Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Prediction & Match Preview

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Match Preview

• We’ve seen three or more goals in eight of Bayern Munich’s last ten outings in all competitions.
• Arsenal shipped two goals in each of their previous two matches.
• Harry Kane has scored 32 Bundesliga and 7 Champions League goals this season.

Last April was very painful to Arsenal’s fans as the Gunners dropped a solid advantage at the top of the Premier League standings to lose the title bout to Manchester City. This one could be even worse for Mikel Arteta’s troops. Arsenal shockingly fell 0-2 at home to Aston Villa on Sunday to lose the pole position and fall behind Manchester City once again in the Premier League title race.

Arsenal will have only three days to recover. They head over to Munich where they will face German heavyweights Bayern in the reverse game of the Champions League quarter-final. A thrilling first leg encounter brought us a 2-2 stalemate. It was a result Bayern’s fans were certainly happier with ahead of the rematch on their soil.

The Bavarians have also gone through a lot in their domestic competitions this season. Their 11-year Bundesliga supremacy came to an end at the weekend. Bayer Leverkusen have just mathematically secured their first league title via a 5-0 thumping of Werder Bremen on Sunday afternoon at BayArena. Bayern Munich had earlier suffered n embarrassing DFB Pokal elimination to lower-division rival, meaning Europe’s top tournament remains their lone chance to rescue the season.

Recent Meetings

• Bayern Munich have been much more successful in meaningful clashes against Arsenal in this decade. However, they are winless in the last three encounters with the Gunners.
• The run includes a couple of friendlies in 2017 and 2019 respectively. In the Champions League, Bayern Munich claimed three separate 5-1 wins over Arsenal, in 2015 and 2017 respectively.
• Both teams scored in each of the previous six head-to-head games.

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Prediction

Both Bayern Munich and Arsenal possess an incredible firepower on display in the final third. They’ve also both been fairly vulnerable in defence in the latest fixtures. Bayern Munich have thus conceded two or more goals in four of the previous five outings across competitions.

The Gunners shipped two goals in each of their last two games. They go into this off the back of a 0-2 home loss to Aston Villa. Moving forward, we’ve seen goals at both ends in each of the previous six head-to-head meetings between Bayern and Arsenal. The run involves the last week’s 2-2 stalemate in the first leg of this UCL tie. The Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick has to be the way to go at the 1.80 odds.

Harry Kane did not make grade as a Gunner in the Arsenal academy in his early teenage days. Instead, he has been causing their fans a lot of pain while wearing Spurs colors over the last several years. Harry returned to North London with a bang last week, scoring his team’s second goal in a draw at Emirates Stadium.

With 32 Bundesliga and 7 Champions League goals to his name this season, it is fair to say that Kane is enjoying a stellar campaign on an individual level in his maiden year at Bayern Munich. As we expect another high-scoring thriller in this matchup, it is hard not to find the value in backing the English talisman to score anytime on Wednesday at the 2.20 odds.
