Will FCB upset the defending champions?
Arsenal WFC beat FC Barcelona in the Champions League final in Lisbon this summer, securing their first European title since 2007. However, the Londoners are currently unable to build on this success.
In the Champions League group stage, they suffered a 1-2 home defeat to OL Lyonnes on the very first matchday, while in the Women’s Super League, they are already six points behind the leaders after eight matchdays. Against this backdrop, we are leaning towards a home win for Bayern against Arsenal Women, who cemented their lead in the Women’s Bundesliga with a 4-0 home win over Union Berlin on Friday.
In fact, the players from the Isar have lost only one competitive game in 2025/26 – but it was a heavy defeat. They lost 7-1 away to FC Barcelona on the first matchday of the Champions League group stage. Nevertheless, the Munich women have not lost any of their last 13 games (ten wins, three draws) in front of their home crowd in the preliminary rounds of the Champions League (group and league stages). As we expect Bayern vs. Arsenal Women’s prediction to be a high-scoring duel against the Londoners, our recommended match combo on the double chance 1X with over 1.5 goals also offers the opportunity to hedge against the possibility of a draw.
On the other hand, if you wouldn’t rule out an away win for the Londoners, who have only won one of their ten away games against German clubs (one draw, eight defeats) – a 4-3 win at Turbine Potsdam dating back to 2012/13 – you could alternatively stick with your prediction of a high-scoring match.
Bayern – Arsenal Women Head-to-head record / H2H record
Head to head: 2 – 0 – 2
Four international competitive matches have taken place between the two teams so far, and the head-to-head record is completely even. In all four cases, the home team came out on top. Interestingly, Arsenal’s two wins against Bayern were the Londoners’ only two wins in their last nine European matches against Bundesliga representatives (two draws, five defeats).
Bayern – Arsenal Women Tip
Basically, our tip for Bayern vs. Arsenal Women is a home win for the Munich team, who currently dominate the Women’s Bundesliga and are top of the table with 28 out of a possible 30 points, while the Gunners are currently only fourth in the English Women’s Super League. The home strength of José Barcala’s team is also likely to be a factor. In Champions League preliminary round matches (group and league phase), FCB are now unbeaten in 13 home games (ten wins, three draws). The only two home games against the Londoners so far have also been victorious.
Arsenal WFC have also lost eight of their ten away games in Germany (one win, one draw), which is why we believe an away win on the Isar would be a surprise. As we also expect a high-scoring match, the combined tip on the double chance 1X with over 1.5 goals, which would also cover a possible 1-1 draw, offers the greatest value. For this, Bayern vs. Arsenal Women betting odds of 1.60 are available at Betano, which we are betting on with four out of ten units.
