Bayern Munich

Head-to-Head
- Bayern Munich pipped Arsenal by one goal to nil in the 2023/2024 edition of the UEFA Champions League and the two sides are again level on 12 points after four games at the top of their group, meaning this Arsenal vs FC Bayern Munich prediction will decide which of these two giants takes control of the competition.
- Both Mikel Arteta and Vincent Kompany have been in charge of these clubs for the best part of a year, with the former having been in the Emirates hot seat since December 2019.
- Arteta’s tactical blueprint has remained largely the same over the years, with a flexible 4-3-3 that evolves into a 3-2-5 system in attack that is based on controlled possession, high-pressing and sudden transitions.
- Since taking over at Bayern Munich in May 2024, Kompany has made the Bavarian giants more free-flowing, more fluid and high-tempo, as they press opponents and play positional possession football that can quickly turn into a vertical attack.
Arsenal
Eberechi Eze has been a revelation for the Gunners in recent weeks, scoring four goals in Arsenal’s last five matches to provide the focal point of a more dynamic, fluid system in the centre of the field while maintaining the disciplined pressing of his team.
Bayern Munich
- Harry Kane is the talisman of this Bayern Munich team with five goals in four UEFA Champions League matches, making him a constant threat in the box.
- Michael Olise has been the most creative player of this new-look Bayern Munich side, with five assists in their last five games.
