Champions League picks for Bayern vs. Real Madrid

Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from SportsLine soccer expert 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 the 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 Real Madrid vs. Bayern, Green is picking both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals to be scored for a -120 payout. Los Blancos have been excellent at home in league play, scoring 43 goals and conceding only nine in a 17-game span where they have not lost. However, the expert notes they have been more vulnerable defensively in UCL play, settling for a 1-1 draw at home against RB Leipzig and a 3-3 draw against Manchester.

Meanwhile, Bayern have had their own defensive struggles as of late, which were noticeable in the first leg of this matchup. Green notes that Madrid are the favorite, but reminds that they have let goals into their net.

"Real Madrid is likely to concede once again on Wednesday, as Bayern Munich has a wealth of attacking talent within its ranks," Green told SportsLine. "Yet Vinícius, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham should cause all sorts of problems for Bayern's struggling defense, so it is easy to see why Real Madrid is the favorite to win this game." Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
