3 reasons why Arsenal will beat Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday

They’ve done it before

It’s not as if Arsenal are going to Bayern trying to win there before for the first time, because they have actually beaten the German giants twice in their last five meetings.

Wenger’s men won 2-0 at the Emirates in last year’s group stage campaign, albeit were thumped 5-1 at the Allianz two weeks later, and they also produced a splendid performance to win 2-0 in Munich back in March 2013, although lost on the away goals rule.

Nonetheless, the Gunners are sure to take confidence from those two victories ahead of Wednesday’s clash, and they’ve also got the added security of having the home leg second this time, as opposed to recent meetings with the German champions.

The last two knock-out clashes between the two has seen Arsenal comfortably lose the first leg at home, and leave themselves too much to do in the second, but on both occasions they have performed well in Germany, winning 2-0 in 2013, and drawing 1-1 in 2014.

They’ve done it before and, given that Bayern have arguably not been as good this season under Carlo Ancelotti as in previous campaigns, the Gunners know that they can go there and get a famous victory.
