William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League clash between Bayern Munich and Arsenal.

Bayern Munich v Arsenal promises to be one of Wednesday’s standout Champions League fixtures, with both sides arriving in excellent form.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some UEFA Champions League odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixture:

Bayern Munich returned to the Bundesliga summit with an emphatic 6-1 victory over RB Leipzig at the weekend. That result ended a run of two consecutive draws and extended their unbeaten start to the season to ten matches. The German champions will now look to carry that momentum into Wednesday’s European encounter.
Bayern’s Champions League home record makes for impressive reading ahead of Arsenal’s visit. The Bavarians are unbeaten in their last 39 group stage or league phase matches on home soil (W37, D2). Their last defeat at this stage came against English opposition, losing 3-2 to Manchester City in December 2013.
Bayern Munich v Arsenal has been a familiar Champions League fixture over the years, with the German side enjoying the better record. Bayern have won eight of their previous 15 meetings in this competition (D3, L4). They can be backed at 21/20 with William Hill to get the better of the Gunners once again.

Arsenal have responded brilliantly to last month’s disappointing 3-0 defeat away at Brighton, recording three consecutive victories across all competitions. That includes a comfortable 3-0 Champions League success over Lille last week. However, the Gunners were made to work for Sunday’s narrow 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest.
Last season’s Champions League finalists will be determined to go one step further this time around. However, their recent record on German soil suggests Wednesday’s encounter could prove difficult. Arsenal have won just one of their last eight European away matches against German opposition (D2, L5).
Despite that record, Arsenal’s recent Champions League form provides plenty of encouragement ahead of their trip to Munich. The Gunners have won their last 14 league phase matches, including seven victories away from home. Mikel Arteta’s side can be backed at 21/10 with William Hill to claim a statement victory in Germany.
