Matchday three of the UEFA Champions League league phase kicks off today, bringing fans another thrilling night of top-tier European action.

Read on for the best booking codes to use at Bet9ja, with all odds available at time of writing:
Barcelona vs Olympiakos
Marcus Rashford has made a superb start to his Barcelona career, scoring three and assisting four in his first 11 matches across all competitions, including being the club’s top scorer in the Champions League with two goals in two games.
The Englishman has become an increasingly larger goal threat for Barcelona in recent matches, taking more shots and getting more involved in the play as he becomes accustomed to his new team mates.
Given Barcelona are expected to dominate the proceedings against Olympiakos, Rashford should be more involved in the final third, and with his stunning finishing ability, we believe the forward will score here.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid
Arsenal are yet to lose at home in any competition so far this season, boasting four wins and one draw from their five matches, and that will give them plenty of confidence when they host Atletico Madrid.
Meanwhile, their visitors have made a miserable start to the campaign when playing on the road, failing to win on their travels so far this season with two defeats and three draws, leaving them with the tough task of breaking that streak at the Emirates Stadium.
While Diego Simeone’s side will look to make it a difficult game for Arsenal by defending deep and breaking forward, given the Gunners’ home strength and Atletico Madrid’s away struggles, we believe the hosts will emerge victorious.
Arsenal to win, 1.60 – Book Here
Bayer Leverkusen vs PSG
Bayer Leverkusen may be in improved form, having won four and drawn four of their last eight matches across all competitions, but they are still set to be the underdogs heading into this encounter with reigning champions Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG are facing a difficult moment, having managed only two wins in their last five outings, alongside two draws and one defeat, but they are one of just six sides to have won each of their first two league phase fixtures, giving them plenty of reason for optimism going into this one.
The most recent of those wins came away against Barcelona on matchday two, when Goncalo Ramos scored a late winner to secure a deserved 2-1 victory in Spain, and that result and performance will give PSG huge confidence going forward.
PSG controlled much of the game and were the superior side, and now set to face an inferior Bayer Leverkusen team, we expect the reigning champions to show their quality with a comfortable win.

Villarreal vs Manchester City
Erling Haaland is enjoying an absolutely exceptional run of goalscoring form for both club and country, with the big Norwegian striker having scored in all of his last 11 matches across all competitions, while he has netted in all but one of his 13 matches this term.
That run has seen Haaland score a jaw-dropping 21 goals for club and country, while he has netted 23 times across all competitions in 2025/26, including three in two Champions League games.
Given that breathtaking run of form, we expect the Norwegian striker to continue his remarkable run with another goal against a Villarreal that have conceded 13 times in 11 matches across the Champions League and La Liga.
