UEFA Champions League picks for Union Berlin vs. Real Madrid
Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the Champions 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 Real Madrid vs. Union Berlin, Green is picking Madrid with a -1.25 handicap for a -135 payout. The expert states that the German side doesn't have the same level of talent as Los Blancos, even though they retooled the roster during the offseason, so it will be more competitive. Meanwhile, Madrid's offseason acquisitions are making up for the fact that Karim Benzema departed for Saudi Arabia and they have a spotless 5-0-0 record to start off their La Liga campaign.
"Die Eisernen have lost their last two Bundesliga matches, which does not bode well for a trip to the Spanish capital to face one of the world's greatest teams," Green told SportsLine. "As such, Real Madrid should win this one comfortably." Stream the game here.
