Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt

10/11 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning With Barcelona all but qualified, expect a free-flowing match as Dortmund push for a consolation. The German side are vulnerable at the back, and Barca’s forwards are in devastating form. The hosts might get on the scoresheet, but Barcelona should dominate overall. Back goals—lots of them—at the Signal Iduna Park.

Key Stats:
- Tottenham have scored 3+ goals in three of their last four home Europa League games.
- Frankfurt have conceded at least twice in seven of their last 11 away matches.
- Spurs are unbeaten in five of their six Europa League games at home this season.
Rationale
Tottenham’s ambitions this season now hinge on European success, and Thursday’s clash against Eintracht Frankfurt represents a critical opportunity to keep those hopes alive. Although their domestic campaign has been a rollercoaster, Spurs have shown they can turn up when it matters most in Europe, especially on home soil. Their only quarter-final first-leg win in European competition came against Manchester City in 2019, and they’ll need something similar here to boost belief and calm the noise surrounding Postecoglou.
The north London side were far from convincing in the previous round away at AZ Alkmaar, but they responded at home with a commanding 3-1 victory. With Son, Maddison, and Solanke forming a potent attacking trio, there’s plenty of creativity and firepower available. Frankfurt, on the other hand, arrive with a host of issues. They’ve won just five of their last 13 fixtures and head to London without key figures such as Elye Wahi and Kevin Trapp.
Moreover, the Bundesliga outfit have conceded twice or more in seven of their last 11 away matches. Their backline could struggle to contain Spurs’ pace and sharp movement in transition. Although Frankfurt are a strong Europa League side historically, their current form and lack of depth will be severely tested under the lights in north London. Tottenham may be flawed, but their home European form – four wins and one draw this term – speaks for itself.
Best bet – Tottenham to Win and Over 2.5 Goals
