Bayern Munich is rolling into form as the holiday period approaches, a grim thought for Galatasaray. The perennial German champions have won all six games against Turkish teams since being held 1-1 at Galatasaray in that first-round tie in 1972.

Most recently, they beat Galatasaray 3-1 in Turkey on Matchday 3. While RAMS Park in Istanbul is renowned for its vociferous and hostile atmosphere, often considered the greatest of equalizers, Bayern Munich went about its business, dispatching the Turkish side in a three-goal performance. The only goal from the home side came from the spot.

Well, now it’s time for Galatasaray to try their luck at Allianz Stadium in Munich, where Bayern is as unbeatable as they are prolific, particularly in the Champions League. Bayern are unbeaten in a record 37 Champions League group matches (W34 D3) and have won each of their last 16 group games, also a competition best.

Harry Kane has 17 goals in 14 matches in all competitions since joining the German champions and will be salivating at the thought of lining up against an inferior side at home.

Aside from their disappointing cup loss to Saarbrücken, in which most starters didn’t play, Munich scored 21 goals in their previous four matches. If you feel four goals or more is a bit of a stretch, you can lock in three or more at -175.

Arsenal enters Wednesday’s match against Sevilla on the back of two successive defeats. However, both of those matches were away from home, one of which (the loss to West Ham) involved at least a handful of reserve players.

The Gunners should enjoy a bounce-back performance against despite the unavailability of Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, and Emile Smith Rowe. Martin Odegaard may return, but his fitness is still in question 24 hours before kickoff.

Whether Odegaard plays shouldn’t matter, such is Sevilla’s abject Champions League form.

The Spanish side hasn’t won any of their last eight away Champions League matches. In 11 away matches against English sides in Europe, Sevilla’s only victory was a 2-1 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the last 16 of the 2017-18 Champions League.

That malaise in Europe’s most prestigious club competition is compounded by their personnel issues, with question marks over Fernando, Sergio Ramos, and Marcos Acuña’s fitness. First-choice goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland withdrew from training on Monday due to an adductor issue and may be unable to start.

Arsenal secured a 2-1 victory in Sevilla on Matchday 3 and shouldn’t have any trouble increasing their margin of victory at the friendly confines of the Emirates Stadium.
