They'll begin their pursuit of returning to the most illustrious league on the continent when they take on Sturm Graz in the third round of UEFA Champions League qualifying on Tuesday on Paramount+.

UEFA Champions League qualifying picks for PSV vs. Sturm Graz
Before tuning into Tuesday's match, you need to see the 2023 UEFA Champions League third-round qualifiers picks from SportsLine soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since last year's World Cup, Green has been profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including the Champions League (+4.78 units), the FA Cup (+3.07), the EFL Cup (+3.64), Euro 2024 qualifiers (+3.01) and the Europa League (+1.60).
For PSV vs. Sturm Graz, Green is backing PSV -1.25 for a -125 payout. The Dutch side were on the brink of Champions League qualifying last season but lost 3-2 on aggregate to Scottish side Rangers. Then, PSV finished second to Arsenal in Group A of Europa League play with 13 points, but actually dominated the Premier League runner-ups with a plus-11 goal differential.
After losing 1-0 at Emirates Stadium, PSV proved they could hang with Europe's big clubs with a 2-0 win over Arsenal at home just seven days later and it took an inspired performance from La Liga club Sevilla to knock them out of the Europa League. Sevilla went on to hoist the title and now PSV are hoping to build on impressive form to end last season.
"Peter Bosz's men finished second in the Eredivisie table last season after picking up 10 wins and two draws from their final 12 games. They also won the KNVB Cup by beating Ajax in a penalty shootout, capping another strong season for PSV," Green told SportsLine. "They carried that sparkling form into the new campaign by beating Feyenoord 1-0 in the Johan Cruijff Shield on Friday. PSV has now lifted that trophy - formerly known as the Dutch Super Cup - for three consecutive years, showing that it typically makes a strong start to each new season."
