UEFA Europa League picks for Liverpool vs. Sparta

Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa 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 Sparta vs. Liverpool, Green is picking the Reds to win for a -110 payout. The Czech hosts are at the top of their league and defeated a tough Galatasaray team to get to the Round of 16. However, the expert believes they will be outmatched by their Premier League opponents on Thursday.

The Reds are dealing with a plethora of injuries but have gotten good results from players such as Conor Bradley, Bobby Clark, James McConnell, Jayden Danns and Jarell Quansah. Klopp may opt to rest some of his best players on Thursday with a big FA Cup battle against Manchester United coming up next weekend, but Green likes what he is seeing from the English side heading into Thursday.

"A draw would be a decent result for Liverpool on Thursday, as it would be confident of winning the second leg at Anfield, but the odds on an away win still look tempting," Green told SportsLine. Stream the match here.
