Bayern Munich v Arsenal predictions and football betting tips for this week’s Champions League fixture and the best odds and offers for betting.
Arsenal travel to Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week, looking to earn back to back wins over the German Giants following their superb 2-0 victory at The Emirates a fortnight ago. The match kicks off at 7:45pm on Sky Sports and here are our match predictions and betting tips.
Bayern Munich v Arsenal Predictions
After a remarkable start to the campaign, Bayern Munich have finally started to slip up in both the Champions League and the Bundesliga. The German Champions won their first ten matches in a row in the league, but drew a blank away at Frankfurt at the weekend to record their first dropped points of the season.
Despite the result only being a 0-0, it was the second time in three matches that Pep Guardiola's men had failed to get on the scoresheet – if you count their defeat to The Gunners – and will surely offer a small crumb of optimism for Arsene Wenger ahead of their crucial clash in Bavaria.
However, Bayern do head into the match buoyed by the recent return of Arjen Robben to the Bayern Munich starting line-up. Despite his penchant for the occasional dive, the Dutchman is an absolute world beater on his day and has been a perpetual scourge for British teams over the years. Combine this with the outstanding form of Robert Lewandowski, and Arsenal will have to produce something really special if they are to pick up anything from the match. The best odds for Lewandowski to score first are 7/2 at William Hill and you get a refund if he scores second.
The Gunners do head into the tie in good nick themselves, nevertheless. Despite a number of key injuries, Arsene Wenger has seen his side win their last five Premier League matches in a row. With the small matter of the 2-0 victory over Bayern sandwiched in between those results.
Although a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday in the League Cup certainly blotted the copybook last week. Judging by Wenger's team selection, it's clear he values that competition about as much as a handshake from his old chum Jose Mourinho.
Heading into the match and the bookies have Bayern as clear favourites and best odds of 2/5 to beat Arsenal with Bet365. The Gunners can be backed at odds as long as 7/1, which certainly isn't beyond the realms of possibility considering their recent result and the fact they are unbeaten there in the last two visits. The draw is also available at a tempting 9/2 with a few bookmakers and might be worth a look dependant on the lineups.
Decision time for my football tips, and much as I would love to see one of the British teams do well, I really fear that Arsenal could be in for a bit of a hiding against the Germans. Bayern have had a couple of disappointing results of late and I think Arsene Wenger's men could be on the receiving end of a backlash.
Therefore, for my first Bayern Munich v Arsenal prediction back Bayern Munich to win and over 3.5 goals in the match at 15/8 with Betfred.

Moving over to the goalscoring market and I'm backing Arjen Robben to score the first goal of the match for my first goalscorer tip. The former Chelsea man scored on his return from injury recently and averaged more shots than any other player in his team last season. At an excellent starting price of 9/2 with Ladbrokes, should Robben notch in the first 25 minutes, the bookmaker will double your odds to 9/1.
My second Bayern Munich v Arsenal betting tip is for Arjen Robben to score first; the odds are 9/2 with Ladbrokes.

Finally, for a bit of a longshot in the cards market and Francis Coquelin could be in for a busy evening in the Arsenal midfield against arguably the best team in Europe. I will be amazed if the Frenchman can make it through the game without a yellow card,
My final football betting tip for Bayern Munich v Arsenal in the Champions League is Coquelin to get booked in the match at 11/8 with Sky Bet, and also the first card of the match at 10/1 with the same bookmaker.
