Bayern Munich vs Arsenal: Champions League Prediction & Wednesday Tips

The second night of Champions League matchday three is on Wednesday 21 October, and the big game is in Munich. Bayern vs Arsenal at the Allianz Arena kicks off at 21:00 CEST. Two early games start at 18:45 CEST: Como vs Manchester United and Lille vs Galatasaray.

Bayern at home in Europe are always dangerous. They attack with lots of players, put plenty of crosses into the box and are clinical in front of goal. Arsenal now have one of the best defences in Europe, and they are very strong from corners and free kicks.

Prediction: Bayern are slight favourites at around 2.30, draw 3.50 and Arsenal 2.95. We expect goals: both teams to score at about 1.60 is our main bet. Arsenal to score from a set piece is a good extra bet if your bookmaker offers it.

Real Madrid at the Bernabéu in the Champions League speaks for itself. Leipzig run hard and play fast, but they often leave space behind them, and Madrid's fast forwards love that.

Prediction: Real Madrid to win and over 2.5 goals at around 2.10.

Como's rise is one of the stories of the season. Playing in front of their own fans by Lake Como against Manchester United is a dream night for the club. United have been inconsistent away from home, which makes this a game to watch for an upset.

Prediction: the draw at around 3.40 has value. Over 2.5 goals at around 1.75 is the safer choice.

Aston Villa have six points and should get a third win against Norway's Viking at Villa Park. Villa -1.5 at around 1.80 looks good. Inter should beat Shakhtar Donetsk at San Siro; Inter to win to nil is around 2.20.
