UEFA Champions League picks for Manchester Utd. vs. Barcelona
Before you tune in to Thursday’s match, you need to see the UEFA Europa League 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 then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $33,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season. He has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Barcelona vs. Manchester United, Green is picking United at +0.75 for a -111 payout. The expert notes that these teams aren’t the titans they were when they faced off in the Champions League finals in 2009 and 2011. However, they are still the two best teams left in the current competition and boast a confidence and immense talent.
Green is more impressed, however, with how Erik ten Hag has turned the Red Devils around. With the help of forward Marcus Rashford and midfielder Casemiro, the English side has become a well-rounded threat that can give any team a hard time. Plus, Barca’s success in league play isn’t translating seamlessly to other competition.
“Barça will probably dominate possession, but United will pose a considerable threat on the counterattack, led by the pace and confidence of Rashford,” Green told SportsLine. “Barcelona has been strong domestically this season, but it flopped in the Champions League, and United could cause plenty of problems for Xavi‘s men.” Stream the game here.
