Arsenal reached this stage of the competition after finishing second behind FC Schalke with ten points having won three matches but losing two. The defeat against Blackburn Rovers at the weekend means another defeat here could jack the pressure up even more on Arsene Wenger.
Bayern finished on the same number of points as Valencia but won their group with the better head to head record. They have a stupidly good record in the Bundesliga this season and have only conceded seven goals in 22 league games. However, they conceded that same amount during the group stage.
What is your prediction?
