Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta Clapping

Arsenal’s excellent Champions League record at the Emirates Stadium suggests Bayern Munich could be in for a challenge on Wednesday night. 

Despite historically struggling against Bayern Munich, Arsenal’s nine-game winning streak in the group stage/league phase at the Emirates offers encouragement ahead of their top-of-the-table clash.

Arsenal’s home record in Champions League group stage/league phase

Mikel Arteta has turned the Emirates Stadium into a fortress.

Under the Spaniard, Arsenal have won all nine of their Champions League group stage/league phase matches at home.

Since the 2023/24 season, the Londoners have scored 27 goals (one being an own goal) in home matches without conceding a single one.

Their biggest win at home came in November 2023, as they beat Ligue 1 side Lens 6-0.

In their last outing at the Emirates, the Gunners beat LaLiga giants Atletico Madrid 4-0. Viktor Gyokeres scored a brace in the emphatic win.

Arsenal have won all four of their league phase matches so far without conceding. Owing to their exceptional form, they are leading the Champions League winner betting odds market at 4/1, edging out Bayern (9/2) and PSG (6/1).
