This Champions League fixture brings FC Bayern München up against Arsenal in a situation where both have just picked up wins in this competition, so both teams want this game to confirm they are ready for the next round. FC Bayern München have just thrashed their opponents 6-1 in the Bundesliga and are unbeaten in their last five, but there are visible cracks in defence in the draw against their European opponents 3-3, while Arsenal have won three in a row and in this competition have just won 3-0, with only one heavy defeat 0-3 in their last five. The pattern over the last 10 matches shows FC Bayern München with 67.4% possession and 10.1 shots on target per game, while Arsenal have 60.4% possession and 5.3 shots on target per game, but Arsenal concede goals in the 46-60 minute window, accounting for 28% of all goals conceded, which is the period when games tend to open up. The side that has to take the initiative is FC Bayern München, who will push their attack forward, while Arsenal are likely to wait for counter-attacking moments and use the solidity of a defence that has conceded only five goals in the league to help steady their game.
