This is the big battle that will decide who is the number 1 candidate for the championship this season. After four rounds, Bayern Munich and Arsenal share the top 2 positions with a perfect record.

Both are perfect

"Perfect" is what fans can think of the current form of Arsenal and Bayern Munich. Besides dominating the domestic league race, the two teams have performed almost flawlessly in the Champions League arena.

Not only did they win all the matches, both Bayern Munich and Arsenal also won by a large margin and easily in the past four rounds. For Bayern Munich, their journey was more impressive when they won against two "big" teams, Chelsea (3-1) and PSG (2-1).

As for Arsenal, their journey was flawless as they successively won against Bilbao, Olympiakos, Atletico Madrid and Slavia Prague without conceding any goals. At the same time, Arsenal's strikers also scored 11 goals against their opponents.

Of course, Arsenal have been somewhat lucky in terms of fixtures, with only one of the four teams they have faced, Atletico Madrid, considered a European giant. But when they faced Arsenal, Atletico Madrid were not at their best.

It was not until this match in round 5 that Arsenal's mettle was truly tested when they faced the "giant" Bayern Munich. In the continental arena, Bayern Munich always dominated Arsenal every time they met.

In the last four clashes in the Champions League, Bayern Munich won 3, drew 1, including 2 big wins.

Arsenal are no longer easy to bully

However, Arsenal is no longer the beautiful and fragile team it was many years ago. Under coach Arteta, the "gunners" have increasingly become a real "tank" with an impenetrable defense and extremely solid ball control.

In comparison, Bayern Munich under current coach Kompany has a more attractive style of play. At the same time, it has more of the characteristics of an attacking team.

Bayern Munich's attack is currently rated higher with the explosive performance of Olise, Kane, Gnabry... But on the other hand, Arsenal's defense is more solid. Bayern Munich's defenders like Upamecano and Tah are not playing consistently and can completely make mistakes in a big match.

The two teams are quite balanced at the moment. Arsenal no longer have any healthy strikers after all three strikers Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gyokeres were injured.

Similarly, captain Odegaard is also unable to return. But in return, Calafiori is completely healthy. Meanwhile, reserve center-back Hincapie seems to have adapted in time to replace the injured Gabriel.

Bayern Munich only have three players missing in this match, including Musiala and Luis Diaz, who are key players. Luis Diaz, in particular, was in top form before being suspended for this match.
