UEFA Champions League qualifier picks for Slovan Bratislava vs. Swift Hesperange
Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League qualifier picks from SportsLine soccer 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. Green is 52-47-1 on his SportsLine soccer picks since the conclusion of the 2022 World Cup, generating almost $900 for $100 bettors.
For Slovan Bratislava vs. FC Swift Hesperange, Green is picking Bratislava to win on the 90-minute money line for a -118 payout. He is expecting Bratislava to show off their superior skill with 11-on-11 play, assuming they don't lose anyone for a red card in the second leg. Bratislava will miss Kucka, who is suspended following the red card, but Green believes the team's talent and experience will overcome being without the strong defender.
Bratislava reached the knockout stage of the UEFA Europa Conference League last year, so they have the experience of playing in these qualifying stages. Green believes in Bratislava's core, which is captained by Vladimir Weiss, who is also the manager's son. Marko Tolić and Aleksandar Cavrić are also strong offensive players and after escaping with a draw despite playing man down for half the match, now that the numbers even back up, expect Bratislava's playmaking style to show.
