UEFA Europa League picks for Brighton vs. Marseille

Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa League picks from soccer insider 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 Marseille vs. Brighton, Sutton is picking Over 3.5 goals to be scored for a +140 payout. Four or more goals have been scored in Marseille's last three fixtures across all competition, while Brighton has been involved in eight games over their last nine that have had four or more goals scored. Brighton leads the Premier League with 19 goals scored through seven matches, and the expert suspects their high-scoring ways to continue on Thursday.

"Brighton suffered a 3-2 defeat at home to AEK Athens in the group stage opener, so I think we'll see the Seagulls attack relentlessly looking to secure all three points," Sutton told SportsLine. "Get your popcorn ready and enjoy an exciting game on Thursday." Stream the game here.
