BayArena will be the centre of attention when Bayer Leverkusen and Arsenal lock horns in the Champions League last 16, first leg on Wednesday evening. As Arsenal have found their form of late, our prediction firmly points toward a 2-0 away win. The Bundesliga outfit set up a meeting with Mikel Arteta’s troops by beating Olympiacos in the double-header. As Bayer Leverkusen managed to keep a clean sheet in both legs, we predict that they will rely on their solid defence against Arsenal. The fact that Bayer have been conceding 0.70 goals per game supports this betting option. The likes of Arthur, Bade, Ben Seghir, Lucas, and Flekken remain in the treatment room, while Czech forward Patrik Schick is a major doubt.
The Gunners, on the other hand, aim to go all the way in all competitions. Mikel Arteta rested several first-team regulars in a 2-1 FA Cup win over Mansfield Town, but the Spanish tactician is going to field the best possible side against Bayer Leverkusen. With Arsenal conceding only 0.60 goals per game, Under 2.5 goals bet should definitely be considered. All Calafiori, Trossard, Odegaard, and Saliba are rated doubtful for the first leg, but the Premier League leaders have strength in depth.
Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Champions League matchup, alongside Under 3.5 and Under 2.5 goals as both sides are solid at the back.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 11 March 2026 at 17:45.
