Normally, every team is usually strong at their own playground and Bayern Munich is not excluded for the list too but the recent development in Bayern's squad is not a good sign to guarantee their winning in Allianz Arena. Remember Werder Bremen smashed them in their home just last month and Lazio is strong more than Werder Bremen.

Bayern has a top striker at the moment with one of the best goal keeper too and high level individual players. These actually mean they have higher chances to bounce back in the second leg but it all depends on Tuchel decision to make use of the right players in various positions. By the way, Lazio defense is not a joke, they have one of the strongest defense and this is very obvious if you check their goals conceded ratio. I won't be surprised if they come prepared to defend from first minute of the game till the end just to guard the one goal lead.

However, we don't know how the match will turn out in the second leg. although as we can see, also referring to the betting market, the probability of Napoli is very small. however, we also have to remember that the results will be determined later when this battle is held. I remember very well last season, at that time Barcelona had a fairly high probability of playing against Inter. however, the result was that the match ended with a score of 3-3 in the second leg and Barcelona failed to advance to the next phase.

In the round of 16 second leg against Napoli, it looked like a similar situation to the previous season. Barcelona is superior even though their performance is unstable. the advantage of playing at Camp Nou at home, plus several players have recovered from injuries. Barcelona has odds @1.66, while Napoli @5.20. there is a gap between these two teams, especially in the first leg, the match ended in a draw. so, it is very natural that Barcelona has a higher probability of winning this match.
even so, Napoli will try to work hard to provide resistance to the home team. after all, Napoli has a chance, even though the probability is very small. Let's just wait, after all the match will be held on February 13th. there are still things that can be improved by Barcelona and Napoli.

Thomas Tuchel will try his best to improve his team's performance in the second leg. He has made a mutual decision to terminate his contract with Bayern Munich at the end of the season, so he must make this final season special.

Bayern Munich don't have a good chance of winning the Bundesliga title this season, but they still have a chance to go higher in the Champions League. Lazio of course has the advantage after winning the first leg, but Lazio will have a big challenge at the Allianz Arena in the second leg and it won't be easy. Bayern Munich has a big chance to win the second leg, they will perform optimally later.

In my opinion, Bayern Munich's results and performance are due to Thomas Tuchel, and Thomas Tuchel will definitely part ways with Bayern Munich soon.
Bayern Munich's performance under Tuchel this season looks less than good, they failed in the German Super Cup and are now 8 points behind Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga standings. Apart from that, in the Champions League, Bayern Munich lost 0-1 to Lazio in the first leg of the round of 16.
The presence of Harry Kane should make them much better because he is very good and contributed many goals while playing for Bayern Munich. And I doubt that Bayern Muchen can beat Lazio in the second leg even though they are playing at home, and have to play attacking to be able to score goals to qualify for the next round. However, in my opinion, Lazio will play more defensively and rely on counter-attacks if there is an opportunity.

Bayern Munich did not perform well against Lazio at all. We didn't expect Lazio to win beforehand but we saw something different in the match. Bayan Munich have performed well this season so far and they have shown a lot of strength in their defense but against Lazio Bayan Munich showed poor defense. Bayern Munich will start from behind in the next match, in which case they will have extra pressure. The goal difference must be at least 2 because Bayern Munich are already one goal behind. Even if the result of the match is 1-0, but Bayern Munich will not go to the next round, they must prepare in the next match so that they can win against Lazio by a big margin.

Napoli is not that good compared to the barcelona. The result from the first leg gives us clue about how strong barcelona for napoli is. Let's see the statistic and it says there was no big gap between napoi's stats compared to the barcelona. barcelona was also intensively attacking napoli too.  Barcelona will be surely on big advantages.
The morality from playing at home will be boosted a lot compared with the good result in the previous game. Barcelona can win the game even if it was only beating napoli with narrow score. Barcelona needs only to put more efforts when napoli will be only defense against barcelona.
The chance owned by napoli is pretty small and its odds has been reflected it too. Im sure that many people are also feeling so damn good to bet on abrcelona caused by they have bigger chance to get ez reward from betting on this match.


So true, let's see what line up will be used by napoli. Im sure this club will not be stupid enough to risking the club to leave from UCL caused by lose against barcelona. So, napoli can take the risk and it doesn't matter whether club play beautifully or not as long as napoli win the game and everything is fine.
I think that napoli will be only putting more players at mid. It must be a good effort to prevent barcelona from passing each other. Doing intercept was the best way for napoli.

The Good news is that Coman, Mazraoui, and Boey started running training after injury.
Bayern is flopping hard this season, eight points behind Leverkusen at the top of the table.
Bayern will have to work harder to reach a high level for the rest of the season, especially in the UCL.
And I have a feeling that Kane will be the savior of Bayern.
Kane scored so many goals and assists for the team and gave everything in every game. It would be tragic if he didn't win a trophy.

Of course, Bayern Munich will have to beat Lazio at home. This is not only an opportunity to continue but also the honor of the German king. Anyway, at the beginning of the season, they got off to a good start and are candidates for the championship this season. Bayern changed completely, no longer following Jamal Musiala's ball deployment rhythm nor creating opportunities for Harry Kane. With the current unstable and deadlocked performance. The Champions League is the only hope for Bayern Munich to salvage an unsuccessful season. I still believe in the strength of Bayern Munich and hope to turn the situation around in the second leg.

Even though I am an Italian football fan. But I personally also have to admit that Bayern is still better than Lazio at the moment. Lazio might be lucky to win the first leg. But the second leg looks like it will be different. And yes, Bayern Munich should be able to create more pressure in the second leg. It's just that Lazio will probably try to maintain the 1 goal lead they got in the first leg. And this will mean that Bayern must be able to score at least 2 goals and cannot concede even 1 goal in the second leg. Harry Kane currently looks increasingly reliable at Bayern Munich and this could be the reason for Bayern being able to score more than 1 goal.ble at Bayern Munich and this could be the reason for Bayern being able to score more than 1 goal.

Bayern Munich scored a first goal in that match and created some more opportunities to expand goal difference to 2 - 0 but they wasted all chances including a terrible shot over the cross bar by Harry Kane. If Kane scores in that situation, Bayern Munich even can win big. Then the red card of Upamecano changed all and Lazio after the equalizer, had some chances to win at home.

Bayern Munich luckily to end it as a draw and came back home to host Lazio without disadvantage from a first leg. To beat Lazio, their attacking players must sharpen their finishing skills and make more accurate shots.

Bayern Munich was unable to win the first leg against Lazio due to their incompetence and weakness throughout the preceding week. The Bavarians ventured on a three-game losing streak, indicating catastrophic results for the team. Bayern Munich is returning stronger than ever, and this time they have no choice but to eliminate their opponents; they have enormous winnings. While Lazio is having one of its most dire seasons, they lost points in their previous game, but they aren't concerned because they are only competent at one thing: defensive tactics against Bayern Munich.

Lazio's performance in Serie A is also not very good. In fact, they lost to Bologna recently. It's just that Bayern also has an unstable performance in the Bundesliga. Because Bayern also lost to Bochum 2 weeks ago in the Bundesliga. And this will only make Leverkusen even more comfortable in the Bundesliga and it looks like it is certain that they will win the title in the Bundesliga this season. And this could indeed make Bayern more motivated to focus on the UCL. And I think that in the second leg, Bayern can win and turn things around and in the end I hope that Bayern progresses to the next stage. Because honestly I expect Kane to have good achievements in his career.

I think Bayern played well against Lazio but they lacked finishing and fell victim to a big mistake by the defence. I think they will win differently in the next game and they will take it in Bayern style, otherwise Tuchel will be shown the door. Bayern's defence is very heavy and they don't know how to pass. They pass very slowly. If the second goal had come, maybe Lazio could have eliminated Bayern, but Bayern will finish the job in the second leg. Otherwise there will be huge consequences.

Yes, it's true that currently there is no chance for Bayern Munich to catch first place in the Bundesliga, but isn't this football full of surprise prizes?
I'm not saying Bayern Munich can still catch first place in the points table but we all don't know what will happen at the end this season.

Talking about Bayern munich chances of victory and goals, currently the biggest chance of qualifying with Munich as long as doesn't end a draw. I'm sure Tuchel can get his club through to the round of 16 but if ends in a draw, I don't have any more speculation because the penalty round difficult to win predictions.
If bayern Munich successful in continuing to fight until the quarter finals, I would say that Tuchel will likely try to replace the bundesliga title with the champions League title, but we'll see what the results will be against Lazio they manage to win with big score Bayern Munich has improved its performance again.

I think it is highly unlikely that Napoli can win at Camp Nou, Napoli is a team totally in the budget, a distant memory of the Napoli Italian champion last year. Although Barcelona has not done its best championship of the last 20 years, it can count on very strong and unpredictable players. Statistics in hand for me a victory of Napoli remain unlikely but not impossible, in football everything can happen

From the recent performances of Barcelona, it is possible that they will win Napoli in Camp Nou. This is because is like Barcelona have started improving in their performance and seriousness to win matches, unlike before. We have seen them win their recent games, apart from the one that they played draw with Napoli. This past weekend, they won, and this will give them confidence on facing Napoli with high morale.

Napoli is also a team that is passing through difficult times like Barcelona, but they might not be able to play the way that they played in Italy, because there is always a home advantage for every club playing at home. However, it is 50-50,and any of the club that can outsmart the other club will win the match, and qualify to the next round.

Bayern must beat Lazio at home, despite difficult times, the difference between the teams is very big. Lazio can try to play well defensively, but it will be difficult against Bayern, although they managed it at home.

The Bayern headquarters are very optimistic, they are confident that they will be able to reach the next round of the Champions League playoffs. There are injured players, but the main ones are probably Gnabry and Coman, otherwise everything is fine. If Tuchel doesn’t start changing something in the usual lineup model again, then Bayern shouldn’t have any problems.

The bad performance would be from either the tactics of the coach, the abilities of the team working together or that of the Injured players who have been reported to be out and won't be part of the game they've played.
They're not looking good to be called winners of the Champions League, I don't think I'd agree with you on that part of your post. If they can maximize the chances and opportunities they have then, they will go a long way against Lazio.

The players are poor then the coach should have something to do, if he cannot control his dressing room then sooner or later he needs to leave despite agreements of leaving at the end of the season.
Players like Alphonso Davies and Joshua Kimmich all are being linked to leave the club at the end of the season.

There's no way Xabi Alonso and his lads wouldn't be Champions of Bundesliga League Competition, they have come a long way now, they deserve it truly.

The possibility of Bayern Munich winning the Bundesliga trophy is very small so the Champions League will be more motivation for them to go further or even become champions.

If you look at the opportunities in the second leg, I think Bayern Munich has quite a big chance, they are only 1 goal behind Lazio and the second leg will be played at their home, of course the percentage for Bayern Munich to qualify is very large.
However, currently what is a bit of a concern is the performance of Bayern Munich's players which is quite poor with all the internal problems that this team is experiencing.

quite curious about what  Bayern Munich will do in the opening match of Leg 2. being left behind by Lazio is a major blow especially for Tuchel who doesn't take advantage  of his players. But once again because the UCL is difficult to predict, regardless of whether they are  superior or not in the second leg, playing at home if the hosts are  unable to play solidly then bad results are inevitable. sometimes we  ask what is missing from a stable  club like Bayern Munich? they have a higher chance but on the other hand I also want Lazio  to fight harder to increase their enthusiasm in the UCL.

An unexpected alternative for example is that Lazio is able to end the second leg with a win, so it is very likely  that Bayern Munich will have big problems because they are chasing trophies in the Bundesliga far behind Leverkusen.
