LIVERPOOL – AJAX | Tuesday 9pm
A resounding thrashing that could perhaps even do Klopp’s Liverpool some good as they got off to a poor start to the season by Reds standards. Not only a muted start in the league, but also the resounding defeat against Napoli on their debut in which the English team practically did not take the field against Spalletti’s Azzurri, who did practically everything they wanted from the first to the last minute. The Premier League stop did not allow the German coach’s team to try to put the heavy defeat behind them. It will be necessary to beat Ajax not only for the morale but also for the European path that could be complicated in a sensational way.
On their own side, the Dutch got off to a great start on European soil by beating Rangers without any particular problems. The team – who forgot Ten Hag, relying on Schreuder – came from seven wins in a row between league and cup with twenty-five goals scored and only five conceded. Even in the last round of the Eredivisie there were no problems in getting rid of Heerenveen. In short, you need the best Liverpool to be able to take the three points. But Klopp knows this and will send out the best possible formation. No missteps are allowed under any circumstances, also because, to tell the truth, there has been little talk of an exoneration. A non-win, these rumours, could bring them back in an overbearing way.
The Prediction
A match of at least three goals in total, also because two teams used to playing on the attack and having fun will take the field. And, because of what we told you before, Liverpool are clamouring for victory. And in front of their own public, the Reds should be able to take the first three points of their Champions League.
