Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal is undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in Europe today, but there is always the feeling that they will fail at crucial moments. Precisely, against Bayern is a good litmus test for them. The Gunners have just eliminated Porto in the round of 16. They lost 1-0 in Portugal and won 1-0 at home, so they won 4-2 on penalties.
Although they do not have a natural goal scorer, Arsenal is a team that scores a lot. In the Premier League, it is the team with the most conversions, while in the Champions League group stage, it scored 16 goals in just six matches.
That is because they have one of the best creators in the world in Norwegian Martin Odegaard, and have many players with goals, such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, or Gabriel Martinelli. Jesus has four European goals, while Saka has three more and four assists. They are also a very safe side, demonstrated by the five goals allowed in eight games for the Champions League.
However, they are in a tiring battle for the Premier League against Liverpool and Manchester City. They are occupying first place thanks to their goal difference, so the most minimal slip and all could be over.
Bukayo Saka was in cotton wool, but he will likely be available.
Why Bet on Bayern München?
Bayern München is living one of its worst campaigns in recent times. However, the possibility of winning the Champions League again is on the table. Five games separate them from the ultimate glory. The Bavarians took care of Lazio in the round of 16. In the first leg, the Germans lost 1-0, but at home, they won 3-0 with a brace from England striker Harry Kane and another conversion from Thomas Müller.
It is worth mentioning the case of Kane, who is having a sensational year as an individual with Bayern with 38 goals and ten assists. In that sense, with six goals, he is currently the top scorer in the Champions League. But he will likely finish the season and continue his curse of not being champion since the Bundesliga is already a utopia, the German Cup is no longer a possibility, and only the always-difficult Champions League remains on the way.
A fact to consider is that Bayern has a notorious paternity over Arsenal. The last three matches between the two sides have gone 5-1 to the Teutons. In addition, the English have only won three times in 12 opportunities.
In the Bundesliga, they have two consecutive defeats, one at home in the derby against Borussia Dortmund (0-2) and another, incredibly, with Heidenheim 3-2 after leading 0-2 at halftime.
Among the absentees for Bayern are Kingsley Coman and Leroy Sané. Goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer is a doubt.
