Bayern Munich VS Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
The heavy caliber match between FC Bayern Munich and Arsenal FC from Stage 3 of the UEFA Champions League phase will play Wednesday, October 21, 2026, at 20:00, at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Confronted the confrontation being led by Italian referee Davide Massa, both teams are looking to consolidate their positions in the European elite in this new format.
Bayern Munich:
FC Bayern Munich comes after an incredible result in domestic competition, demolishing RB Leipzig with a categorical 6-1 in the Bundesliga. Still, in Europe they have to fix a misstep made last round, when they drew spectacularly, 3-3, away with Viking. The Bavarians also hope to take their rematch to the “gunners” after last season’s 3-1 defeat of the same competition. The hosts are suffering a huge loss in attack, where the talented Jamal Musiala is unavailable due to a recent muscle tear. Also the extreme Michael Olies is suspended for this match after the red card received with Viking. The good news could come from the gate, the captain Manuel Neuer partially returning to training, although his presence will be decided following the latest physical tests. The attack will be led by Harry Kane, backed by new star Luis Díaz, who scored a hat-trick over the weekend.
Bayern Munich (4-2-3-1): Neuer (or Urbig) — Stanišić, Upamecano, Tah, Kimmich — Pavlović, Laimer — Gnabry, Karl, Luis Díaz – Kane.
Arsenal:
Arsenal FC enjoy a perfect run this season of Champions League, having a maximum of points (6) and no goals conceded in the first two rounds (1-0 with Napoli and 3-0 with Lille). In the Premier League, Mikel Arteta’s team comes after a tight win, 1-0 away with Nottingham Forest, keeping close to leader Manchester City. The only long-term important absence of the Londoners remains the defender William Sabia. Other players with recent problems, such as Piero Hincapié and Kepa Arrizabalaga, have returned to training, giving Arteta more tactical options. Arsenal will rely on the base core of Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Declan Rice to dominate the midfield.
Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya — Timber, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori — Ødegaard, Lewis-Skelly, Rice — Saka, Havertz, Madeduee.
