UEFA Europa League picks for Union SG vs. Liverpool

Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa League picks from betting 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 last year's 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 Liverpool vs. Union SG, Green is picking Liverpool to win with a -1.75 handicap for a -140 payout. Union's defense has conceded 12 goals in nine games against Belgian teams that don't have the firepower Liverpool possesses. The Reds may be a bit gassed after their last match against Tottenham, but have the talent to break through Union's defense much like they did against LASK on Matchday 1.

"Virgil Van Dijk, Ibrahima Konaté, Díaz and Darwin Núñez all started against LASK, and if four players of that level of quality feature against Union at Anfield, the Reds should cruise to victory," Green told SportsLine. Stream the game here.
