Bayern Munich v Arsenal

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Preview

This upcoming 2nd leg clash between Bayern Munich and Arsenal in the Champions League quarter-finals is evenly poised at 2-2 after last week's entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium in England's capital and there's still everything to play for on Wednesday night when the two teams resume their battle at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich ended a rather ordinary recent set of results on the weekend as the German hosts registered a 2-0 home win against FC Cologne which prevented previous back-to-back defeats at the hands of Borussia Dortmund and Heidenheim from turning into anything more sinister, but now being 16 points behind the league leaders, Bayer Leverkusen, it looks like the domestic title is now out of reach for Thomas Tuchel's side.

Bayern Munich have managed to capture just five wins from their last 12 matches in all competitions which is a poor return by their usual lofty standards and having also slipped to five defeats as well, the straight win markets look a risky prospect here.

However, the goals market looks appealing for this return leg as seven of Bayern Munich's last 10 games in all competitions have resulted in both teams scoring and further goals look likely on Wednesday night too.

Arsenal were handed a rare defeat in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon as The Gunners suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa which not only ended a previously encouraging eight-match unbeaten sequence in all competitions but also resulted in Arsenal now trailing the new league leaders, Manchester City, by a two-point margin.

The north London outfit had previously captured six wins within their preceding eight games overall which included a 1-0 win against Porto and last week's 2-2 draw at home with Wednesday night's opponents Bayern Munich but Unai Emery's side now have to make their way to Munich for Wednesday night's return leg in what looks like being another tricky encounter.

The visitors do have one thing in their favour though and that is that they have produced more consistent results of late than their German counterparts especially away from home as Arsenal have been handed just the single defeat from their last seven outings on the road in all competitions.

That loss came in the form of a 1-0 loss at Porto but domestic wins against Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Burnley, Sheffield United and Brighton should still give The Gunners confidence ahead of this upcoming 2nd leg tie in Munich.

Bayern Munich v Arsenal Verdict

Each of the previous six meetings between Bayern Munich and Arsenal have resulted in both teams scoring with two of these six encounters resulting in score-draws so a repeat of last week's 2-2 draw may be on the cards here on Wednesday night.
