Simon Dalton presents his prediction for UEFA Champions League match.
Arsenal
Arsenal have topped the Premier League table right before this game. A draw in the game between Liverpool and Manchester United helped them do it. Arsenal easily beat Brighton on Saturday (3:0). The Gunners have taken 38 points in the last 15 Premier League home games. Only Liverpool have more (42), but they have played 16 home games. Arsenal have scored 33 and conceded only 4 goals in the last 10 Premier League matches.
Bayern Munich
Bayern’s statistics look pretty poor. Last weekend saw them losing their second consecutive game. After being beaten by Heidenheim (2:3), Bayern are already 16 points behind Bayer. The Leverkusen side can take the title in the next game. Bayern have played 7 away games in 2024, losing 4 of them.
Arsenal – Bayern Munich prediction
These sides have the first head-to-head game in 7 years. In 2017, Bayern were the obvious favourites in the Round of 16 of the Champions League. Currently, Arsenal are the favourites in this match.
Despite recent poor performance of Bayern, this team is still strong for Arsenal. I believe that we’ll see an active and open game with many attempts on target.
