Before you tune in to Thursday's match, you need to see the Europa 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 Leverkusen vs. Roma, Sutton is picking Under 2.5 goals to be scored for a +115 payout. Leverkusen's defense has been paramount to their success this season. In addition to allowing just 23 goals in 32 Bundesliga matches this season, they have kept a clean sheet in five of their last nine games across all competition.

Roma's own defense is solid as they have given up two or fewer goals in all but one match since conceding four to Serie A-leading Inter Milan back in February. However, they haven't scored many goals either, so it's easy to see why the expert is picking the Under to hit on Thursday.

"Roma managed just two shots on target in the first leg, so I don't see the visitors creating a lot of scoring opportunities against a Leverkusen side that knows a draw will see their unbeaten streak extended and cement their spot in the Europa League final," Sutton told SportsLine.
