Tottenham will take a big step closer to qualification for the Champions League knockout stages if they defeat the Europa League champions, Eintracht Frankfurt, at home tonight. The two sides played out a lacklustre 0-0 draw last Tuesday to leave them both on four points from three games and whoever wins this evening will be in pole position to get out of the group stages.
Spurs recovered their winning momentum at the weekend with a 1-0 victory over Brighton in the Premier League with Harry Kane providing the winning goal in midway through the first half. He’ll be looking to further add to his tally this evening and hopefully earn Tottenham their second Champions League victory of this campaign.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt chose to rest players for their Bundesliga game against VFL Bochum last Saturday and conceded three late goals to suffer a shock defeat in their domestic league. That mounts pressure on Oliver Glasner’s side who know they must improve to pose greater threat to a Spurs side with questions of selection and structure ahead of this evening’s encounter.
