Bayern Munich vs Arsenal
After all, lightning doesn’t strike four times. But when these two European heavyweights meet in the ICC Cup at the Shanghai Stadium on Wednesday, the Gunners certainly have a score to settle.
Bayern have won six of the ten football games between the two, the last three all by a damaging 5-1 score line in the Champions League. And the Germans are 1.79 to win again with Asian Handicap Betting, the Gunners at 4.10 and the draw at 3.60. So can Arsene Wenger motivate his team to end their ritual humiliation at the hands of the Bundesliga champions?
His main job this summer is to build a team at the Emirates capable of winning silverware. Alexis Sanchez wants Champions League football and whether Arsene Wenger can persuade the Chilean maestro to wait a year remains to be seen. He’s made a good start with the marquee signing of Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon.
Bayern, too, have been busy in the market, and new recruit James Rodriguez made his first appearance last week when Carlo Ancelotti’s men lifted the Telekom Cup with a win over Werder Bremen. They start the season as overwhelming favourites to retain their crown and will be a force in Europe again.
This is a big season for Arsenal, with no Champions League pressure they will look to emulate Chelsea’s Premier League winning performance when the Blues had that unwelcome luxury last season.
And they really need to start with the right tone by giving Bayern a game!
