Italian Serie A picks for Barcelona vs. Napoli

Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the UEFA Champions League picks from SportsLine soccer 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 the 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 Napoli vs. Barcelona, Green is picking both teams to score plus Over 2.5 goals to be scored for a -110 payout. Even if Napoli doesn't have Victor Osimhen for the entire game, they still have plenty of firepower with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Matteo Politano and Giovanni Simeone in the lineup. They played well at home in the group stage of the competition, and will want to find the back of the net often to secure a win before playing away in the second leg.

Barca have scoring weapons of their own in Robert Lewandowski, Yamine Lamal and Pedri, but also have significant holes on both offense and defense due to injuries.

"Barca's defense looks threadbare, and it could struggle against the creative brilliance of Kvaratskhelia, so this looks like a game in which both teams will score," Green told SportsLine.
