Stat Attack
- This is Tottenham’s first Europa League meeting against Eintracht Frankfurt, although they have lost one of four previous clashes in all UEFA competitions (W2, D1, L1).
- Eintracht Frankfurt have lost both of their two previous trips to Tottenham in all competitions (L2).
- Spurs have kept clean sheets in three of their five home games in this season’s edition of the competition (W4, D1).
- Eintracht Frankfurt have won three of their five away matches in this season’s edition of the competition (W3, L2).
Prediction
Although they thankfully avoided embarrassment against Southampton with a clinical but patient victory, Tottenham now need to step it up a gear because winning this competition is their sole hope of achieving European qualification for next season.
Eintracht Frankfurt meanwhile were just wasteful with no shots on target in their Bundesliga loss at Werder Bremen so a huge improvement is needed, although they have failed to score in just three games in 2025 which shows that they can’t be underestimated coming to North London.
I however do think that if Tottenham can play with the same intensity as we saw against Southampton then they should nick this.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
