It was Roberto Firmino who scored the Reds' first goal in their 7-1 rout of Rangers on matchday four and the Brazilian is priced at 13/2 (7.50) with Darwin Nunez at 11/2 (6.50).

For the hosts, Brian Bobbey is offered at 8/1 (9.00) with the striker in excellent form domestically but yet to open his account in Europe this season.

Ajax vs Liverpool preview

When these sides met an Anfield earlier in the group, the hosts needed a last-minute goal from Joel Matip to secure a 2-1 victory.

Ajax have scored in all four of their matches in the group and should be able to find the back of the net once more against a Liverpool side that have kept just one clean sheet in the competition at home to Rangers.

Group A has provided plenty of entertainment with seven of the eight matches contested so far seeing over 2.5 goals and backing a repeat in Amsterdam on Wednesday evening should be an appealing option.

Over 2.5 goals is available at 4/9 (1.44) while combining this selection with both teams to score sees the odds rise to a healthier 4/6 (1.66).

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
