The quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League are upon us as the remaining eight clubs attempt to make a push for the latter stages of the competition. While there are certainly a few favourites that stand out, every single team left in the running will fancy their chances. Today, we’ll be taking a look at this week’s first leg clash between Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
Bayern Munich Form GuideBayern Munich are set to lose control of the Bundesliga and, in addition to that, there’s a great deal of uncertainty surrounding their management structure as we look ahead to the summer. In any other season, they’d be viewed as one of the favourites to go all the way. This time around, though, some would suggest they’re big underdogs, and even that may be an understatement.
The best European games are the ones that swing in a million and one different directions - and that’s what happened at the Emirates in the first leg between these sides. Arsenal stood toe to toe with Bayern and in the end, they shared four goals between them, with the result being a 2-2 draw.
Arsenal Form GuideArsenal Football Club are back in the big time and up to this point, they’ve done a pretty good job of proving that they belong. Mikel Arteta has worked incredibly hard to get them back to this level and even though they still have a long way to go, it’s exciting to consider what the future could hold. Who knows, maybe this is just the latest chapter in something very special.

Match PredictionWe expect there to be a lot of nervous energy in the air at the Allianz between two clubs who, in many ways, will see the UCL as their last chance to make something positive of the season. In terms of a prediction, we’re going to go for under 2.5 goals scored in a pretty scrappy affair.
