Europa League picks for Roma vs. Bayer Leverkusen
Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa League picks from betting expert 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.
For Roma vs. Leverkusen, Sutton is picking Over 2.5 goals to be scored for a +100 payout. It's no surprise that Leverkusen is scoring at a high rate given their record this season, and they have found the back of the net two or more times in three of their last five matches. However, Roma have become a more offensive team since Daniele De Rossi took over as manager partway through the season, and they have scored twice in three of their last four matches.
The Italian side has been particularly good at home during this competition, including a 4-0 victory against Brighton in the Round of 16 under De Rossi's tenure.
"With a road tilt at Leverkusen on the horizon, I expect the home side to press forward and create ample scoring opportunities for both sides," Sutton told SportsLine. Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
