Get ready for the return leg of the Champions League 8th Finals between Bayern München and Lazio. This should be an interesting match and this preview contains everything you need to know. Read on!

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Bundesliga. That game was an away game at Werder Bremen, so at least Bayern München are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

These teams have little in common geographically as Lazio have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

It's back home for Bayern München, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Werder Bremen away with the result 3-1. Leon Goretzka, Robert Lewandowski and Serge Gnabry found the net in that victory. Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Borussia Dortmund.

Lazio form and stats

Lazio's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.

6-2-5 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lazio in their Serie A matches away. Total Champions League statistics for Lazio: 2 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Lazio's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Lazio go into this game after a win, the home game against Crotone that ended 3-2. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Juventus's place.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager S. Inzaghi when Felipe Caicedo scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 76th minute.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Serie A trip to Udinese.

The travelling fans enjoy Lazio's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 13 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Lazio have conceded 21 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Lazio - München 1-4.
