class=”article_teaser__2t5do”>There is little at stake in this dead rubber Champions League clash and our tipster is backing a slow burner when Klopp's Reds visit Denmark<\/p>\n
<\/head><\/p>\nLiverpool are aiming to close out their Champions League group stage with victory when they travel to Midtjylland on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
A nervy 1-0 win over Ajax last week, coupled with Atalanta failing to win, means the Reds will progress to the knockout stages as Group D winners, regardless of the result in Denmark.<\/p>\n
There is little at stake but pride in this clash, with Liverpool looking to maintain momentum ahead of a packed festive period whilst Midtjylland are searching for a first ever win in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Midtjylland vs Liverpool Latest Odds<\/p>\n
Midtjylland drew 1-1 in Atalanta last week and are 3\/1 (4.0) outsiders with bet365 to follow that up with a famous win over the Premier League champions.<\/p>\n
Having already secured top spot, the bookmakers are anticipating a much-changed Liverpool side for this one and offer 5\/6 (1.83) that they pick up a fifth win in the group stage.<\/p>\n
The Reds are yet to draw any games in this season\u2019s competition and bet365 offer 14\/5 (3.80) that their trip to Denmark ends all square.<\/p>\n
Midtjylland vs Liverpool Team News<\/p>\n
Midtjylland have a clean bill of health for the visit of Liverpool and so Brian Priske may opt for his strongest side in an attempt to make history with a win.<\/p>\n
Jurgen Klopp will no doubt make wholesale changes, with Rhys Williams, Kostas Tsimikas, Takumi Minamino and Divock Origi all likely to start whilst Naby Keita and Trent Alexander-Arnold could feature after recently returning from injury.<\/p>\n
Midtjylland vs Liverpool Preview<\/p>\n
Ahead of a traditionally busy festive period for his injury-ravaged side, Klopp will certainly be pleased that he is able to play fringe and youth players for this dead rubber.<\/p>\n
The Liverpool manager actually employed similar tactics in the reverse fixture and against Atalanta two weeks ago, which saw a changed Reds side put in a pair of very flat performances despite important points being on the line.<\/p>\n
With nothing to play for, it could be yet another tepid affair in Denmark especially considering Midtjylland have created the third-fewest chances in the Champions League this season and scored only three times.<\/p>\n
Midtjylland vs Liverpool Tips and Predictions<\/p>\n
There is little to suggest that this fixture will be particularly entertaining and the 13\/10 (2.30) price on under 2.5 goals from bet365 looks to be worthy of a wager, with it paying out in four of Liverpool\u2019s five Champions League games so far.<\/p>\n
