Champions League picks for Spartak Moscow vs. Benfica

Before you tune in to Tuesday's Champions League qualifier, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from European 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 nearly $19,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.

For Benfica vs. Spartak Moscow, Green is backing Benfica to cover the -1.5 spread at +115 odds. Benfica will be without Haris Seferovic, who went down with an undisclosed injury in the first leg of this qualifier. While Benfica will miss the Swiss striker, Green expects Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk to make a splash in his debut for Benfica.

In fact, Green is also locking in a best bet on Yaremchuk to score, returning +110. Despite Benfica opening its league schedule last week, Green expects the squad's focus to be squarely on finishing off this Champions League qualifier.

Benfica rested several key players such as Rafa Silva and Alejandro Grimaldo in its 2-1 win over Moreirense over the weekend. With the focus clearly on this game, Green is calling for another big win against a Spartak squad that will have almost a 3,000-mile journey for this matchup

"Russian teams typically pick up strong results, but struggle on the road, as they have to embark on long journeys to reach cities like Lisbon," Green told SportsLine.
