Groups E, F, G and H are the ones in action on Tuesday night, and if the second match day of action is anywhere near as good as the first, we're going to be in for a treat.
A couple English teams are really under the gun here. Tottenham, a team that is always praying to snare one of those last UCL spots from the Premier League, didn't get off to a fine start when it was beaten at home by Monaco. The trip to Moscow is never fun, but better to get it out of the way here in September than in December. The Spurs though, can't afford to lose another three points to a potential advancing rival if they have any hopes of reaching the last 16.
Leicester City got off to a good start by beating Club Brugge in Belgium last week, and now, the opportunity presents itself to run five clear of FC Porto on Tuesday. The Foxes haven't been great at home, but here in Europe, the opportunity certainly presents itself to get into the knockout rounds in the team's first ever appearance in this tournament. FC Copenhagen will likely get all three points from Club Brugge in the other match in Group G, and that's why snaring all three in Leicester's first ever UCL match at King Power Stadium is so vital.
Group H is quite interesting already with Sevilla and Juventus drawing in their opening match. Dinamo Zagreb shouldn't put up much of a fight against the other three in this group, but if there are points to be had, they're certainly at home. Juventus needs to be incredibly careful of a dangerous fixture for sure, as anything less than three points will leave it in the rear of Lyon and Sevilla, who will also square off on Tuesday.
The titans of Group F will meet for the first time on Tuesday as well. Real Madrid hasn't been in good form at all relative to what it's used to. Los Blancos do have three points to show for their opening match in the UCL against Sporting, but this duel against Borussia Dortmund might end up going a long way towards determining who will finish first and who will finish second in this group. There's a big difference between those two slots for sure, as the winners of the group know they don't have to meet fellow group winners in the Round of 16. Still, neither one of these teams should be working all that hard at this stage of the competition, and this will merely be a really good litmus test for both clubs more than anything else.
