Why you should back Bayern Munich
Bayern will be eager to bounce back from Saturday's 3-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga. The club earned 15 of a possible 18 points during the group stage of the Champions League, recording five victories while settling for a 0-0 draw against Copenhagen. Harry Kane has been an offensive force for Bayern Munich, as he has factored in on seven of the team's 12 goals to match three other players for most in the competition.
Kane is tied for fifth in the UCL with four goals, three of which he recorded in back-to-back wins against Galatasaray. The 30-year-old striker also has notched three assists, tying him for third in the competition. Lazio also will need to pay attention to midfielder Jamal Musiala, winger Leroy Sane, and forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, who all converted when the teams met in the Round of 16 three years ago.

Why you should back Lazio
Captain Ciro Immobile was the top scorer in the group stage for the Biancocelesti with three goals. The 33-year-old striker netted the lone goal in a 1-0 victory against Feyenoord and recorded a brace in a 2-0 triumph over Celtic. Immobile also leads Lazio with six goals during Serie A play, including one in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Cagliari.
Three other players combined to produce the Biancocelesti's four other goals during group play. Spanish winger Pedro registered half of them, converting in a 2-1 win against Celtic and netting their lone tally in a 3-1 loss to Feyenoord. The 36-year-old has scored just once in 21 matches for Lazio this season in Serie A. See which team to pick here.
