Why is Bayern Munich a safe bet to win?
Bayern hadn’t been playing well at all. Not only did Bayern fall to rival Dortmund in a 2-0 match, but Munich followed up the loss with an inexcusable 3-2 defeat to Heidenheim.
But then, Bayern flipped the switch. Facing Arsenal as a big time underdog, Bayern got a goal from Serge Gnabry and the fantastic Harry Kane even up the Gunners. Now on their pitch, Bayern looks to stamp their ticket to the UCL semis on Wednesday.
Possible Line-Up
- Neuer
- Dier
- Min-Jae
- Upamecano
- Goretzka
- Pavlovic
- Boey
- Mazraoui
- Kane
- Musiala
- Sane
Bayern Munich’s Last 5
- Draw: 2-2 vs. Arsenal
- Loss: 3-2 vs. Heidenheim
- Loss: 0-2 vs. Borussia Dortmund
- Win: 2-5 vs. SV Darmstadt
- Win: 8-1 vs. Mainz
Why is Arsenal a safe bet to win?
The Gunners show 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5. The second draw was against Bayern while the first was versus Manchester City.
So Arsenal has drawn against the two best teams they’ve faced in their current form cycle. That’s not a terrible thing, considering the Gunners had no idea what to expect from Bayern in the first leg. Now that Arsenal has seen Bayern in action, they will be more prepared to mark and handle Kane and Gnabry. Expect a better performance from the road squad than in the first leg.
Possible Line-Up
- Raya
- Gabriel
- Saliba
- Kiwior
- White
- Rice
- Havertz
- Odegaard
- Trossard
- Martinelli
- Saka
Arsenal’s Last 5
- Draw: 2-2 vs. Bayern Munich
- Win: 0-3 vs. Brighton

- Draw: 0-0 vs. Manchester City
- Win: 1-0 vs. FC Porto
Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich Betting Prediction
Bayern stepped it up big time in the draw against Arsenal in the first leg. But even though Munich is the home team in the second leg, the Gunners project an air of confidence that should lead them to the victory.
Saka, Odegaard, Trossard and the rest of Arsenal’s starters controlled the entire first leg match. Possession was 60% in favor of the Gunners. Arsenal also took 13 shots compared to 8 and 4 shots on goal compared to Bayern’s 2.
This season, Bayern has struggled to put together back to back terrific performances. For every 7 goals victory over Mainz has been a flub against a squad like Heidenheim. More consistent, Arsenal gets the road win and moves to the UCL semis.
