UEFA Europa League picks for Sparta vs. Liverpool

Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa League picks from betting expert Jon Eimer. Eimer is a high-volume bettor who has vast knowledge of leagues and players across the globe. Since joining SportsLine, he has covered the English Premier League, Serie A, the FA Cup and much more. Since the end of last year's World Cup, Eimer has been red-hot on English Premier League picks, going 57-27-4 for a profit of $3,450 for $100 bettors. Overall, he is 178-169-8 (+18.91) on soccer picks over that span. Anyone following him is WAY up.  

For Liverpool vs. Sparta, Eimer is picking Under 3.5 goals to be scored for a -125. The expert understands why the home team is so heavily favored, between their immense quality and their home record. However, he also points out that their current schedule is very congested due to Europa League, FA Cup and league matches happening at the same time. This will force manager Jurgen Klopp to sit some of his big guns in Thursday's match.

Additionally, Sparta is a team that plays better at home than they do on the road, and they could only muster up one goals against the Reds in the reverse fixture in Prague.

"I believe we're in for an untraditional low-scoring affair out of Liverpool," Eimer said. "They will be perfectly content parking the bus, slowing things down, and prepping for future competitions." Stream the match here.
