Liverpool finish off their Champions League group campaign with an away match against FC Midtjylland on Tuesday night. The Reds are top of Group D and cannot be caught, so they will likely play with a rotated starting eleven. Jurgen Klopp has been incredibly vocal about how demanding this schedule has been on his squad, and we expect those complaints to reflect in a weakened team. Midtjylland will finish bottom of the group after only picking up one point from their opening five games. However, this campaign has been encouraging for the Danish outfit, who have appeared to improve with every passing game. They picked up their first point on matchday five away to an Atalanta side trying to secure passage to the Round of 16. It was a much better showing than their 4-0 defeat in the reverse fixture. Their previous encounter with Liverpool saw them fall to a 2-0 defeat at Anfield. Both Liverpool goals arrived after the break in a victory that they had to work hard for. UCL group outings aside, Midtjylland are unbeaten in their last seven home matches.

Liverpool have a big Premier League match against Wolves on Sunday before they travel to Denmark, and we expect them to play their big guns in the domestic fixture. Klopp's schedule complaints are valid, and many other managers agree with what he is saying. The goals have dried up for Liverpool in recent weeks on a run in which they have failed to win three of their last five games. They have scored fewer than two goals in four of those matches, which makes us anticipate another low-scoring match here. Back against both teams scoring.
