Bayern Munich vs Arsenal UEFA Champions League Tips & Prediction


Bayern Munich are tipped to extend their incredible home form in the Champions League with a marquee victory over Premier League champions Arsenal, with Harry Kane set for more goals on Wednesday night at the Allianz Arena.

One of the standout games of the entire league phase, Bayern and Arsenal will both be determined to claim early bragging rights ahead of a potential meeting deep into the knockout phase.

Arsenal haven't been great lately and Bayern are beasts at home on European nights, so I like the hosts to emerge triumphant - and former Tottenham man Kane to pile more misery on the Gunners here.

Kane has scored in nine consecutive Champions League outings, including five braces across the last two seasons, while he has also netted 15 times against Arsenal throughout his career.

Even money for Kane to find the back of the net appeals, as does 2+ goals at $6.00.

Goals usually flow in Bayern matches, so Over 3.5 goals also stands out as an attractive option in what should be a cracking spectacle on Wednesday night in Munich.
  • Bayern have won their last nine CL league/group phase matches at home
  • Bayern are unbeaten in their last 39 CL league/group phase matches at home, winning 37
  • Bayern have won their last five games at Allianz Arena, scoring 5+ goals in all
  • Arsenal are winless in seven of their last eight away games vs German teams
  • Bayern's last eight CL games have seen an average of 5.5 goals
  • Harry Kane has scored 1+ goal in nine straight CL games, while he has 15 goals vs Arsenal & had 2+ goals in five CL games last season

Bayern vs Arsenal Head To Head

This will be the 16th meeting between the teams, with Bayern holding an 8-4 advantage alongside three draws. Bayern have won five of their seven home games vs Arsenal, including three straight.

Bayern are unbeaten in their last six home games vs English opposition, winning five.

Bayern Munich Form Analysis

Bayern's home form has been ridiculous to start the season - they've won all four of their games at Allianz Arena, scoring 23 goals in total and 5+ in all four.

Part of that run includes a 5-0 demolition of Bodo/Glimt on Matchday 1 and a 6-1 thrashing of Leipzig in the Bundesliga this past weekend, with Kane grabbing his obligatory goal and providing two assists.

That victory propelled Bayern back to the top of the league table, but they will be hoping to bounce back from a shock result on Matchday 2 of the Champions League, where they were held in a thrilling 3-3 draw away to competition debutants Viking.

Bayern Munich Team News

Michael Olise was sent off for picking up two yellows in the second-half of that game and is suspended for this one, with teenage rising star Lennart Karl a chance to feature as his replacement.

Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer should return after missing the Leipzig win with a foot issue.

Luis Diaz grabbed a hat-trick against Leipzig and will be keen for more impact here.

Bayern Munich Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Manuel Neuer; Konrad Laimer, Jonathan Tah, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies; Joshua Kimmich, Aleksandar Pavlovic; Lennart Karl, Ismael Saibari, Luis Díaz; Harry Kane

Arsenal Form Analysis

Just more of what you come to expect from Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta's side have won 10 of their 11 games this season, but few of those wins have been eye-catching.

If anything, the Gunners' form has dipped over the last month or so, suffering a shock 3-0 defeat to Brighton before the break before unconvincing wins by one-goal margins over Leeds and Nottingham Forest.

Arsenal do continue to roll in the Champions League, winning 14 straight games in the league phase of this competition, including victories to nil over Napoli and Lille this term.

Arsenal Team News

Piero Hincapie (ankle), Christos Tzolis (hamstring) and William Saliba (back) remain sidelined for Arsenal.

Noni Madueke is a chance to replace Eberechi Eze in the starting side after impressing on the weekend vs Forest, while Jurrien Timber and Viktor Gyökeres could also force their way into the XI.

Arsenal Possible Starting XI (4-2-3-1): David Raya; Jurrien Timber, Ezri Konsa, Gabriel Magalhães, Riccardo Calafiori; Declan Rice, Bruno Guimarães; Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke; Viktor Gyökeres

Verdict

Harry Kane is tipped for more goals as Bayern look for a fourth straight home win over Arsenal.
