Arsenal take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the round 5 match of UEFA Champions League – League Phase. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 26th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal have returned to full elite status under Arteta, yet in terms of silverware the club has so far been limited to a couple of domestic cups, and those were won quite a while ago. They finished runners-up both behind Manchester City and, last season, behind Liverpool, but expectations for Mikel now demand a title. At the moment they are leading the Premier League, though in November they allowed City to close the gap. Recent league form shows that Arsenal can handle pressure, even if some performances were not entirely convincing. Their consistency in grinding out results has kept them at the top despite occasional dips in intensity. In the Champions League they have confidently won all previous matches, securing qualification long before the final rounds, allowing them to rotate and conserve energy. This comfortable position has also allowed them to manage the workload more strategically, easing the strain of competing on multiple fronts.

Bayern Munich went unbeaten until November. The Bavarians produced a solid enough campaign last season under their new manager, Vincent Kompany, to call 2024/2025 a success — especially in contrast to the trophyless year before. However, they still had to settle for only the Bundesliga title. Kane has added the German Supercup to his honours list, and Bayern kept winning across competitions — one victory after another. Their impressive run was unexpectedly halted by underdogs Union Berlin, who forced a draw in the capital thanks to a late equaliser from the favourites. Before that slip, Bayern had also maintained a perfect Champions League record, including a 2–1 win over PSG. Their recent matches show a team that remains extremely difficult to break down, even if they occasionally lack the sharpness they displayed in early autumn. Still, the overall trajectory suggests they enter big matches with confidence and momentum.
In their last five Champions League meetings, the Gunners lost four times and drew once. Arsenal are given the advantage, but the visitors are in excellent form — we back over 2.5 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
