Arsenal vs Bayern Munich prediction, H2H and probable lineups, 26 November 2025

It’s another massive European night at the Emirates as Arsenal take on Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Both sides are chasing qualification, but they’re coming into this one with different vibes. Arsenal will want to make a statement at home, while Bayern always seem to turn into a different beast in this competition. Expect goals, drama and a crazy atmosphere.


Form Guide

Arsenal:
The Gunners are having a solid spell recently, especially in the Premier League. They’ve tightened up defensively and the attack is clicking again with Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus. Results have been consistent, even though they’ve had a few scrappy wins.

Bayern Munich:
Bayern are still Bayern – they score a ton and control games for fun. Harry Kane is in ridiculous form and Jamal Musiala has been unreal. The only issue for them has been the odd shaky defensive performance, but their firepower usually covers it.


Head-to-Head

Historically, this fixture has had some legendary games. Bayern usually come out on top over the years, especially in Europe. Arsenal have struggled against them in previous Champions League meetings, but this version of Arsenal is much more confident. Last time these two met, it was packed with goals, so another open game feels likely.


Team News

Arsenal:
Mikel Arteta gets a relatively strong squad. Saka, Ødegaard, Rice and Jesus should all start. The only concern is rotation and fitness as Arsenal have been playing a lot of games lately.

Bayern Munich:
Bayern are also close to full strength. Harry Kane leads the line with Leroy Sané and Musiala supporting. Joshua Kimmich in midfield is key for Bayern’s possession game. Thomas Tuchel has plenty of options from the bench too.


Players to Watch

  • Harry Kane – Always scores in the big matches.

  • Bukayo Saka – Arsenal’s go-to guy in big European nights.

  • Jamal Musiala – Can turn a game on his own.

  • Declan Rice – Controls the midfield battle.

Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Rice, Ødegaard, Havertz; Saka, Martinelli, Jesus
