Arsenal take on the visitors Bayern Munich in the first leg of Champions League quarterfinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 9th at Emirates Stadium (London).
"Arsenal" demonstrates that it has reached a consistently high level. The "Gunners" played with extremely modest results for a nominal giant for a very long time. However, the trust in Arteta eventually paid off last season. Yes, Zinchenko and company didn't retain the Premier League title, but they finished second – a feat they hadn't achieved even in the top four before. It was crucial to see if they could establish themselves at this new level, and it seems they are succeeding: currently, at home, the "Red and Whites" have already achieved the expected result, competing with the likes of Liverpool and even Manchester City, with whom they recently ended in a goalless draw. Concurrently, the English side made a solid return to the Champions League. In 2023, they easily won their group without major issues. However, in February, they lost the first leg of the round of 16 against "Porto," only managing a minimal victory at home. Fortunately, they eventually defeated the "Dragons" in a penalty shootout.

"Bayern Munich" retains the last hope to salvage the season. Under Flick, the "Southern Star" achieved a treble. However, afterward, the management managed to fall out with Hansi. Interestingly, things got worse for both sides afterward. The coach embarrassed himself with the national team. In Munich, they quickly parted ways with his successor, Nagelsmann, a year ago, who wasn't even allowed to finish his second season despite the record-breaking compensation paid by RB Leipzig. However, Tuchel was lucky enough to secure at least the "silver salad bowl" – but only due to a slip-up in the final round of last season's Bundesliga by the leader at that time, "Borussia." Interestingly, recently, the team from Dortmund finally won "Der Klassiker" once again, confirming the weakness of the current "record holders." In addition to the failure in the national championship, the "Southern Star" disgracefully exited both the Super Cup and the Cup. Moreover, the Champions League playoffs began with a defeat to "Lazio" with no goals scored. Fortunately, they managed to respond with a home thrashing of the Italians. This led to Thomas' resignation, but for how long?
The Germans were the ones who consistently eliminated the "Gunners" from the Champions League playoffs. Even sometimes losing, the "Southern Star" ultimately proved stronger. In 2017, there were two victories for the German champions with an identical score of 5-1. It's time for Arteta and the "Gunners" to get revenge on their old rival. We recommend betting that Zinchenko and company will manage to win.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
