GROUP A
Next fixtures, Oct. 12: Napoli vs. Ajax, Rangers vs. Liverpool
Napoli: Will qualify with a win/draw at home to Ajax.
Liverpool: Cannot qualify on Matchday 4, but a win over Rangers and defeat for Ajax would leave Jurgen Klopp’s men needing at most one point from their final two matches.
Ajax Amsterdam: Victory against Napoli would put them in a much stronger position to qualify. But defeat in Italy, coupled with a win for Liverpool, would leave the Eredivisie side needing to win both their remaining games to have any chance of qualifying.
Rangers: Still without a point in the competition, Rangers will be eliminated from the Champions League if they draw/lose at home to Liverpool.
