The German giants head to face Arsenal after back-to-back defeats in the Bundesliga

Arsenal are enjoying a sensational run of form, exemplified by their commanding 3-0 victory over Brighton and securing a spot in the quarter-finals after defeating Porto. Managed by Mikel Arteta, their young squad is in red-hot form, accumulating an impressive 31 points from their last 11 Premier League outings. Not only have they gained recognition for their potent attacking displays, but Arteta will also be pleased with their defensive resilience, having kept clean sheets in five of their last six matches across all competitions.

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich finds themselves embroiled in a crisis this season. Their recent 3-2 defeat to Heidenheim, coupled with a managerial change looming as Thomas Tuchel prepares to depart, paints a grim picture. The 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund further intensified scrutiny on the team. Bayern’s woes are exacerbated by their struggles on the road, with just one victory in their last six away matches, including a defeat to Bochum.
