Bayern Munich vs Arsenal UCL prediction: Match preview, team news, current form & h2h

Bayern Munich are all set to host Arsenal on Wednesday in the standout fixture of round three in the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League campaign.

The German powerhouse brings a 15-game unbeaten streak into this contest and are fresh off a 6-1 demolition of RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.

In Europe, they dropped points in a six-goal thriller against underdogs Viking, with the 3-3 result seeing them drop into 10th place.

The English Premier League champions are currently in seventh and are seeking a third consecutive Champions League victory here.

Arsenal are yet to concede in the Champions League after a 1-0 win against Napoli in round one, before a 3-0 victory at home to Lille.

Vincent Kompany’s side began their European campaign with a commanding 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt before the dramatic Viking stalemate.

Despite showing off their brilliant attacking capabilities in recent matches, Bayern have been poor defensively and need to be wary against Arsenal.

The Germans are also due revenge after being humbled in a 3-1 defeat the last time these sides met in the competition last season.

Mikel Arteta’s side still has never won the coveted title, coming closer than ever last season – losing to eventual winners PSG on penalties.

Here is our predicted outcome for the match.

Michael Olise is suspended following his dismissal against Viking, while Jamal Musiala remains sidelined with a thigh injury.

This is a big blow for the hosts who may have to do without the services of Kim Min Jae, after a minor injury at the weekend.

Lennart Karl is the most likely option to come into the attacking formula, with Luis Diaz a key figure as well. The Colombian is fresh off scoring a hattrick against Leipzig.

Harry Kane scored twice in the round two against Viking and he will continue to lead the attacking line.

For the Gunners, Christos Tzolis joined Piero Hincapie and William Saliba on the injury list and they have no new concerns ahead of this match.

Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres have come off the bench in the last two games and are both expected to start here.

Myles Lewis-Skelly is expected to start in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odeegard.

The home team have historically enjoyed the better record in this fixture, with statistics listing eight Bayern victories, three draws and four Arsenal wins, with Bayern scoring 31 goals against Arsenal’s 18.

However, the Gunners have been more successful in the recent matches, winning three of the last five matches.
