Olivier Giroud

Olivier Giroud might not have been the first-choice striker over the course of his stint with Chelsea or for any stretched periods this season. However, in the UEFA Champions League, the Frenchman has proven to be the go-to man for the Blues, leading the way with six goals to his name.

The French man will provide the focal point that could give Chelsea the required edge to get the better of a stubborn Atletico Madrid defence.

Bayern Munich vs Lazio Preview:

Bayern Munich have the formalities of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie to complete when they host Lazio at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday night.

The defending champions were dominant in the first leg at the Stadio Olimpico when they beat Lazio 4-1. They raced to a 3-0 lead in the first half with goals from Robert Lewandowski, Jamal Musiala and Leroy Sane.

Hansi Flick’s men also had a routine win in the Bundesliga at the weekend as they warmed up for this second leg in style. Leon Goretzka, Serge Gnabry and Robert Lewandowski scored in a 3-1 win for Hansi Flick’s side against Werder Bremen at the Weserstadion.

After that first leg, Lazio lost two straight Serie A matches - against Bologna and Juventus. However, they returned to winning ways at the weekend when they beat Crotone 3-2.

They were pegged back after taking the lead twice in that game. However, Felipe Caicedo scored the match-winning goal in the 84th minute to give them a much-needed victory.

Robert Lewandowski

The 32-year-old Bayern Munich superstar is enjoying another dream season, having already managed to score 38 goals in just 34 games across all competitions while setting eight up for his teammates as well. And after scoring in the first leg against Lazio, Lewandowski became the third-highest scorer of all time in the Champions League with 72 strikes to his name. He will undoubtedly be the biggest threat for Lazio tonight.
