Arsenal will hope to make the most of the conditions on offer and not allow their hosts to get ahead of the game right from the start. Bayern too need to be circumspect.
Key Highlights
The first leg of this encounter was played out as a 2-2 draw at the Emirates in London. Bayern will have an upperhand over their opponents in this game given that they know these conditions extremely well. Their defenders have to be wary of the threat posed by the wingers of the visitors and not allow them too much of time on the ball.
Injury Report
Bayern will have to make do without the services of Serge Gnabry and Kingsley Coman, among others, for this game whereas for Arsenal, only Jurrien Timber looks likely to miss out.
Prediction
Despite Arsenal's sizzling form in the Premier League, Bayern have an advantage over them in this game. We expect them to win this game by quite a comfortable margin in the end. Arsenal's attackers have not quite been tested against such top-quality defenders in the past, and it remains to be seen how well they fare at the end of the evening.
