UEFA Champions League picks for Chelsea vs. Borussia Dortmund
Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from SportsLine soccer expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine's top soccer editor for more than five years. He has followed soccer closely for much longer and factors in managerial tactics, projected lineups and past performances to make the most informed decisions possible, keeping his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
Sutton finished 2022 as SportsLine's top soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players. He also excelled in Serie A with a 63-39-1 mark, returning nearly $1,600.
For Dortmund vs. Chelsea, Sutton is picking Under 2.5 goals to be scored for a -125 payout. The expert notes that the Thiago Silva-led Chelsea backline has been impressive even though the Blues only have one win in their last eight matches. Chelsea have four draws over their last eight matches. They have also kept a clean sheet in three of their last four fixtures and have hit the Under 2.5 in 10 of their last 12 matches across all competitions.
This isn't to say that Borussia Dortmund's offense won't put Chelsea's backline to the test. But Sutton sees Chelsea putting up a tough fight on the road in the first leg of this Round of 16 matchup.
"I expect Graham Potter will implement a defensive game-plan in the first leg on the road knowing they host the second leg at Stamford Bridge, resulting in a cagey affair that stays under the total," Sutton told SportsLine. Stream the game here.
