Arsenal travel to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday, and our tipster sees value in the Gunners avoiding defeat while Harry Kane is backed to score against his old rivals.
The recommended bets are Arsenal or draw in the double chance market at 4/5 with Skybet, and Kane to score anytime at 21/20 with Bet365.
Arsenal aiming to extend unbeaten run against Bayern
Arsenal returned to winning ways with a late goal from Noni Madueke in a tough encounter at the City Ground on Sunday. The start of the season has been a grind for Mikel Arteta's men, but the 3-0 away defeat to Brighton is now out of their system.
Bayern Munich are priced at 11/10 on betting sites due to home advantage, while the value might be on the Gunners at 5/2. Arsenal beat Bayern last year in the Champions League, but both teams were flying high in the league phase, eventually finishing first and second.
Kane backed to score against former foes
Harry Kane scored 36 goals in the Bundesliga and 50 goals in all elite competitions for Bayern Munich last season, winning him the Golden Shoe for being the leading goalscorer across all of Europe's top leagues. The marksman has already notched nine goals in all competitions for Kompany's men this season and says his best is still to come.
Kane has been a thorn in the side of arch rivals Arsenal down the years, and he will be itching to get on the scoresheet on Wednesday. Kane is as short as 4/5 on football betting sites to find the net against Arteta's men at the Allianz. The English striker is best priced at 9/2 with William Hill to be top Champions League goalscorer.
Team news and recent form
Bayern are flying at the moment, going unbeaten so far this season, and they sit atop the Bundesliga. Vincent Kompany's men hammered RB Leipzig 6-1 in the Bundesliga last weekend. Harry Kane was on the scoresheet, while Luiz Diaz bagged himself a hat-trick. Starlet Lennart Karl could potentially make an appearance against the Gunners, either from the start or coming off the bench.
Arsenal have only shipped two goals in eight games across the Premier League and Champions League so far if the Brighton game is taken as an anomaly. Ezri Konsa is really finding his feet at the centre of defence beside Gabriel. The Bavarians have been leaky in defence too, only keeping three clean sheets in their last 10 games, and Arsenal may take a result away from the trip to Bavaria.
