UCL Match Preview : Arsenal vs Bayern Munich

Arsenal come into this tie on the back of an underwhelming run of form have lost four of their last six, with one of their two wins coming at lowly Sutton United in the FA Cup.

Only three teams have ever overturned a four-goal first-leg loss in the Champions League and face an uphill task if they are to secure a spot in the next round of the competition.

Conversely, Bayern are on a fine run of form having failed to win just two of their last 16 competitive fixtures. That being said, they lost their last visit to the Emirates as goals from Olivier Giroud and Mesut Ozil secured a 2-0 win for Arsenal. NaijaBet.com

Bayern romped to a 5-1 win at the Allianz last month and can be expected to pile further misery upon an out-of-form Arsenal side.

Team News

Arsenal – Santi Cazorla and Mohamed Elneny are both ruled out for the welcome of Bayern Munich.

Mesut Ozil missed the 3-1 loss at Liverpool through illness and while is his back in training, will miss out on Tuesday.

David Ospina can be expected to start between the sticks, as has been the custom in the Champions League this season, while Alexis Sanchez could start here having featured from the bench at Liverpool on Saturday.

Bayern Munich – Philipp Lahm is suspended for Bayern Munich, with Rafinha expected to be preferred to Joshua Kimmich at right-back.

Yet Kimmich could come into the side in midfield in place of Arturo Vidal, who may be rested for this.

Renato Sanches, Douglas Costa and Jerome Boateng are all doubts.
