Table of Contents
Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Tottenham to Deutsche Bank Park on Wednesday night 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.
Pressure has begun to mount on head coach Thomas Frank, particularly with a demanding run of domestic fixtures on the horizon, but Spurs have found consistency in Europe when it has mattered most.
The Lilywhites have won three of their last four Champions League matches and currently sit inside the top eight of the league-phase standings, placing them firmly on course for direct qualification.

Eintracht Frankfurt remain without Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga, who is expected to be sidelined until February with a muscular injury.
Michy Batshuayi is also unavailable as he continues his recovery from a broken ankle, further limiting attacking options for the hosts.
Tottenham will assess Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero after both were forced off during the draw at Burnley, though neither injury is thought to be serious.
Lucas Bergvall has joined the list of longer-term absentees after picking up an ankle issue in Spurs’ last Champions League outing.
James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison all remain sidelined, leaving Dominic Solanke expected to lead the line once again.
