Bayern Munich take on the visitors Arsenal in the second leg of UEFA Champions League quarterfinals. First leg result: 2-2. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 17th at Allianz Arena (Munich).
Bayern Munich sees the Champions League as a kind of last straw. The Southern Star was truly excellent under Flick. But Hansi, who achieved the treble, fell out with the management and left. The bet on Nagelsmann didn't work out, and his replacement a little over a year ago surprised few. But even with strengthening through goalscorer Kane, the record champions lost practically everything they could in the new season. Harry debuted when his new club was convincingly defeated by RB Leipzig in the Super Cup. Then there was another humiliation when Saarbrücken from the third division left the grand club without a chance in the German Cup. By spring, there was no chance of catching up with Bayer in the Bundesliga. Thomas will definitely leave his post. He could have been fired as early as March, but after losing 0-1 in Rome, in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16, they managed to crush Lazio in Munich. In England, they achieved a decent result, 2-2 – but at home, they still need to play for a win.

Arsenal were able to achieve sharp progress last season. The London grand, which hadn't made it to the top 4 since Wenger's time, fought with Manchester City for the title a year ago, eventually finishing in second place. It was important to demonstrate that this wasn't just some one-off leap, but a full-fledged move to a new level. And it's no coincidence that Mikel Arteta received such powerful reinforcements last summer, such as the acquisition of Rice and Havertz. The Red and Whites managed to reach the middle of spring on par with recent champions, Manchester City and Liverpool. Moreover, the Red and Whites finally returned to the Champions League. There, although they stumbled again with Lance, the English won the group. But with the experienced Porto, they had to work hard: lost away, only managed a 1-0 win at home, and knocked out the Dragons in a penalty shootout. At home against the Germans, they opened and closed the score, but ended up only with a 2-2 draw.
The Gunners occasionally beat The Southern Star. But the Germans consistently knocked out the English in the playoffs. Including in 2017, when they won 5-1 in each of the matches. At home, the record champions are considered favorites, albeit not obvious ones. But the visitors will definitely put up a fight – let's bet that there will be over 2.5 goals in this match.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
