With the current Arsenal form and Bayern Munich form, Arsenal should be able to win Bayern Munich both home and away, but I don't know why it will be difficult for Arsenal to achieve such result. Bayern Munich are currently weak compared to other past seasons, which should be an advantage on Arsenal that is super hot to win them.

However, Arsenal can disappoint their fans and mess their opportunity of qualifying to the semifinals by allowing unstable Bayern Munich to drag victory with them. I don't see anything that Bayern Munich is playing anymore, after the lost 3-2 to an average club that they were leading 2-0 in the first half. Arsenal need to use their opportunity wisely.

Haaland hasn’t been scoring many goals this season compared to last season, but I can still tell you that Haaland is a dangerous player, which we shouldn’t underestimate in any match. What I noticed is that Haaland is not always given much opportunity by the opposite teams, sometimes you will see two or more players attacking Haaland alone. How do you expect him to perform well in most matches? But I will tell you that Haaland is still a dangerous player, and Real Madrid’s defenders shouldn’t underestimate Haaland in the match.

I mean Real managed to beat City before as well, and last year City managed to beat Madrid, they are both good teams and could beat each other, so it doesn't feel like that would be such a big bore, I think that seems to be the case, I feel like that seems like the most important part. I feel like the best thing about the current situation is that you could possibly make it work one way or another and should not be afraid of just going for the win.

Any team that plays too defensive against the other, would be only calling for a loss, so both teams should play as attacking as possible without fear. City could play a little bit more defensive and I fear that they could lose because of that, possession is great and all, but they need to score.

That's right, this year's season has changed. Bayern Munich is no longer a team that makes other opponents afraid. They are the ones who have to be afraid of the current Arsenal. In the past, Arsenal was Bayern Munich's favorite prey in the Champions League. Bayern Munich often had good results every time they met the Gunners. However, everything changed at this reunion.

With poor domestic league performance, Bayern Munich will almost lose the 2023/24 Bundesliga season to Leverkusen because the gap between the two teams has reached 16 points. Bayern should be cautious when facing Arsenal. Coach Mikel Arteta and his team have had impressive performances recently, and they are the best attackers and defenses in the Premier League. Therefore, it would not be surprising if Arsenal extended their impressive streak with a victory over Bayern.

Arsenal has a real shot here against Bayern Munich. This ain't your typical matchup, and history doesn't mean a damn thing in a game like this. Arsenal is a different animal right now. They're hungry, pushing for that Premier League title, and that kind of drive carries over to nights like this. Bayern, on the other hand... they look off. They're not the same team that's been crushing the Champions League for years. This is a chance for Arsenal, plain and simple

I'm not saying it's gonna be easy. Bayern's still Bayern, and they've got world-class players who can turn on the magic at any moment. But Arsenal needs to focus on what they do well: control the midfield, play fast, capitalize on Munich's shaky defense. If they stay disciplined, take their chances, and believe in themselves... they can flip the script. It's about time they showed Europe what they're really made of

Of course Arsenal must be able to take advantage of the status as a host in the 1st leg. At the moment, the statistics of the two teams are not much different, they are equally strong. I think there will be a difficult game. Even if you remember in the last 16 of UCL in 2016/2017 Arsenal lost by a margin of 4 goals at home or in Germany. After that, it seems that they haven't competed for a long time. Arsenal are in good condition, they still continue to compete as potential EPL champions. As for Munich, it seems they have been focused on the UCL cup. So they will work hard to win in the 1st or 2nd leg. They have the provisions to do that.

Tough is understatement because both teams have history and they're both keen on facing each other. I think the weaknesses of Bayern Munich is pointed out in the open and Arsenal are formidable this season, Mikel Arteta have watch and observed the strength and weaknesses of the Bavarians while he looks forward to tackle down the Bundesliga giant while Thomas Tuchel already have experience when it comes to English teams, he just known how to deal with them but he should remember that alot have changed, Arsenal is not the same way he feels it is.

The UCL heavyweights are about meeting in less than a week and now we’ve got to analyze best who’ll be able to get maximum victories in this match. Manchester City have sincerely dropped on performance level as they’ve failed some rigorous tests in the league and most recent being the draw against Arsenal. You can see how the team struggled to try and get a goal past Arsenal but it was all to no avail.

 ⁠In the match against Real Madrid, yes we know how better shaped and placed Real Madrid are for this fixture and as such I term them as the favorites. Yes Real Madrid have what it takes this time to be able to defeat this City side. It’s very simple try to mark out Foden and get some players to alway hit dirty on Rodri and I think this City side will be feeble and weak.

 Yes, you can say Arsenal looking better as compared to last season which means Real too will sure look better because City didn’t make much changes and also their recent injury woes on their defense line will be a big and major worry for the players when they come for this fixture. Pep will have to get the right tactics quickly before this match else he’ll sure be eliminated from this competition.

 ⁠Carlo Ancelotti too has a vast of experience in the UCL and I know he wouldn’t want a repetition of last season’s errors and as such I trust him not to try out some crazy tactics but rather get the best tactics to nail this match already. I have high hopes on Real Madrid being able to cruise past this City side and it’s sure going to happen.

Sure, but bookies are quite often wrong in setting up the odds, as they rely on the algorithms too much. Personally, I think the latest few games are the best indicators of teams' performances. There's a lot of truth in the saying: "You're only as good as your last performance" after all.
So going back to the odds, let's compare the last 10 games of Atletico and Dortmund (all competitions):
Atletico: 4 wins, 5 losses, 1 draw (4 home games, 6 away games)
Dortmund: 6 wins, 1 loss, 3 draws (4 home games, 6 away games)

So even know the Spanish league is considered to be stronger than the German one, I think the x4.70 odds for Dortmund to win in Madrid are pretty attractive and I'm considering betting a modest amount on them, but could be worth waiting to see how they will do against Stuttgart later today.

This Arsenal vs Munich game is  going to be a very tough game to watch,the gunners really want to break that jinx of not getting to anywhere in the UEFA champions league.They believe in themselves now,and since defeating FC Porto,they have been one of the teams favourite for this tittle with their solidity and strong defence set-up.Bayern will really struggle to get a goal at the Emirates stadium in the first leg of the encounter,and thus, I make my predictions,Arsenal 3,Bayern 1.

Bayern Munich's performance has been very poor this season in the league, but can we guarantee that Bayern Munich will also experience the same thing in the Champions League?
I don't think so, because I think the Champions League and the Bundesliga certainly have a different atmosphere so in the end Bayern Munich will have greater motivation than them playing in a league that is already impossible for them to win at the moment, so of course they will no longer focus on the Bundesliga as the main target because indeed their position is at least safer in the top 4 at this time.

The poor performance of Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and also their hopes in the league that have disappeared, it is certain that Bayern Munich will focus all their abilities to face Arsenal in the Champions League later, that's when Arsenal should be wary of the rise of Bayern Munich which will no longer be burdened with their current domestic competition, I think in addition to the mentality possessed by Bayern Munich in the match later, of course their experience in the Champions League during the This of course will be a differentiator and also perhaps an advantage for Munich.
I personally will probably make a draw as the final result of the first leg match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich.

After Bayern lost at home to Dortmund last week, I've already said that I think Arsenal can beat the currently weak Bayern Munich but after Bayern lost a 0-2 lead today I'm pretty sure they won't survive this round against Arsenal. Bayern only has its name but every other characteristic of the team from the last few years is missing.

Or what does the international community think about their performance?

Of course Arsenal must be able to take advantage of the status as a host in the 1st leg. At the moment, the statistics of the two teams are not much different, they are equally strong.

I would like to call Arsenal a win or draw the result in the first leg. The worst scenario is Arsenal to lose at home game.
