Why you should back Bayern Munich
Die Roten need to find the form they had during the group stage of the Champions League, where they posted five wins and a draw. Bayern have played well defensively since opening the competition with a 4-3 victory against Manchester United, allowing fewer than two goals in each of their last six matches. They have conceded just once over their last three contests.
Striker Harry Kane has been a force for Bayern in his first season in the German Bundesliga, and he has been one of the top offensive players in this competition as well. The 30-year-old striker, who leads the Bundesliga with 27 goals, is tied for sixth in the UCL with four tallies and shares third place with three assists. Winger Kingsley Coman (two goals) is unavailable due to a knee injury, but Bayern still has midfielder Jamal Musiala and forward Mathys Tel, who also have scored two goals apiece.

Why you should back Lazio
The Biancocelesti also have come up with some strong defensive efforts during Champions League play, giving up more than one goal in only two of their seven contests. Lazio have posted clean sheets in three of their last four matches, including the first leg of this matchup. Striker Ciro Immobile netted his sixth goal of the competition in that game, tying him with Kane and eight others for sixth place.
The 34-year-old Immobile, who has converted a team-leading six times in 23 Serie A contests this season, is the only player that has produced in Lazio's last three UCL victories. During the group stage, he scored in the 1-0 victory against Feyenoord and registered a brace in the 2-0 triumph over Celtic. Winger Pedro has recorded half of Lazio's four other goals in the competition, including the winner in the club's 2-1 win versus Celtic. See which team to pick here.
