Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Betting Preview
As abovementioned, the tie is finely balanced as the sides meet in Munich, having drawn 2-2 in the first leg. Bukayo Saka put Arsenal in the lead before goals from former Gunner Serge Gnabry and a Harry Kane penalty put German heavyweights in the driving seat. However, Leandro Trossard's 76th-minute equaliser means that everything is still to play for in the second leg.
Bayern Munich enter the match fresh from a 2-0 victory over FC Koln but their Bundesliga title defence is officially over after they watched unbeaten Bayer Leverkusen end their eleven-year dominance. Despite this, the Bavarians have been impressive in the UEFA Champions League, topping their group with 16 points from six matches, with their only draw coming against FC Copenhagen. In the round of 16, Thomas Tuchel's side initially lost to Lazio 0-1 but then crushed the Serie A outfit 3-0 in the return leg.
Arsenal are determined to recover from a disheartening defeat to Aston Villa (0-2 at Emirates), which resulted in a setback to their pursuit of the title. Mikel Arteta's men now trail Manchester City by two points after suffering their first Premier League loss of 2024. Despite going two games without a win and winning just two out of their last five competitions, the North Londoners have had a remarkable season, winning 22 out of 32 league games. They have scored the second-highest number of goals in the Premier League and conceded the least.
Bayern Munich has been experiencing difficulty in the quarter-finals, losing three times in a row after winning the 2020 trophy. Meanwhile, Arsenal hasn't reached the final four since 2009, with their two previous trips to the Allianz Arena still haunting them, losing 5-1 on both occasions (2015 and 2017). The Gunners have only prevailed once in six away games versus the Bavarians.

Probable Line-Ups
Bayern Munich (4-3-3): Neuer; Kimmich, De Ligt, Dier, Mazraoui; Laimer, Goretzka; Sane, Muller, Musiala; Kane.
Bayern will be without Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry due to injuries (along with long-term absentees Sacha Boey and Bouna Sarr), and Alphonso Davies is suspended. Leroy Sane, who starred at the Emirates, is also a doubt after he missed Saturday's win over FC Koln. However, Thomas Muller is expected to feature alongside Harry Kane in their attack, while defensive trio Eric Dier, Matthijs de Ligt, and Joshua Kimmich will provide cover for rested goalkeeper Manuel Neuer. Noussair Mazraoui may step in for Davies at left-back..
Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Jorginho, Rice, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has a nearly full squad to choose from, with Martin Odegaard expected to be available despite being forced off in their previous game. Gabriel Martinelli and Jorginho are likely to make a return to the team, while Takehiro Tomiyasu could start at left-back. Arteta may also decide to place Kai Havertz back in his natural position as a central striker for this match as his decision to drop the German into a deeper role on Sunday did not pay dividends. Gabriel Jesus provides a further offensive option.
Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Betting Tips
It's a crucial game for both sides, and both will be eager to secure a win and advance to the next round.
Bayern has been inconsistent lately, with four losses in their last nine games, but they remain unbeaten in their last 14 home matches in Europe's top tournament.
Arsenal appeared flat and faitgued in their last match against Aston Villa, and their record in away Champions League games this season leaves much to be desired with just one win (2-1 at Sevilla) in four matches. Although their past two visits to the Allianz Arena resulted in 5-1 defeats, those were many years ago. This time around, we anticipate a much closer match, but our prediction is that Bayern Munich will secure a vital victory to save their season.
Harry Kane's exceptional scoring record of 15 goals in 17 games against Arsenal makes him our top choice to score first. We predict a 3-1 Bayern win in the Correct Score market.
