History suggests that Bayern Munich should be strong favorites to beat Arsenal in their UEFA Champions League quarter-final this season but the bookies do not see it that way.
Bayern have won 5-1 against the Gunners in each of their last three meetings in Europe's top club competition.
The two teams have met on 12 occasions in total, with the German side winning seven of those games and losing just three.

Harry Kane's record vs. Arsenal
Bayern striker Harry Kane also has a superb record against Arsenal.
In 19 North London derbies during his Tottenham career, Kane scored 14 goals and provided three assists.
Despite this, Kane only played in seven wins over the Gunners. He was on the losing side seven times and also involved in five draws.
Since moving to Bayern from Spurs in August, Kane has scored 36 goals in 34 games for his new club.
Despite Bayern and Kane both boasting impressive records against Arsenal, the bookmakers are anticipating a close contest over two legs.
In fact, Arsenal are being tipped as marginal favorites by the majority of betting sites.
The Gunners can be backed at -125 to reach the semi-finals, while Bayern's best price is currently +105.
This is likely due to Arsenal's superior form in 2024.
Since the turn of the year, Mikel Arteta's men have won nine games and lost just two.
Meanwhile, Bayern have played 12 matches in 2024, winning seven, drawing one and losing four.
