"Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Tottenham to Deutsche Bank Park as both sides conclude their Champions League league-phase campaigns with very different objectives. The hosts have already been eliminated from contention, sitting near the foot of the 36-team table, while Spurs arrive in Germany knowing that victory would all but secure automatic qualification to the last 16. Eintracht Frankfurt's European campaign has unravelled rapidly after a promising domestic season last year, with Dennis Schmitt's side unable to translate Bundesliga form onto the continental stage."
"Die Adler have managed just one win from seven league-phase matches, leaving them stranded on four points and well outside the top-24 cut-off. Tottenham travel having endured a frustrating domestic run, with Saturday's 2-2 draw at Burnley making it five Premier League matches without a win. But they go into the game in fifth place in the Champions League and could lock down a crucial top-eight finish."
Eintracht Frankfurt host Tottenham at Deutsche Bank Park with contrasting Champions League objectives. Frankfurt are already eliminated and sit near the foot of the 36-team table after just one win from seven league-phase matches, leaving them on four points and outside the top-24 cut-off. Tottenham can all but secure automatic qualification to the last 16 with victory, despite a frustrating domestic run that extends to five Premier League matches without a win following a 2-2 draw at Burnley. Thomas Frank makes five changes, including Destiny Udogie, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Joao Palhinha and Randal Kolo Muani; Kolo Muani’s start is notable amid Juventus transfer links. Frankfurt’s starting XI features Santos, Buta, Amenda, Koch, Theate, Brown, Hojlund, Skhiri, Larsson, Gotze and Knauff.
