Shane’s Free Pick

Union Berlin’s defense has been a big issue and it’s going to really hurt them again here. Real Madrid is going to score at least three goals here by themselves. Their defense has been an issue heading into this game though, and their defense is going to really let them down here. There were will be at least four goals scored here, and this game is going to be an easy over bet. Back the over 2.5 goals to cash here.
