"As well being a meeting of two of the three teams yet to drop points in the current Champions League season - Inter Milan being the other - Wednesday night also pits the best defence against the best attack. Arsenal are the only team yet to concede in the competition, which Bayern will obviously be looking to change with their top attack (14 goals in four matches, same as PSG)."
"Even though the Bavarians have scored at least once in each of their last 11 Champions League outings (2.5 goals per game on average), that certainly won't be an easy task in North London. Not only have the Premier League leaders won their last 15 home games in the group/league phase of Europe's premier club competition, but have also kept a clean sheet in 12 of them."
"Bayern have tended to get the better of Arsenal in recent meetings between the teams, winning four of the last five and drawing the other - most recently in the 2023/24 quarter-finals, when FCB advanced to the next round through a 1-0 win at home following a 2-2 draw in London. The last of only three defeats in 14 encounters with the Gunners (W8, D3) came in the group stage of the 2015/16 competition (2-0 away)."
Bayern travel to Arsenal aiming to defend top spot after a recent 2-1 win against Paris Saint-Germain. The match pairs Arsenal's unmatched defence, still yet to concede, against Bayern's leading attack, which has 14 goals in four matches. Bayern have scored in each of their last 11 Champions League games, averaging 2.5 goals per match. Arsenal have won their last 15 home group-stage Champions League games and kept clean sheets in 12 of them, making scoring in North London difficult. Bayern have won four of the last five meetings with Arsenal, and Arsenal have struggled against German teams.
