Bayern Munich vs Arsenal prediction
Bayern Munich claimed what could prove to be a vital three points on Matchday 2 when Lea Schuller's 95th-minute goal earned a 2-1 victory over Juventus.
The German side, who suffered a bruising 7-1 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their league phase opener, have won their last six games in all competitions and have scored 19 goals in their four Frauen-Bundesliga encounters since Matchday 2.
It's not been plain sailing for UEFA Women's Champions League holders Arsenal this season, either domestically or in Europe. Renee Slegers' side were not entirely convincing in their 0-2 win away at Benfica on Matchday 2, which followed their 1-2 defeat at home to OL Lyonnes in their first league phase fixture.
Currently fourth in the Women's Super League, they drew 1-1 with rivals Chelsea on Saturday, and it would not be a surprise to see them concede here against a Bayern outfit who have some quality attacking players. Both teams found the net in their two meetings in last season's competition, and we're backing a repeat outcome in Munich.
