Bayern Munich host Arsenal on Wednesday 21 October 2026 at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Kick-off is 8:00pm Nigerian time (WAT). It is a League Phase Matchday 3 fixture.
Bayern are reported to be without Michael Olise, who is suspended after a red card against Viking, and Jamal Musiala is expected to miss out with a thigh problem. Kim Min-jae is a doubt, and Manuel Neuer is expected to be fit. Arsenal are reported to be without Piero Hincapie, Christos Tzolis and William Saliba, while Martin Zubimendi is fit. Confirm all of this against the line-ups before kick-off.
Bayern sit 10th with four points after a 5-0 win over Bodo/Glimt and a 3-3 draw at Viking. Arsenal are seventh with six points, having beaten Napoli 1-0 and Lille 3-0 (see our Arsenal vs Lille preview) without conceding. Arsenal have lost their last three visits to the Allianz Arena, but beat Bayern 3-1 at the Emirates last season.

Bayern have goals in them, but they have lost their wing threat Olise and may be short of Musiala. Arsenal are organised and have not conceded in two games. Both sides should have chances, and a draw or a one-goal game looks as likely as a comfortable win for either team.
