Arsenal will face Bayern Munich at 3am on November 27 in the 5th match of the 2025-2026 Champions League qualifying round.

This is considered the "early final" of the first round when both teams are on a perfect winning streak (12 points after 4 matches). However, despite having home field advantage, coach Mikel Arteta and his team are facing the risk of their unbeaten streak being broken.

Arsenal entered this big match in high spirits after crushing arch-rivals Tottenham 4-1 in the North London derby last weekend. New signing Eberechi Eze had a brilliant performance with a hat-trick. Thereby helping the "gunners" consolidate their top position in the Premier League with a 6-point gap over the chasing pack.

In the Champions League, Arsenal are also maintaining a perfect record with 4 wins, scoring 11 goals and not conceding any.

However, these beautiful statistics can hardly cover up the personnel gaps when facing the "gray tiger" Germany.

The Emirates Stadium team's injury list is very long. The absence of Gabriel Magalhaes and Gabriel Jesus is a serious loss.

In addition, conductor Martin Odegaard and striker Viktor Gyokeres are unlikely to recover yet, while Kai Havertz has suffered a knee injury.

On the other side of the front line, Bayern Munich under the guidance of coach Vincent Kompany is showing destructive power. Last weekend, despite being behind 0-2, they still came back to defeat Freiburg with an unbelievable score of 6-2. In which, Michael Olise had a hand in 5 goals.

In the Champions League, Bayern are leading the rankings thanks to an outstanding goal difference (14 goals scored, 3 conceded). Although they will be without Luis Diaz (suspended), Jamal Musiala and Alphonso Davies (injured), the depth of the German representative's squad is still very formidable.

The history of confrontation is completely in favor of Bayern Munich. In the last 5 encounters in the Champions League, the "gray tigers" won 4 and only drew 1. Even more frightening, they often create "goal storms" against the English representative.

However, bookmakers are more inclined towards Arsenal when giving Bayern Munich a handicap of 0.5 goals (first half is 0.25 goals). Meanwhile, the over/under of the match is 2.75 goals (1.25 goals in the first 45 minutes).

Experts say that although Arsenal are in good form, Bayern still have more experience and courage in the continental arena. With the home team's patchwork defense, the German team's top strikers are expected to fully exploit any mistakes.

The match promises to be open and high-scoring, but the final joy will likely belong to the away team.

Expected lineup:

Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori; Eze, Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Merino, Trossard.

Bayern Munich: Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Guerreiro; Pavlovic, Kimmich; Olise, Karl, Gnabry; Kane.

Prediction : Arsenal 1-3 Bayern Munich.
