Arsenal vs. Bayern Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Arsenal?

This finally seems like it could be Arsenal’s year in the Premier League, and they also look very strong in the Champions League, where they have had a perfect start: four wins, 11 goals scored, and none conceded.

Despite various injuries throughout the season, they managed to beat Athletic Bilbao (0–2) and Slavia Praha (0–3) away, and Olympiacos (2–0) and Atlético Madrid (4–0) at home.

They are coming off a 4–1 win over Tottenham in the North London Derby, with a hat-trick from Eberechi Eze, a key signing for this campaign, who is now looking to open his Champions League scoring account.

While Eze has been an excellent addition, the same cannot be said for Viktor Gyökeres. Arsenal paid more than 75 million dollars for the Swedish striker after a brilliant season with Sporting Lisbon, but he has scored only six goals in 14 matches—one of them a penalty and several from close range. He is doubtful for Wednesday’s match.

Alongside Gyökeres, the injury list also includes Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Magalhães, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus. Unlike in past seasons, Mikel Arteta now has a much deeper squad, and Mikel Merino has done an excellent job playing as a false 9 when needed.

The ‘Gunners’ have lost only one match this season—against Liverpool on August 31—while winning 16 and drawing two.

Why Bet on Bayern Munich?

But if one side deserves praise, so does the other. Bayern Munich have once again become that feared German machine and are having a phenomenal start to the season, sweeping aside everyone in their path. Just like their opponent, they have won all four of their matches, scoring 14 goals and conceding three.

Their victims were Chelsea (3–1) and Club Brugge (4–0) at home, and Pafos (1–5) and PSG (1–2) away. That match against the French side was their most recent, and they won thanks to a brace from Luis Díaz before he was sent off at the end of the first half, earning a three-match suspension. Despite playing the entire second half with one man down, they held on without major problems.

In the Bundesliga, they had won every game, and counting other competitions, they had 16 wins in 16 matches, but then drew 2–2 with Union Berlin. This weekend, they returned to winning ways with a 6–2 victory over Freiburg, bringing them to 17 wins in 18 games and remaining unbeaten this season.

Michael Olise is coming off a match with two goals and three assists, forming a magical attacking trio alongside Harry Kane and Díaz. The Englishman has 24 goals and three assists, the Colombian has 11 goals and five assists, and the Frenchman has nine goals and eight assists.

Among Bayern’s injuries are Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies, while Serge Gnabry is doubtful.

Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Bayern

It will be a great match between what are possibly the two best teams in the world right now, with two very defined and highly offensive styles of play. Arsenal’s absences may be more significant, but they have been strong at home, which is why I believe this will end in a draw.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange favor Arsenal with a Moneyline of +125, while Bayern Munich is at +233, and a draw is priced at +270.

They met in last season’s quarterfinals, drawing 2–2 in England before Bayern won 1–0 in Germany. They also faced each other in the 2017 Round of 16, where the Germans advanced with a 10–2 aggregate score.

Bayern are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Arsenal, winning four of them. The last time the ‘Gunners’ won was in the 2015 group stage, 2–0, in a match where Mikel Arteta was on the bench as a player, while Manuel Neuer started for Bayern and Joshua Kimmich came on in the second half.

Go for a draw in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +270, you will gain $270 for a total payout of $370.
