Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Prediction - UEFA Champions League Picks 4/17/24

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Bayern Munich and Arsenal. 

Bayern Munich in Good Position

Bayern Munich is in a good position to advance after scoring two goals on the road in the first leg. They know if they play to a draw unless it’s a 3-3 or 4-4 type of game, they will be advancing. On April 9th when they faced off against Arsenal, they scored two goals in the first 32 minutes, including a goal by Harry Kane in the 32nd minute from the penalty spot. Bayern Munich actually finished with only two shots on target, but they were still able to put themselves in a good position. On Saturday, they faced off against Koln, and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Alphonso Davies is suspended, and he’s not going to be able to go in this game. 

Arsenal Need Better Defense

Arsenal knows they have their backs against the wall now, and if they want to find success here, they are going to need the defense to be better. Bukayo Saka scored in the 12th minute and Leonardo Trossard scored in the 76th minute to tie up the game. Bayern Munich had 60 percent of the possession and four shots on target. Over the weekend against Aston Villa, Arsenal failed to score any goals, and they ended up losing 2-0. Takehiro Tomiyasu could move off the bench and into the starting lineup for this game. 

Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Betting Prediction

Arsenal can’t have any sort of confidence heading into this game, and their offense looked awful over the weekend against Aston Villa. Bayern Munich knows a draw is all they really need, and they are going to take a defensive shape here. Bayern Munich might not score three or four times, but they are going to score at least once. This game is going to be a lower scoring game and the under is going to cash.
