UEFA Champions League picks for Barcelona vs. Manchester United
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 betting Marcus Rashford to score a +170 payout. Barcelona's defense is typically strong, with the La Liga leaders having shut out seven of the last nine teams they've played across all competitions. However, Rashford is in strong form and the pricing is enticing.
Since returning from the World Cup break, Rashford has scored 16 times in 17 matches for Manchester United. That includes a goal against Barcelona in Camp Nou last week in the first leg, scoring at the end of a brilliant run from a difficult angle to notch his 22nd goal of the season across all competitions, tying his career-high.
He added two more goals against Leicester City over the weekend and has scored in his last five matches overall. Green is expecting more of the same on Thursday, and even if Barcelona decides to try to park the bus and play for penalties, Rashford can break lines all by himself. Stream the game here.
