Liverpool travel to Ajax on Wednesday night with Jurgen Klopp’s men needing a point to book their place in the Champions League knockout stages.

A draw would guarantee second place in Group A, however, the Reds will give themselves a chance to catch Napoli if they win at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Liverpool come into this on the back of their dismal 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday.

It looked like Liverpool had turned the corner after a slow start to the campaign, with wins against Rangers, Manchester City and West Ham. However, the Forest defeat showed that the Reds might be challenging for the top four this season instead of the title.

As for Ajax, they need to win – plus other results to go their way – if they’re to have any hope of progressing to the knockout stages.

Alfred Schreuder’s side won their opening game against Rangers but went on to lose three in a row.

Our prediction: Ajax v Liverpool

Ajax will be all-out attack on Wednesday night, with only a win being good enough for the Dutch side.

That will leave plenty of space for Liverpool to exploit on the counter attack. It’s going to be an open game and there’s a big chance of plenty of goals.

Our prediction: Ajax 2-3 Liverpool (18/1 at bet365)
