Bayer Leverkusen vs Arsenal Prediction & Tips | Champions League - Play Offs | FootballTips.app

At BayArena on March 11, 2026, Bayer Leverkusen will face Arsenal in an important Champions League fixture.

Bayer Leverkusen comes into the match with 3 wins in their last 6 Champions League matches and 4 wins in their last 6 home games across all leagues.

On the other hand, Arsenal has been in stellar form, boasting 8 wins in 8 league matches and securing 4 consecutive victories in their recent away games.

The statistical outlook favors Arsenal, who are predicted to win with a 41% probability.

Bayer Leverkusen are the latest side tasked with trying to halt Arsenal’s flawless Champions League campaign as the round of 16 begins at the BayArena. The German side had to take the longer route here, finishing 16th in the league phase before eliminating Olympiacos 2-0 on aggregate, while Arsenal swept through the initial stage with eight wins from eight, becoming the first club to post a perfect record under the competition’s new format.

Leverkusen’s route into the last 16 was hardly straightforward, but there has been steel in their recent European work. They beat Olympiacos 2-0 away before managing the return leg efficiently in a goalless draw, extending a sequence of three unbeaten Champions League games with three consecutive clean sheets. Their broader home record in Europe is also encouraging, with only two defeats in their last 19 continental matches at the BayArena.

Arsenal arrive with even greater momentum. Mikel Arteta’s side are unbeaten in 11 matches in all competitions and have won eight straight in Europe, their longest winning run on the continent. They have scored three or more goals in each of their last six Champions League matches and, perhaps most impressively, have yet to trail at any point in this season’s competition.

The historical backdrop is limited but interesting. These sides met only in the 2001/02 second group stage, drawing 1-1 in Germany before Arsenal won 4-1 in London. Leverkusen have generally been competitive against English opposition, losing only one of their last seven matches against Premier League sides, while Arsenal’s record against German clubs remains more awkward. The Gunners have lost their last five two-legged ties against Bundesliga opposition, though all of those came against Bayern Munich.

That combination gives this tie an intriguing tension: Arsenal look like one of the most complete teams in the competition, but Leverkusen are not an easy draw, especially at home.
