RC Lens, the runner-up in last season’s Ligue 1, is determined to maintain their flawless record in European competitions as they prepare for the third round of Champions League Group B. Their next challenge comes on Tuesday against the formidable Dutch team, PSV Eindhoven.

Lens, a team that was playing in the lower division of French football just three years ago, has finally made a comeback to the most prestigious club tournament in Europe after a 21-year hiatus. This achievement was made possible by their impressive second-place finish in Ligue 1 last season, falling just one point behind the reigning champions PSG. Their return to the grand stage has been absolutely awe-inspiring, as they currently hold the top spot in Group B with four points. This remarkable feat was achieved through a hard-fought 1-1 draw against the current Europa League titleholders, Sevilla, and a sensational 2-1 victory over the powerhouse Arsenal from the Premier League.

PSV, a struggling Dutch team, will be facing off against a Ligue 1 outfit in the European elite club competition. Currently at the bottom of Group B with only one point, PSV’s chances of advancing to the Round of 16 could be seriously at risk if they fail to secure a win in their upcoming match in France. Although they suffered a heavy defeat to Arsenal in their first game, Peter Bosz’s squad has shown some improvement by securing a point in an exciting 2-2 draw against Sevilla in the second round, after twice canceling out their lead.

RC Lens vs PSV Eindhoven Betting Tips: BTTS

We have full confidence that the audience in northern France will thoroughly enjoy an exciting midweek showdown between two teams equipped with all the necessary attacking prowess to create an unforgettable night. Led by the highly skilled striker Elye Wahi, Lens possesses the potential to penetrate PSV’s defense in front of their passionate home crowd. They have impressively scored two or more goals in nine out of their last 13 matches, only encountering one loss along the way. However, it is important to note that the club from northern France has faced challenges regarding their defense this season, managing only two clean sheets in their first 11 competitive games.

This situation doesn’t look promising for RC Lens, as they are visited by the offensively inspired PSV midweek, who have shown an outstanding response after a 0-4 defeat to Arsenal, going unbeaten in six matches (W5; D1) and scoring a stunning 19 goals during that period. The Dutch giant has grounds for optimism in Tuesday’s clash because with the return of their offensive strength, they have become a serious threat, and the fact that Lens allowed at least one goal to all of their visiting rivals gives PSV an additional boost. PSV Eindhoven could emerge with a favorable outcome, but it’s prudent to consider the BTTS option, given the offensive potential of both teams in the final third and their desire for victory.
