Bayern have played 11 Away games in the Bundesliga, won 10 drawn 1, scored 27 goals and only conceded 1. I think it will take something really special from Arse to even get something out of the game, especially after the morale sapping loss to blackburn. Hoping for a good game tonight
Champions League Round of 16 fixtures
- Thread starter Sojiro
- Start date
Bayern have also conceded 7 in their 6 group stage matches in the CL.
Could see a score draw - Bayern would be fine with that heading back to Munich
Bayern will hammer Arsenal at the Allianz.
But think Arsenal might put in a positive performance today. Probably a score draw.

Not being embarrassed would be a positive result for this Arsenal side..
Really can't see anything other then a Bayern win. Arsenal defensive line press too far up the pitch. There could be a massacre on the cards
Arse to pull an upset tonight, Villa to capitalise on subsequent overconfidence.
I've got a feeling they'll raise their game and win, like against Barca a couple of seasons ago.
They'll get smashed at the Allianz though.

People are overrating Bayern. I expect Arsenal to be at their best and get the win today
Bayern would be harder opponents for Bayern.
I want Bayern to go through because we can beat them as well and because they would be a tough test for Barca.
Also, I grew up in Germany and always had a soft spot for Bayern.
Bayern starting with Schweni and Martinez in midfield.
It's enough to cause a Muppet's cock to explode.

Can't see an arsenal win tonight, they're capable of putting a good performance but they're fragile and mentally weak and if anything goes against them they'll crumble. Can't remember witnessing a worse arsenal side, hopefully they'll prove me wrong.
Bookies seem to doubt Arsenal very much. I tend to agree with them.
Surely is. Those two are brilliant.

Can't see Arsenal getting much change out of that.
Bayern have conceded 7 goals in 22 games in the Bundisliga, with a GD of +50. Hard to underrate that.
We're playing with:
----------------Helton-----------------
Danilo---Otamendi---Mangala---Alex Sandro
-------------Fernando-----------------
----Lucho--------------Moutinho--------
Izmaylov-----------------------------Varela
---------------Jackson----------------
A bit surprised with Izmaylov inclusion. He played 90 minutes last game.

their record in the Champions League isn't great though
they have conceded 7 goals in their 3 away games (i think)
Bayern will win the tie and may well win tonight but the way people are going on about them you'd think they were unbeatable
Why is Rodriguez on the bench, buddy? Is he coming off an injury or something?
Yeah, he played 20 minutes or so in the last match. Will probably come out of the bench earlier today.
But I was expecting Atsu to play in his position. Even James starting I thought would be more likely than Izma. He played very well last game, but arguably is regaining his physical condition (he wasn't used at Sporting) and since it was the first time he played 90 minutes I thought the plan was benching him for tonight.
Time for me to see what Wilshere is about, never got the hype.
Their Bundesliga form really doesn't mean that much though. They've conceded the same amount in their CL games this season. Bayern should be considered favourites, but people definitely are overrating them.
He's one of the few young players around right now that deserves the hype he's getting IMO.
I think we may see Ramsey on the right, Walcott upfront and Podolski on the left.
Dante and Buyten can be got at.
Fantastic midfield trio Bayern have. Schweini, Martinez and Kroos. I can't see Arsenal beating this lot tonight.
I'm usually one the 'English' so overated brigade with most players, but if you can't see how ridiculously good Wilshere is.... I worry for your football knowledge.
Wowsers. Keith Andrews' hair.
I guarantee he'll be Arsenal's best player tonight.
Bayern used lots of squad players in the the CL group. They took it as serious as United usually take their CL groups. Pretty sure we'll see a team today closer to the league form than to that strange loss at Bate.
He really is brilliant. And deserves the hype.
Oh, thanks. Missunderstood your post then, my bad.
i'd like to see Arsenal get a result here
I feel sorry for Arsene
I feel sorry for Arsene
Wenger on Liverpool. 
adversity brings out the best in some teams
i don't think Arsenal have that mental strength
arsenal 2-2 bayern is my prediction

Ramsey is a terrible player, can't believe he starts in a knockout game in CL.
Uh oh
I don't think he is terrible. He has lost what he once had though.
That's what happens when you don't buy a striker and have to play Walcott up front.
Come on, gooners.
