Arsene Wenger makes Bayern Munich v Arsenal prediction for Champions League clash | Football
The Gunners, currently second in the Premier League, are in Munich for the second leg of their quarter-final tie with Bundesliga giants Bayern.
The quarter-final is perfectly poised after the two sides shared an entertaining 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium last week.
Bukayo Saka put Arsenal in front after just 12 minutes but Bayern Munich then led through goals from Serge Gnabry and former Tottenham captain Harry Kane.
Leandro Trossard denied Bayern the victory with a 76th-minute equaliser as Arsenal look to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009.
Bayern have a greater pedigree than Arsenal in Europe – winning their sixth Champions League title in 2020 – but Wenger says his former club can take advantage of the hosts’ inconsistency under Thomas Tuchel.
For the first time since 2011, Bayern Munich have failed to win the Bundesliga this season, with Bayer Leverkusen’s maiden title confirmed over the weekend.
Looking ahead to Wednesday’s clash at the Allianz Arena, Wenger said on beIN SPORTS: ‘Arsenal against Bayern Munich is a 50-50 game.
‘Bayern have recently been vulnerable at home in the Bundesliga, they lost to Dortmund in a very important game so they will not be 100% confident. I still think Arsenal might just glide through against Bayern.’
Asked if that prediction came from his heart or his head, Wenger responded: ‘A bit of both, a combination!’
