Champions League: Rio Ferdinand predicts Bayern Munich vs Arsenal clash

Published

on

Former Manchester United defender, Rio Ferdinand, has said Bayern Munich are favourites to qualify for the Champions League semi-final at the expense of Arsenal.

Both sides play each other in their quarter-final second leg in Germany on Wednesday.

The Gunners will be hoping to progress to the last four of the competition for the first time since 2009.

The first leg at the Emirates ended 2-2, but Arsenal’s confidence may have been dented by a 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Sunday.

Bayern beat Koln on Saturday, but they have already lost their Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen with five fixtures left.

Ahead of the return leg in Munich, Ferdinand said: “I think it’s advantage Bayern Munich.

“Bayern are at home and have all that experience in Europe.

“Arsenal could win but it’s advantage Bayern for me.”
