With all of the major sports in action stateside, it’s easy to forget about Europe’s best football clubs going head-to-head in the Champions League. The UCL matches resume today after a couple of weeks off due to an international break. There are a few intriguing matchups on today’s eight-match slate, including Bayern Munich heading to Turkey to take on Galatasaray, and Sevilla hosting Arsenal. Here are my top Champions League picks for Matchday 3. And below we dive into Lens vs. Eindhoven.

Tuesday’s Champions League Best Bets: Lens vs. Eindhoven
Odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbooks
Lens vs. Eindhoven (+180), DRAW (+250) | 2.5 (-145/+120)
One of the underrated matchups on today’s schedule features a battle between Lens and Eindhoven. The France-Netherlands crossover is so interesting solely based on the Group B table. Lens leads the way at 2-0-0 while Arsenal (1-0-1), Sevilla (0-2-0), and PSV Eindhoven (0-1-1) fall into place after. This match is scheduled for 3:00 p.m. ET from Stade Félix Bollaert-Delélis in Lens, FR.
While things have been going well in international play, you cannot say the same for Lens in terms of their Ligue 1 efforts. The French club is just 2-3-4 domestically, which is good enough for 15th in the table. They’ve managed to score just eight goals while allowing 13.
I hate to play the "they’re due" card, but I can’t see PSV going winless on the UCL front this campaign. The Dutch club is on fire domestically, sitting at 9-0-0 with a +27 goal differential. Their high-powered offense has seen them out-score opponents 19-4 over their last six matches. In terms of xG in Champions League play so far, Eindhoven has posted a mark of 3.1. In my opinion, I can easily see Boeren (the Farmers) taking care of business on the road. Let’s play them on the moneyline with a sizable +180 payout.
