Bayern München are performing flawlessly this season and the team tops the Bundesliga standings by being 20 points ahead of the second Borussia Dormund. Bayern have won 6 of their last 6 games. Furthermore, while playing at home at the Allianz Arena this season, the team conceded only one loss. Arsenal's chances to continue to the next phase of the tournament are very small, but sometimes we witness miracles especially in the Champions League.
For Arsene Wenger, however, there are some good news, which are related to the absence of key players in the squad of the hosts. Franck Ribéry and Holger Badstuber are injured and will not participate in this meeting, while Bastian Schweinsteiger and Jerome Boateng are suspended. For Arsenal with injuries are Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna.
In 9 of the last 11 matches of Arsenal in the Champions League there has been over 2.5 goals and in this encounter similar result is quite likely. Bayern on the other hand, has no loss in the last 5 matches in the most prestigious football tournament. Furthermore, Bayern sustains the trend to decide the matches quite early as in 5 of their last 7 games in the Champions League the team had been winning at half time/full time. Nevertheless, despite all the facts that very eloquently define Bayern as the absolute favorite to progress in the tournament, the Arsenal fans are dreaming of a miracle.
