Bayern Munich: Current form and team news
Thomas Tuchel's team have been struggling in all competitions. In the Bundesliga, they are almost out of the title race. The Reds are 10 points behind Bayer with only 10 rounds to go. They were also knocked out of the DFB-Pokal by Saarbrücken in November. Winning the Champions League seems to be their only chance for a trophy this season.
The team's poor results can be partly explained by a large number of injuries. Players like Coman, Sarr, Gnabry, Mazraoui, and Sane will be unavailable for the upcoming match against Lazio. Upamecano, who was sent off in Rome, will also be absent.
Lazio: Current form and team news
Lazio's current form is also poor. They stand 8th in Serie A with 40 points and are unlikely to qualify for the Champions League next season. The Eagles have lost three of their last four matches and had three players sent off in their previous game against Milan. Lazio will face Bayern on Tuesday without Patrick and Nicolo Rovella, who are injured.
