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 then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated almost $33,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season.

Green knows Mohamed Salah leads Liverpool with eight goals in 22 English Premier League games this season and has been even more productive during Champions League play. After failing to score in the Reds' opening match, the 30-year-old forward netted seven tallies over their next five contests - including a hat trick in the team's 7-1 victory over Rangers. Striker Darwin Nunez is second on the Reds with three Champions League tallies, converting in each of their last three games, but is questionable with a shoulder injury.
The expert also has taken into account that Real Madrid have lost just one of their last 10 matches across all competitions and have outscored their opponents 15-4 during their current four-game winning streak. Los Blancos expect to have Karim Benzema on the pitch Tuesday after he sat out the team's 2-0 La Liga victory against Osasuna over the weekend with muscle fatigue. The 35-year-old French striker has not scored in four Champions League matches but is tied for second in La Liga with 11 tallies in 13 contests.
