UEFA Champions League picks for Liverpool vs. Rangers
Before you tune in to Tuesday’s match, you need to see the UEFA Champions 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 also has been on a roll with his best bets, going 130-95-1 on his soccer best bets in 2022, returning more than $2,000 for $100 bettors.
For Liverpool vs. Rangers, Sutton is picking over 3.5 goals to be scored for a -125 payout. The expert acknowledges that the Scottish side has been held without a goal in its first two Champions League matches, losing 4-0 to Ajax and 3-0 to Napoli. But Rangers could break that trend on Tuesday against a Liverpool defense that has conceded 10 goals over its last three fixtures.
This doesn’t mean Liverpool won’t pack plenty of firepower of their own, given how much they have been scoring at home as of late.
