Bayern Munich vs Arsenal Preview: Two Unbeaten Sides Meet at the Allianz Arena
Bayern Munich host Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday, October 21 (19:00 UTC) in one of the headline games of Matchday 3. Both sides are still unbeaten in the 2026/27 league phase, but they arrive in very different shapes.
Bayern: Goals at One End, Cracks at the Other
Bayern opened with a 5-0 win over Bodø/Glimt, then travelled to Viking and drew 3-3. Eight goals in two games and four points from a possible six, but conceding three to a side outside the favourites will have been noticed in Munich.
Arsenal: Six Points, No Goals Conceded
Arsenal have the cleaner record. A 1-0 win at Napoli was followed by a 3-0 home win over Lille: six points, four goals scored and a clean sheet in both matches. Munich is the first real test of whether that defensive solidity travels.
What Is at Stake
With eight matchdays in the single league table, a win here would put the winner firmly on course for the top eight and a direct place in the round of 16. For Bayern, three points would also put the Viking stumble behind them.
