Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal Prediction, Champions League Odds
What could be shaping up as a magical 2025/26 campaign for Arsenal continues Wednesday evening at the Emirates as the Gunners host six-time European champions and reigning Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich.
Coach Mikel Arteta’s squad is unbeaten in 15 matches in all competitions since dropping a 1-0 decision to Liverpool at Anfield at the end of August. Arsenal is looking to record its 16th consecutive victory at the Emirates in Champions League league-phase/group stage play following shutouts over both Olympiacos and Atletico Madrid this CL campaign.
The Gunners face perhaps their toughest test during that run against the Bavarians, who have trounced most everyone en route to an 18-match unbeaten streak to start the season. Both squads are undefeated through four Champions League matches, with Bayern currently sitting atop the table solely on goals scored. These are arguably the top two European clubs right now.
Arsenal is a +120 favourite to win on the Champions League odds, while Bayern is a +220 underdog. A draw is listed at +250.
Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal Odds and Betting Trends
Arsenal is 3-0-1 against the spread in Champions League play, including 1-0-1 at home. Viktor Gyokeres, who had a brace in the 4-0 win earlier against Atletico Madrid, is the club favourite to score Wednesday night at +175.
Bayern is 3-0 against the spread in CL play, with a 5-1 victory over Cyprus’ Pafos off the board. The Bavarians are 1-0 ATS on the road. Harry Kane, who already has 14 Bundesliga goals and a team-high five tallies in the Champions League, is the match favourite to score at +130.
Bayern Munich
Kane is clicking on all cylinders, but he’s not the only one. Liverpool transfer Luis Diaz has six goals and four assists in the Bundesliga, while Michael Olise has six goals and six assists.
Kane has five goals in CL play, including braces in the club’s opening two victories over Chelsea and Pafos. He did not score in Bayern’s last CL turn at European title holders PSG. Diaz was the early hero with a brace in the 2-1 win, but he is not available on Wednesday after receiving a red card just before halftime.
Arsenal
Arteta has been building for this season. With Liverpool faltering, the Gunners, with a six-point EPL lead over Chelsea, are in line for their first league title since 2004. The club has never won the Champions League, finishing as runners-up in 2006. This may be their best chance.
Eberich Eze is coming off the first-ever North London Derby hat trick in a 4-1 triumph over Tottenham over the weekend. Mikel Merino had a brace in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory in Prague over Czech title holders Slavia Praha. Gabriel Martinelli has three goals in CL play, while Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka have two goals each.
The Gunners have four clean sheets through four clean matches and have outscored their opponents, 11–0.
Champions League Prediction: Who Will Win Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal?
This is the marquee match in the fifth round of Champions League group stage play. Arsenal needs to make a statement on Wednesday night.
A win over Bayern further solidifies their double run this campaign in both the English Premier League and Europe. But the Bavarians won’t go quietly. Stopping Kane, once a twice-yearly assignment for Arsenal, is once again of the utmost importance.
Look for the Gunners’ defensive form to again shine through in a massive, 1-0 victory.
