Bayern Munich host Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday at 21.00 CEST for Champions League Matchday 3. The Bavarians hold a strong record on home soil in European group stages, winning 37 of their last 39 matches at this venue since December 2013, including nine consecutive victories. Bayern's overall head-to-head record favors them: in 15 Champions League meetings, they have won eight times compared to Arsenal's four wins.
Harry Kane poses a particular threat to Arsenal's defense. The Bayern striker has scored 15 goals in 22 competitive matches against the Gunners throughout his career, making them one of his favorite opponents. Kane is currently on a nine-match Champions League scoring streak and netted twice in Bayern's recent 3–3 draw, equaling a feat previously achieved only by Robert Lewandowski, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Arsenal arrive in strong form themselves, remaining unbeaten across their last 14 Champions League group stage matches. However, they suffered a 3–1 defeat in London during last season's encounter with Bayern, and the Munich side are seeking revenge on familiar ground where they have won five of seven previous home clashes against the English club.
