Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur face off on Thursday in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final, with a semi-final spot up for grabs at Deutsche Bank Park.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw in London last week, leaving the tie delicately poised ahead of this decisive clash in Germany. Frankfurt will be looking to make home advantage count, while Spurs hope to overcome recent poor domestic form with a strong European performance.
The Eagles have been impressive in Europe this season, finishing fifth in the league phase with 16 points, while Tottenham came fourth with 17. Both teams have scored 21 goals in the competition so far, highlighting their attacking firepower.
Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller guided his team to a dominant 3-0 win over Heidenheim at the weekend. Meanwhile, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is under pressure following a 4-2 loss to Wolves in their last outing.
EINTRACHT FRANKFURT VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR PREVIEW
Eintracht Frankfurt have established themselves as one of the most well-rounded sides in the Europa League this season. With a record of seven wins, two draws and two defeats, they’ve scored 21 goals and conceded just 13.
Their form at home has been a key strength, and they’ll be full of confidence following their recent 3-0 Bundesliga win. Toppmöller has instilled a balance between compact defence and quick transitions, which could be crucial against Spurs’ high pressing style.
Tottenham’s Europa League campaign has been strong overall, with seven wins, three draws and one defeat across the competition. But their recent domestic form is a cause for concern. Just one win in their last five games—including a heavy loss at Wolves—has raised questions about their defensive stability.
Postecoglou’s side are known for their attacking flair, but their openness at the back could be costly in a high-stakes match away from home. They’ll need key players like Son Heung-min and James Maddison to deliver.
These sides have met five times in Europe, with Spurs winning two, losing one, and the other two ending in draws. The 1-1 result in the first leg leaves the tie finely balanced heading into Thursday night.
