I have had a look and I couldn't believe that the bookmakers seem to have big faith in Arsenal and valued them as the real favorite. To give you an idea, they put Arsenal at 1.99, so let's say at 2.0, and they put Bayern Munich at 3.59.
I agree that the odds for Bayern Munich winning this game should be relatively high as it is a game away from home and it is against the team that is leading the Premier League. But given how the game developed recently for Bayern, do you think that Arsenal winning the game at 1.99 is correctly marked by the bookmakers? Even if it is marginal, it is a bit below 2.0 and I did expect something with a 2. coming first.
I don't think that Arsenal's chances of winning that game are that high. At least I wouldn't bet on it at those odds. I think it is always a good indicator to think about potential odds that someone would be willing to put money on an outcome and for me this would be more between 2.5 and 3.0, but it would definitely not be worth it when you get just under 2.0.
Regardless all of the previous meeting records between Arsenal and Bayern Munich for the first leg match it will be held at Arsenal home ground and based on the odds i can see Arsenal is the favourite with odds @2.05 and Bayern Munich as underdog status with odds @3.55 and i think why the bookmakers putting Arsenal is the favourite is because during this season since group stages Arsenal has good records when they playing at home and their records is 4 wins and scores 11 goals and still cleansheet and from these records too we can see Arsenal is very strong during playing at Emirates Stadium and this is big challenge for Bayern Munich whether they can able to beat Arsenal in the first leg or Arsenal who possibly can beat them
Just like i said before Arsenal have to hard struggling for quarterfinal stages because they have to fight against Bayern Munich which this team always being an the favourite in this competition for each season and this also the first tested for Arsenal playing against strong opponent because if they can able to beat Bayern Munich then Arsenal is deserved to called as champion candidate but Arsenal have to beware of Bayern Munich because possibly they will go all in for this match because the chances to gets the trophy for Bayern Munich only through an this competition
