Arsenal and Bayern Munich meet at the Emirates Stadium in London on Tuesday for the opening leg of their Champions League quarterfinal, and we have our Arsenal-Bayern prediction and expert prop pick based on the best Champions League odds.

Arsenal and Bayern Munich are trending in opposite directions as they prepare for their pivotal Champions League quarterfinals matchup on Tuesday. 

The German champions are about to relinquish the Bundesliga title for the first time in 11 seasons and have been grappling with uncharacteristic listless play in domestically, including a surprising 3-2 loss to 10th-place Heidenheim. The Bavarian side has only four wins in its last eight matches across all competitions. The situation isn't helped by the impending departure of coach Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season.

On the flip side, Arsenal is enjoying a sensational run, particularly at the Emirates where they've been unstoppable, winning all four of their Champions League home fixtures, scoring an impressive 13 goals without conceding. Their resilience was displayed with a crucial 1-0 victory over FC Porto in the Round of 16 second leg, securing advancement via penalties after a 1-0 loss in Porto in the first leg. Arsenal's last home defeat was on December 31, 2023, against Fulham in EPL action.

Along with our Real Madrid vs. Man City prediction, here is our best Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich prediction and soccer picks (odds via our best soccer betting sites; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich prediction

Arsenal Over 5.5 corners ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Best odds: +100 via bet365

Set for its first Champions League quarterfinal since 2009-10, Arsenal will be bouncing with verve and gusto. And so will the Arsenal faithful as they pack the almost 61,000-seat Emirates Stadium. The raucous environment, coupled with the absence of Bayern Munich supporters, who were banned after throwing flares onto the pitch in Rome during the Round of 16 first leg, should facilitate constant Arsenal pressure.

Expect that unrelenting pressure to lead to at least six corners. The Gunners had nine corners in 120 minutes against FC Porto but failed to hit the Over in their previous three home Champions League matches. While in a somewhat ominous stretch of three Unders, Arsenal's irrepressible enthusiasm should pin Bayern deep for extended periods. In the last seven home Premier League contests, Arsenal has averaged 7.8 corners per contest.

In addition, the visitors have been poor in enemy environments recently, losing 1-0 in both of their previous away Champions League fixtures.

At +100, a winning $10 bet will pay out $20. The +100 odds come with a 50% implied probability. The same bet at DraftKings, with -105 odds, will pay out $19.52, accompanying a 51.22% probability.
