Lazio 1-0 Bayern Munich
Goals: 1-0 Immobile pen. 69'
Sent off: Upamecano 68'

Beaten 3-0 by Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend, Bayern set out to make amends in Rome as Joshua Kimmich flashed an early effort wide. Harry Kane could do no better after meeting a Thomas Müller cross, before Lazio began to threaten at the other end. Alessio Romagnoli headed straight at Manuel Neuer, while Luis Alberto fizzed a long-range strike narrowly wide. Leroy Sané and Gustav Isaksen exchanged shots from outside the area that failed to find the target as the first half ended all square.

Neuer made a crucial block to thwart Isaken soon after the restart. Jamal Musiala then directed a close-range strike from Noussair Mazraoui's teasing cross wide. Kane powered a header over as Bayern tried to steal a first-leg advantage, but they were left with it all to do when Upamecano was sent off for a 66th-minute lunge on Isaksen. Former Borussia Dortmund striker Immobile sent Neuer the wrong way from the resultant penalty to leave Bayern needing a win at the Allianz Arena on 5 March, if they're to reach the quarter-finals.

Half-time: Lazio 0-0 Bayern

A decent first-half from the Bundesliga side with Leroy Sané and Jamal Musiala having the game's best chances for the visitors. Thomas Tuchel might demand a little more from his team in terms of attacking threat after the break.

Action at both ends

Shot count on the rise

Sané's free-kick - which was a whisker away from going in - brings Bayern's chance count up to six. Lazio have had three efforts on goal in this intriguing first-leg.

Bayern seek advantage

The record Bundesliga champions are keen to take a positive result here tonight to bring back to Munich on 5 March. The pre-game stats tell a good tale for Thomas Tuchel's men, who haven't lost a Round of 16 first leg in the last 11 seasons.

And more ...

It's not just Lazio's Immobile who has past Bundesliga experience. Midfielder Matteo Guendouzi spent the 2020/21 season on loan at Hertha Berlin while Daichi Kamada is a former DFB Cup and UEFA Europa League winner with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Familiar face

Former Borussia Dortmund forward Ciro Immobile - who scored three times in 24 Bundesliga games in 2014/15 - netted his 200th goal in Serie A last weekend while he boasts 12 goals in 21 appearances in the Champions League. The 33-year-old will need to be closely watched by the Bayern rearguard this evening.

Tuchel makes changes

Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel reverts back to a four-man defence and makes three personnel changes to the team that began Saturday's loss against Bayer Leverkusen. Raphaël Guerreiro, Joshua Kimmich and Thomas Müller all come in while Eric Dier, Sacha Boey, and Aleksandar Pavlović drop to the bench. Recent signing Bryan Zaragoza is also among the substitutes for the visitors this evening.

Tuchel on Lazio challenge

Bayern's official website has been delivering more updates from the team's official press conference. This time it's Thomas Tuchel who has been speaking. "As ever with [Lazio coach] Maurizio Sarri [teams], they keep things tight and are tough to beat. I think it'll be an emotional game with the fans. We need to be prepared."

Dier at the ready

New Bayern defender Eric Dier has featured in four Bundesliga games for the Bavarian giants since completing his move from Tottenham Hotspur in January. The England international - who once played in a Champions League final for his former side and who boasts 30 Champions League appearances - is in line for a first game in the competition with the record German champions.

Previous meeting

These two teams met at the same stage of the competition three years ago, with Bayern prevailing 6-2 on aggregate to advance to the quarter-finals. Robert Lewandowski (2), Jamal Musiala, Leroy Sané, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and a Francesco Acerbi o.g. accounted for the Bayern goals across the two legs.

Neuer upbeat

Bayern captain Manuel Neuer has been speaking at his team's press conference in Rome and his words have been captured by the club's official website: "After a bad experience like Leverkusen it's nice to play again as quickly as possible," the legendary goalkeeper explained. "We have to remember the success we've had in the Champions League this season and take that with us," he added.

Kane a contributing factor

Bayern's goal-king Harry Kane is joint-second on the Champions League list of goal involvements this season with seven (four goals, three assists). England's record goalscorer is the Bundesliga's leading marksman with an incredible 24 top-flight goals this term while he has also weighed in with five assists.

Early team news

The visitors might be expected to line up thusly on Wednesday: Neuer (c) - Mazraoui, Upamecano, Kim, Guerreiro - Kimmich, Goretzka - Müller, Musiala, Sané - Kane. The Bayern absentee list is lengthy and reads: Aséko (ankle), Buchmann (thigh), Coman (knee), Davies (knee), Gnabry (thigh), Laimer (calf), Peretz (knee), Sarr (knee). New signing Bryan Zaragoza has recovered from illness and is in contention to make his Bayern debut.

Bounce-back-ability

Bayern stormed through the group stages to set up this knockout tie with Maurizio Sarri's Lazio. Yet last weekend's setback against domestic title rivals Bayer Leverkusen will have raised some questions about morale at the Bavarian giants going into Wednesday's first leg. Can Thomas Tuchel lift his team for what is set to be a huge occasion at the Stadio Olimpico?
