experiencing in the Champions League and we know whatever the result will not change anything other than Tuchel will still leave in the future.

I think even if Bayern Munich fails in the Champions League and is eliminated by Lazio, then they will realize that there is no one to blame anymore considering that they couldn't fix it from the start. However, even if Bayern Munich qualify, it won't change anything other than saving them from embarrassment in the higher rounds and previous expectations which placed Bayern Munich as one of the finalist teams in this season's Champions League will have disappeared.

In my opinion, choosing a defensive strategy against an attacking team is a very bad strategy, but on the other hand, Lazio has no other choice, and they can just hope that they can not concede a single goal from Bayern in two matches, it sounds doubtful, but they need to proceed somehow from the existing situation.

And whatever the situation in the team, even if this is true and the players thus showed Tuchel that he does not decide everything, it seems to me that in the match with Leipzig the situation changed and in the return match with Lazio, Bayern will show a completely different game. Just look at Bayern's stats, how the team generally plays, how many shots on target they average per game, and how many they did against Lazio. If Lazio can at least draw in Munich it will be a very big sensation.

Manchester City will be guaranteed to qualify for the next round because in the second leg they were very comfortable, because in the first leg Manchester City managed to win the match with a score of 1-3 at home to Copenhagen. The second leg will also take place at the Etihad Stadium so Manchester City's chances of winning will be much greater because they have a superior goal aggregate and are playing in front of their own supporters. Real Madrid is also the same and I am quite confident that they will win the match even though they won the first leg by a small score.

RB Leipzig could play more offensively, but they would not be able to defend using this strategy because Real Madrid could attack with full strength. Playing at the Bernabeu Stadium is a nightmare and especially for the Champions League, the stadium is very haunted for opponents who play there.

Manchester City are not worried about their second leg match. They won the away match by 3-1. After winning by 2 goals, they are in safe place now. Manchester City will try to win the home match as well. But I think City will play a bit defensive strategy in this match. Because Guardiola would not want any player in his squad to face injury. Along with winning the Champions League title, the team is also trying to win the Premier League title.

Real Madrid secured a narrow 1-0 win in the away match. There is no doubt that Madrid are strong at home. However, some key players in Madrid's squad are injured. So it won't be easy for Madrid to beat Leipzig at home. I think this match will be very competitive.

Munich will clearly have difficulty winning the Bundesliga title this season, because Leverkusen is very favored and already feels confident in breaking Munich's dominance this season, at least seeing the new champions this season and Leverkusen deserves to replace Munich in the title race this season, considering Tuchel Having failed to maintain Munich's dominance in the Bundesliga so far he is not in a good position, the possibility is that he will probably be fired if he fails in the UCL too.

I think we know that Tuchel actually can't be kept in Munich anymore because he didn't really succeed in bringing Munich to win the title this season, the Bundesliga seems like they have no hope of catching up with Leverkusen who so far have consistently maintained their record as a top club. have not been defeated this season, of course Munich will not have the opportunity to win the Bundesliga title at the hands of Leverkusen and while the UCL seems like Munich will have to work hard to beat Lazio in the second leg because it is hoped that victory will make Munich progress to the next round, but if it fails then This season, Munich is without a title this season and it is certain that Tuchel will be fired

To me, I am not seeing this games between real madrid vs leipzig as a very tough encounter because if you look at the historical performance of real Madrid especially at home, you will actually not give leipzig a chance against real madrid at the Santiago benabao, I just feels like the likes of Manchester city and Real madrid already have one foot in the qauter finals in this year Europe most prestigious tournament, the uefa champions league, because I really don't expect any surprised results from this two matches because of how confident I am in both teams.

Where I am very positive of an entertaining encounter is the match between arsenal vs Porto in the reverse fixture, because even though I fancies arsenal edging this one in
 a tight contested affair, I still sees this Porto team as a dangerous team to play against, so arsenal have to be at the top of their game for them to be able to win this one and qualiify to the next stage of the competition.

I think difference opportunity between Manchester City and Real Madrid on second legs match although both teams will playing on their home match, Manchester City has advantage by winning two margin goals after first leg defeated Copenhagen over 1-3 and seems easily for second leg match won over 2-0 or get draw. But difference position for Real Madrid because their margin only one goals and too risk for second leg match exactly RB Leipzig will playing more offensive on the early minutes.
But Madrid had impressive performance on every matches at their home, not difficult for defeating Madrid when playing in Santiago Bernabeu stadium and will be most crucial for Leipzig how possibility win over two goals.

Of course playing at home is a big advantage for a team, but for Bayern Munich they are currently experiencing a significant decline in performance in the last few matches so that is a possibility for Lazio.

If you look at the overall strength of these two teams, of course Bayern Munich has stronger strength, but I have a little doubt that Bayern Munich will easily beat Lazio in the second leg because of the problems they are currently experiencing.

For Tauchle, it is currently considered a failure to handle Bayern Munich with all the problems they are facing and the high possibility of retaining the Bundesliga title.
