Arsenal are the 4/1 favourites to lift the Champions League with Betway.
The Gunners completed a perfect league phase, winning all eight of their matches to secure a place in the round of 16 - and in doing so, they became the first team in the league-phase era to do so.
Mikel Arteta’s side opened the scoring in every game, notched three or more goals in six consecutive matches, and conceded just six goals across their last 12 league-phase outings dating back to last season.
Bayern München, meanwhile, are second favourites at 9/2 with bet365. The German champions have won 11 of their last 13 league-phase matches and cruised through to the last 16 just behind Arsenal. Their attack continues to revolve around Harry Kane, who has already scored 27 Champions League goals in just 33 appearances for Bayern.
