Bayern vs Arsenal Prediction 17 April 2024

Bayern and Arsenal will play for a spot in the Champions League semi-finals. After the first match, neither side has an advantage. The Londoners were considered clear favorites at home, but did not live up to expectations. Meanwhile, Bayern will throw everything into the Champions League, as they will have to do without the Bundesliga championship this year. In such a situation, there is no clear favorite, so our prediction will help pick the optimal odds for this confrontation.

Bayern officially lost their chances for the Bundesliga championship last weekend. This is a blow to the club's image, which takes first place year after year. The team has many problems in defense. For example, it went to London after losing to Heidenheim with a score of 2:3. From Arsenal, Bayern expectedly conceded, but showed a good game and deservedly achieved a draw. Moreover, Gnabry and Kane scored in the first half, both of whom have a past with the "Gunners".

Arsenal is having a strong season and is rightfully fighting for the championship in the English Premier League. But in the Champions League, the team performs significantly weaker. For example, it barely made it through to the ⅛ finals against Porto, achieving success only in a penalty shootout. The draw with Bayern was also not in Arsenal's plans. Nevertheless, they had to come from behind. Not for the first time, Trossard became the lifesaver, who came on as a substitute and scored a goal after 10 minutes. And last weekend, the team lost to Aston Villa, conceding twice again, which greatly affected their championship prospects.

Probable lineups:

Bayern: Neuer, Guerreiro, Dier, de Ligt, Kimmich, Laimer, Goretzka, Musiala, Müller, Sané, Kane.

Arsenal: Raya, Tomiyasu, Gabriel, Saliba, White, Rice, Jorginho, Odegaard, Martinelli, Havertz, Saka.
