Arsenal v Bayern Munich

Arsenal vs Bayern Munich Preview

Arsenal made it back-to-back wins in the Premier League on Saturday evening down on the south coast when they inflicted a comprehensive 3-0 win away from home at Brighton at the AMEX Stadium which followed a previous 2-0 win against Luton Town, while Bayern Munich slumped to a second defeat on the trot in the German top flight, losing 3-2 away from home at Heidenheim in the Bundesliga.

The win at Brighton has extended Arsenal's unbeaten run in all competitions to seven games which consist of six wins and a draw and although The Gunners were handed a 1-0 defeat away from home at Portuguese club Porto in the 1st leg of their Round of 16 clash in the Champions League, Mikel Arteta's side eventually prevailed on penalties to send them through to this upcoming quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich.

The bigger picture shows Arsenal have been dealt just the single loss within their previous 13 matches in all competitions and having secured 11 wins within this impressive period of results, the north London club look set for further success in this 1st leg tie at their Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night.

In addition, Arsenal have won their last six home games on the trot in all competitions.

Bayern Munich's title challenge in the German Bundesliga is now effectively over as two defeats on the trot to Borussia Dortmund and Heidenheim have now allowed the current league leaders Bayer Leverkusen to stretch their lead at the top of the domestic top flight table to a seemingly unassailable 16-point cushion over the second placed side.

Bayern Munich will therefore now focus on claiming this season's Champions League crown in a bid to secure silverware this campaign but recent results have been somewhat inconsistent for Thomas Tuchel's side as the visitors have managed to capture just four wins out of their last 10 matches overall in all competitions.

Four wins within this period including a 3-0 home win against Lazio in the 2nd leg of their Round of 16 Champions League tie have been overshadowed by being handed five defeats as well, including a 1-0 loss away from home at Lazio in the 1st leg.

Results away from home have also left a lot to be desired from the usual German champions as Bayern Munich have registered just one win from their last six away games in all competitions and includes four defeats in the process.

Arsenal v Bayern Munich Verdict

Arsenal have won their last four home ties on the trot in the Champions League and although Bayern Munich have lost just twice in their last nine away ties in this competition, the hosts have produced the more consistent results of late.
