UEFA Champions League picks for Braga vs. Real Madrid

Before you tune in to Tuesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions 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 Real Madrid vs. Braga, Sutton is backing under 3.5 goals for a -115 payout. In the reverse fixture, Real Madrid didn't dominate by any stretch of the imagination in a 2-1 victory. Los Blancos had 52% of possession and Braga actually outshot Real Madrid 16-13 in the contest.

However, Real Madrid only allowed three of those shots onto target and that defensive solidity has been a calling card this season. The Spanish giants have only allowed 11 goals in 15 matches across all competitions this season and they've managed seven clean sheets.

The last four Real Madrid games have gone under 3.5 goals and there have only been four Real Madrid matches this season where four total goals or more have been scored. The Bernabeu has been a fortress for Real Madrid and Sutton is expecting another low-scoring battle on Wednesday in Madrid. Stream the game here.
