Arsenal have not beaten Bayern Munich away from home in four attempts since a 2-0 win in Munich in March 2013, and Wednesday's trip to the Allianz Arena is their sternest away test yet in a Champions League campaign that has so far brought two wins and two clean sheets.

Mikel Arteta's side arrive as reigning Premier League champions and last season's Champions League runners-up, sitting second in England on 18 points, but they do so without first-choice centre-back William Saliba, back-up full-back Piero Hincapie and winger Christos Tzolis, and against a Bayern side that has not lost a home league-phase or group match in this competition since December 2013.

Bayern have won three and drawn two of their last five matches in all competitions, scoring 20 goals in that run and conceding seven, the highlight a 6-1 demolition of RB Leipzig last Saturday in which Luis Diaz scored a hat-trick.

That victory came off the back of back-to-back draws, a 2-2 at Augsburg and a 3-3 at Viking in the Champions League, in which Bayern twice let two-goal leads slip before eventually finding a way to take a point.

Vincent Kompany's side sit top of the Bundesliga on 14 points from six games, a goal difference of +17 edging out Borussia Dortmund on the same points tally, and they remain unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League group or league phase since a defeat to Manchester City in December 2013, a run of 37 wins and two draws from 39 home matches.

Harry Kane has been central to that run and arrives in extraordinary form against this particular opponent, with 15 goals in 22 appearances against Arsenal across his career and a run of scoring in nine consecutive Champions League matches, a feat matched in the competition's history only by Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Arsenal's own numbers over the same window are built on defensive solidity rather than goal avalanches, four wins and only one defeat, a 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion that ended their first unbeaten run of the season, with three clean sheets in five games.

They bounced back from that Brighton reverse with three straight wins, including a comfortable 3-0 victory over Lille in their first home Champions League outing, Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze all scoring in the second half.

Saka and Martin Odegaard share the captaincy of Arsenal's scoring charts this season with four goals apiece, while Noni Madueke's 80th-minute winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend made it six wins from Arsenal's last seven Premier League matches, leaving them three points behind leaders Man City.

Fluid on the foot, missed the last two matches, training individually and assessed day to day

Bayern's biggest absence is Olise, their joint-top scorer with nine goals this season and the Champions League's most prolific creator of shots since the start of last term, suspended after being sent off for throwing the ball at an opponent during a spell of persistent needling from the Viking captain.

Kompany is expected to turn instead to Diaz, whose hat-trick against Leipzig on Saturday has made him Bayern's most dangerous outlet in behind the Arsenal defence, with Joshua Kimmich describing him this week as the player most likely to exploit space in behind, more so than Kane or any of Bayern's midfielders.

Neuer remains a doubt with a minor foot problem that has kept him out of the last two matches, training alone rather than with the main group, and Jonas Urbig is the likely starter in goal if the captain is not passed fit on Wednesday.

Chronic lower-back problem aggravated at the World Cup in July, targeting a return in late November or early December
OUT

Ankle injury, targeting a return against Liverpool on 1 November

Arsenal's defensive injury list has barely shifted since the Lille win, with Saliba, Hincapie and Tzolis all still out, though there is better news on Martin Zubimendi, who has recovered fully from an ankle problem and was named in Spain's squad during the last international break.

That depth matters against a Bayern side missing their own creative spark in Olise, and Arteta is expected to keep faith with the back four that has conceded only once across the last four matches, Cristhian Mosquera waiting in reserve at centre-back.

In midfield, Zubimendi's return to full fitness gives Arteta a genuine option in reserve, with Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly the preferred double pivot, while further forward Saka arrives off the back of a goal and an assist in Arsenal's last two Champions League outings.

5 Bayern Munich winsLast 10 meetings3 Arsenal wins

Bayern Munich have won eight of the 15 meetings between the sides across their history, with three draws and four Arsenal wins, though the most recent chapter has swung Arsenal's way.

Arsenal's 3-1 win at the Emirates last November ended a run of five matches unbeaten for Bayern against them, and Kompany's side have not forgotten it, with sporting director Max Eberl saying this week that the club wants to turn those memories into energy on Wednesday.

Home advantage has historically told a different story in Munich specifically, where Bayern have won five of their seven meetings with Arsenal and lost only once, including victories in each of the last three occasions the sides have met at the Allianz Arena.

Our Bayern Munich vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips

Top Tip
Over 2.5 Goals
Odds: 1.67
Bayern have scored at least three goals in three of their last four matches and have netted 20 times in their last five games in all competitions. Arsenal have found the net in nine of their last ten matches, so a repeat of the goals both sides have produced recently would clear this line comfortably.
Value Bet
Both Teams to Score
Odds: 1.64
Bayern have conceded in four of their last five matches despite their attacking reputation, while Arsenal have scored in every away match since the Brighton defeat. Both sides' underlying numbers point toward goals at both ends rather than a shutout.
Longshot
Kane to score two or more goals
Odds: 7.00
Kane has scored 15 goals in 22 career appearances against Arsenal and struck twice in the second half to help Bayern come from behind against Viking earlier this month. With Olise missing and Bayern needing a focal point, Kane is likely to see a heavy share of the service in behind Arsenal's back four.
Free Choice
Bayern Munich to win
Odds: 2.20
Bayern have won all three of their last home meetings with Arsenal in Munich, two of them by four goals or more, and remain unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in this competition since December 2013. Arsenal's missing defenders make that record harder to overturn this time around.

Odds correct as of Monday, 19 October 2026, 15:20 BST.

Score Prediction
Bayern Munich 3-1 Arsenal
Bayern's home record in this competition and Kane's extraordinary scoring run against Arsenal should be enough to see off a side without Saliba, Hincapie and Tzolis, even one that has won six of its last seven matches. Arsenal's attacking players are good enough to get a goal of their own, but Diaz's current form gives Bayern a second outlet beyond Kane that should prove decisive.
  • Bayern Munich scorers: Kane (2), Diaz
  • Arsenal scorer: Saka
  • Bayern unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League group or league phase since December 2013

Arsenal have not beaten Bayern Munich away from home in four attempts since a 2-0 win in Munich in March 2013, and Wednesday’s trip to the Allianz Arena is their sternest away test yet in a Champions League campaign that has so far brought two wins and two clean sheets.

Mikel Arteta’s side arrive as reigning Premier League champions and last season’s Champions League runners-up, sitting second in England on 18 points, but they do so without first-choice centre-back William Saliba, back-up full-back Piero Hincapie and winger Christos Tzolis, and against a Bayern side that has not lost a home league-phase or group match in this competition since December 2013.

Bayern have won three and drawn two of their last five matches in all competitions, scoring 20 goals in that run and conceding seven, the highlight a 6-1 demolition of RB Leipzig last Saturday in which Luis Diaz scored a hat-trick.

That victory came off the back of back-to-back draws, a 2-2 at Augsburg and a 3-3 at Viking in the Champions League, in which Bayern twice let two-goal leads slip before eventually finding a way to take a point.

Vincent Kompany’s side sit top of the Bundesliga on 14 points from six games, a goal difference of +17 edging out Borussia Dortmund on the same points tally, and they remain unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League group or league phase since a defeat to Manchester City in December 2013, a run of 37 wins and two draws from 39 home matches.

Harry Kane has been central to that run and arrives in extraordinary form against this particular opponent, with 15 goals in 22 appearances against Arsenal across his career and a run of scoring in nine consecutive Champions League matches, a feat matched in the competition’s history only by Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Arsenal’s own numbers over the same window are built on defensive solidity rather than goal avalanches, four wins and only one defeat, a 3-0 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion that ended their first unbeaten run of the season, with three clean sheets in five games.

They bounced back from that Brighton reverse with three straight wins, including a comfortable 3-0 victory over Lille in their first home Champions League outing, Jurrien Timber, Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze all scoring in the second half.

Saka and Martin Odegaard share the captaincy of Arsenal’s scoring charts this season with four goals apiece, while Noni Madueke’s 80th-minute winner at Nottingham Forest last weekend made it six wins from Arsenal’s last seven Premier League matches, leaving them three points behind leaders Man City.

Jamal Musiala
Thigh injury sustained during the international break
DOUBT
Manuel Neuer
Fluid on the foot, missed the last two matches, training individually and assessed day to day

Bayern’s biggest absence is Olise, their joint-top scorer with nine goals this season and the Champions League’s most prolific creator of shots since the start of last term, suspended after being sent off for throwing the ball at an opponent during a spell of persistent needling from the Viking captain.

Kompany is expected to turn instead to Diaz, whose hat-trick against Leipzig on Saturday has made him Bayern’s most dangerous outlet in behind the Arsenal defence, with Joshua Kimmich describing him this week as the player most likely to exploit space in behind, more so than Kane or any of Bayern’s midfielders.

Neuer remains a doubt with a minor foot problem that has kept him out of the last two matches, training alone rather than with the main group, and Jonas Urbig is the likely starter in goal if the captain is not passed fit on Wednesday.

Chronic lower-back problem aggravated at the World Cup in July, targeting a return in late November or early December
OUT

Ankle injury, targeting a return against Liverpool on 1 November

Thigh injury, could return against Everton on 24 October or, if rested, by the Liverpool game

Arsenal’s defensive injury list has barely shifted since the Lille win, with Saliba, Hincapie and Tzolis all still out, though there is better news on Martin Zubimendi, who has recovered fully from an ankle problem and was named in Spain’s squad during the last international break.

That depth matters against a Bayern side missing their own creative spark in Olise, and Arteta is expected to keep faith with the back four that has conceded only once across the last four matches, Cristhian Mosquera waiting in reserve at centre-back.

In midfield, Zubimendi’s return to full fitness gives Arteta a genuine option in reserve, with Rice and Myles Lewis-Skelly the preferred double pivot, while further forward Saka arrives off the back of a goal and an assist in Arsenal’s last two Champions League outings.

Bayern Munich have won eight of the 15 meetings between the sides across their history, with three draws and four Arsenal wins, though the most recent chapter has swung Arsenal’s way.

Arsenal’s 3-1 win at the Emirates last November ended a run of five matches unbeaten for Bayern against them, and Kompany’s side have not forgotten it, with sporting director Max Eberl saying this week that the club wants to turn those memories into energy on Wednesday.

Home advantage has historically told a different story in Munich specifically, where Bayern have won five of their seven meetings with Arsenal and lost only once, including victories in each of the last three occasions the sides have met at the Allianz Arena.

Our Bayern Munich vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips

Top Tip
Over 2.5 Goals
Odds: 1.67
Bayern have scored at least three goals in three of their last four matches and have netted 20 times in their last five games in all competitions. Arsenal have found the net in nine of their last ten matches, so a repeat of the goals both sides have produced recently would clear this line comfortably.
Value Bet
Both Teams to Score
Odds: 1.64
Bayern have conceded in four of their last five matches despite their attacking reputation, while Arsenal have scored in every away match since the Brighton defeat. Both sides’ underlying numbers point toward goals at both ends rather than a shutout.
Longshot
Kane to score two or more goals
Odds: 7.00
Kane has scored 15 goals in 22 career appearances against Arsenal and struck twice in the second half to help Bayern come from behind against Viking earlier this month. With Olise missing and Bayern needing a focal point, Kane is likely to see a heavy share of the service in behind Arsenal’s back four.
Free Choice
Bayern Munich to win
Odds: 2.20
Bayern have won all three of their last home meetings with Arsenal in Munich, two of them by four goals or more, and remain unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in this competition since December 2013. Arsenal’s missing defenders make that record harder to overturn this time around.

Odds correct as of Monday, 19 October 2026, 15:20 BST.

Score Prediction
Bayern Munich 3-1 Arsenal
Bayern’s home record in this competition and Kane’s extraordinary scoring run against Arsenal should be enough to see off a side without Saliba, Hincapie and Tzolis, even one that has won six of its last seven matches. Arsenal’s attacking players are good enough to get a goal of their own, but Diaz’s current form gives Bayern a second outlet beyond Kane that should prove decisive.
  • Bayern Munich scorers: Kane (2), Diaz
  • Arsenal scorer: Saka
  • Bayern unbeaten at the Allianz Arena in the Champions League group or league phase since December 2013
