Bayern Munich vs. Arsenal Preview
The Bundesliga-leading Bayern is on a ten-game unbeaten run in all competitions. They are coming off a 2-0 win on Saturday against FC Ingolstadt. However, it was not an impressive outing for the Bavarians as they needed stoppage time to score the two goals, per Sky Sports.
Arturo Vidal scored the winner in the 90th minute while Arjen Robben added an insurance goal in the 91st minute. The match against Arsenal is a true test for Bayern as they try to win the Champions League for the first time since 2013.
On the other hand, Arsenal finally broke their two-match losing streak on Saturday with a 2-0 win over Hull City. Alexis Sanchez scored twice to give the Reds their first win in three games in the English Premier League.
However, it was without controversy as Sanchez appeared to have scored his first goal in the 34th minute with his hand. The Chilean star added another one from the spot in the 93rd minute to ice the game.
In all-time head-to-head matchups between these two clubs, Bayern has the advantage over Arsenal. They have faced each other ten times with the Bavarians winning five, the Reds only getting three victories and two resulting in draws, per The Standard.
