Arsenal have not progressed past the round of 16 in the Champions League since the 2009/10 campaign and have been knocked out at this stage by Bayern Munich twice since then.

The Gunners come into this match out of form having struggled to overcome Hull at the weekend having previously lost each of their last two before that.

Bayern have won each of their last 15 home matches in the Champions League, while Arsenal have lost three of their last seven away matches in the competition. The German giants may not be as intimidating with Carlo Ancelotti at the helm but they are still favourites to win this tie.

The Bavarians won 5-1 the last time these two sides met and while the scoreline isn’t expected to be so dominant this time around, Arsenal may still leave themselves too much to do when they return to London in the return leg. Predict on NaijaBet.com
