Bayern – Arsenal: bets and bookmaker odds for the match on April 17

The Champions League is once again in the spotlight of the global football community, with an exciting clash between Bayern and Arsenal taking place in the quarter-finals. After the first meeting in London, which ended in a 2-2 draw, the teams will meet again at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The away draw gives Bayern a slight advantage heading into the return leg, but internal difficulties and injuries to key players such as Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman could complicate matters for the German side.

Despite problems in the domestic season, Thomas Tuchel’s team continues to demonstrate resilience at European level. On the other hand, under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal showed aggression and control, especially in the first half of the home match. However, defensive errors robbed them of their advantage, while the second half saw an improved performance thanks to the introduction of Oleksandr Zinchenko and the link-up between Gabi Jesus and Leandro Trossard.

These conditions make the upcoming match interesting for betting: from simple bets on one team to win to more specialized options such as bets on “both teams to score” or “total over 2.5 goals”. Given the unpredictability of the outcome and the potential for revenge on Arsenal’s part, bookmakers are offering attractive odds for both sides without singling out a clear favourite.

“Bavaria”

Bayern return to Munich with a major achievement – a draw at the Emirates Stadium in London – which takes them closer to reaching the semi-finals. This result adds confidence to the team, which, despite the difficult situation in the home Bundesliga, demonstrates its strength on the European stage. Coach Thomas Tuchel has an excellent opportunity to show his management skills in the face of the difficulties of the season.

In London, Bayern managed to minimize the risks of playing the ball from their own half, actively exploiting every opportunity to counterattack thanks to Kane’s skill and accurate passes to his fast attacking partners. Leroy Sane, who was visible in every attacking action, showed his best qualities in quickly playing the ball. Serge Gnabry, who scored a goal, not only showed his worth in attack, but also effectively helped in defense, coping with pressure from Odegaard and Saka.

However, Bayern have suffered difficulties in the form of an injury to Gnabry, who will miss the match against his former club. No sooner had fans recovered from the news than Kingsley Coman was reported to have suffered a serious injury, leaving the wing position vulnerable. Musiala is expected to take his place on the wing, with the experienced Muller taking his usual number ten position. Adding to the concern is the disqualification of Davis, which forces the coaching staff to look for alternatives on the left flank, where Mazraoui is likely to replace Rafa Guerreira, who is experiencing certain difficulties in defense.

Arsenal forecast

The team showed moments of true dominance in the first leg against Bayern, sometimes even outshining their opponents with their performances, but a few defensive woes marred the overall picture. The beginning of the game promised more thanks to the powerful pressure and active actions of Odegaard, who, together with Saliba, created an edge at the opponent’s goal. The attacking duo of Odegaard and Saka caused real chaos in the ranks of the record champion, and Ben White added to the confusion with his advances to the center of the field.

However, serious defensive errors gave Bayern the chance to restore balance and the Gunners found themselves in difficulties towards the end of the first half. But Mikel Arteta managed to adapt his team on the fly, making changes that shifted the balance of power. Zinchenko, who came on as a substitute for Kiver, took control of the middle of the field, becoming the key to regaining control of the game. The fresh pair of Gabi Jesus and Trossard organized the goal necessary to restore the score.

Given the challenges of the first game, Keever may have to miss the second leg and Zinchenko may not be in the starting line-up. Perhaps Arteta will take a more conservative approach, bringing in Tomiyasa to strengthen the defense. Also questionable is the readiness of Odegaard, from whose recovery the team hopes to have time to get the necessary creativity in the middle of the field before the start of the game.

Preliminary composition of teams for the match

Ahead of the upcoming match between Bayern and Arsenal in the Champions League, both teams will field their strongest squads, despite some problems with injuries and suspensions.

Bayern will play with the following lineup:

• Manuel Neuer continues to be a reliable presence in goal.
• In defence, Joshua Kimmich, Eric Dier, Matthijs de Ligt and Rafa Guerreiro will feature, providing a strong backline.
• In the midfield there are Konrad Laimer and Leon Goretzka, as well as Thomas Muller and Jamal Musiala, who will try to create chances in front of the opponent’s goal.
• On the front line, Harry Kane and Mathieu Tell will look for chances to score using their physical strength and technique.

Arsenal is represented by the following players:

• David Raya is in goal, ready to demonstrate his best qualities.
• The defensive line with Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel and Oleksandr Zinchenko creates a reliable barrier in front of their goal.
• Declan Rice, along with Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard and Jorginho, form a midfield that can both hold the ball and initiate attacks.
• The attacking duo of Gabi Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli pose a threat to any defense thanks to their pace and technical skill.

Statistics of previous meetings

Bayern proved to be a strong side in these matches, winning five times. Arsenal came out victorious in three meetings, and three matches ended in a draw. This balance indicates the high competitiveness and unpredictability of the outcome of the upcoming meeting, and is also important for Bayern Arsenal forecast.

Moreover, more than 2.5 goals were scored in 55% of matches, and the score of 3.5 or higher was recorded in 45% of matches, which underscores the high-scoring opposition between these teams.

It is also important to note that 73% of the games ended with both teams scoring, indicating that each side has good attacking potential. However, the rate of clean sheets, or games without conceding goals, leaves much to be desired – just 9% for Bayern and 18% for Arsenal, pointing to possible weaknesses in the teams’ defensive strategies.
