A Clash for the Top Spot Between Arsenal and Bayern Munich

Arsenal face a major showdown for the top of the unified group in the UEFA Champions League when they host Bayern Munich on Wednesday evening, with both teams still unbeaten in the continental competition.

Arsenal will look to break the curse that has haunted them against the Bavarian giants, having failed to win any of their last five encounters (one draw and four defeats). They have also struggled against German opponents in general, winning only two of their last nine matches against Bundesliga clubs (one draw and six defeats).

This matchup will revolve around attacking power, with both teams boasting several prolific strikers — including Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, who has scored eight goals in his last ten appearances across the Champions League and domestic league.

On the other hand, Bayern place great hope on their English striker Harry Kane, who scored against the “Gunners” in the first leg of the quarterfinal during their game in the 2023–2024 season.

Here are the key stats that can help you predict the correct score and win valuable prizes with Betway:

  • Arsenal and Bayern Munich have met in fourteen previous Champions League matches — the most Arsenal have played against any single opponent in the competition. Arsenal have not beaten Bayern in their last five encounters since their 2-0 win in October 2015 (one draw and four defeats), with three of those four losses ending 5-1.
  • This is the fifth time Bayern Munich and Arsenal have been drawn together in the group/league phase of the Champions League. Bayern have lost just one of these matches — 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in October 2015.
  • Arsenal have won their last eight group/league-phase matches in the Champions League by an aggregate score of 24-2 — the longest run of its kind in their history.
  • Since their 3-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in September 2017, Bayern have lost only three of their last fifty-two Champions League group-stage matches (forty-five wins, four draws) — all three defeats coming away from home.
  • Arsenal are the only team yet to concede a goal in the Champions League this season.
  • Arsenal and Bayern are two of the four teams that have not trailed at any point during their first four Champions League matches this season (alongside Inter Milan and Manchester City).
  • In addition to scoring fifteen goals in twenty-one matches against Arsenal, Harry Kane has also scored six goals in ten appearances at the Emirates — the highest tally for any visiting player.
