Bayern Munich host Lazio at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League tonight with the German side needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit to advance to the next round.
Thomas Tuchel will make a late decision on whether Leroy Sané will be fit enough to start after missing Friday’s 2-2 draw against Freiburg. Alphonso Davies could also return to the starting lineup in place of Raphael Guerreiro, while Joshua Kimmich should retain his place at right-back with Tuchel preferring Aleksandar Pavlović and Leon Goretzka in midfield.
Kicker suggest that Kim Min-jae will drop to the bench with Matthijs de Ligt returning to the starting XI after missing Friday’s game with a suspension. The Dutchman should play alongside Eric Dier, with Dayot Upamecano suspended after being sent off for a second bookable offence in the reverse fixture.
There’s also a chance that Serge Gnabry will be in the squad after a lengthy spell on the sidelines, but the German won’t start, while Mathys Tel remains an option after his goal against Freiburg.
Predicted Bayern Munich XI vs Lazio
Manuel Neuer – Joshua Kimmich, Eric Dier, Matthijs de Ligt, Alphonso Davies – Aleksandar Pavlović, Leon Goretzka – Leroy Sané, Thomas Müller, Jamal Musiala – Harry Kane.
