That’s the view of former Red Jason McAteer, who believes Klopp and his players will relish the opportunity to secure their spot in the group stages of the competition in front of their own fans.
Liverpool travel to Germany for the first leg of the tie on August 15, before welcoming the Bundesliga outfit to L4 eight days later.
But while McAteer expects the side who finished fourth in the German top flight last term to provide a stern test, he feels being pitted against high-quality opposition may actually benefit the Reds - especially with the prospect of big European night at Anfield to come on August 23.
