UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GROUP A PREDICTION | UCL 2022-2023 GROUP STAGE PREDICTION

GROUP A
Ajax, Liverpool, Napoli, Rangers

After three league games, Liverpool has no wins. It’s not quite crisis time, but the sale of Sadio Mané and numerous early-season injuries have left Jürgen Klopp’s side lacking its familiar intensity. Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have not been at their formidable best and there is a sense of lethargy about the squad that suggests the hangover from missing out on the Premier League and Champions League titles last season lingers. There is little comfort to be found for Liverpool in the Champions League, with Napoli and Rangers representing two of the toughest away trips imaginable.
That said, the Pot 1 side, Ajax, may not quite be the force of old. After five seasons under Erik ten Hag that yielded three league titles, it is now managed by Alfred Schreuder, who managed Hoffenheim and was assistant at both Ajax and Barcelona before winning the Belgian title with Club Brugge last season. He has to deal with a remarkable exodus of talent. Lisandro Martínez, Andre Onana, Sébastien Haller, Noussair Mazraoui and Ryan Gravenberch have all departed, with Manchester United target Antony perhaps soon to join them.

Napoli is also in transition with Kalidou Koulibaly, Dries Mertens, Arkadiusz Milik and David Ospina having left, but Luciano Spalletti’s side, inspired by the brilliant young Georgian Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is top of the Serie A table, with nine goals scored in two wins so far this season. Rangers showed its European mettle in reaching the Europa League final last season. The impact of a pulsating Ibrox is well attested, but progress to the group stage for the first time since 2011 was achieved via a canny and resilient performance away against PSV Eindhoven.
