UEFA Champions League picks for Real Madrid vs. Brest

Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Champions League picks from SportsLine soccer expert Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former collegiate soccer player, has been SportsLine’s top soccer editor for more than six years.

Sutton is a former collegiate soccer player and has been SportsLine’s top soccer editor since 2017. 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. In 2023, Sutton was profitable across multiple leagues for SportsLine subscribers, including the Champions League, English Premier League, Europa League, FA Cup, and more. He also finished 2022 as SportsLine’s No. 1 soccer expert with a 165-130-2 mark, returning nearly $2,200 for $100 players.

For Brest vs. Real Madrid, Sutton is backing both teams to score and Over 2.5 goals for a -110 payout. Los Blancos have been scoring goals on the road but also conceding them, keeping a clean sheet in just three out of 18 away matches in Champions League play. Brest have found the back of the net at least once in each of their UCL home games this season, including a cagey 1-0 home victory against PSV on Matchday 6.

The expert also notes how close in points the top teams in the UCL standings are, so both sides should be extra eager to put their best foot forward ahead of the knockout phase of the competition.

“With two or fewer points separating 20th and 8th in the UCL standings, I expect we’ll see an entertaining affair when these two teams collide in France,” Sutton told SportsLine. Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
