Frankfurt vs Tottenham Prediction and Analysis: Deadly Counter-Attack

Latest team news for Frankfurt vs Tottenham

Frankfurt welcomed back Can Uzun and Elye Wahi to their attack last week, but will still be without key player Ansgar Knauff due to a knee injury.

Goalkeeper Kaua Santos – who performed excellently in the first leg – is likely to continue as the starting goalkeeper, as Kevin Trapp is still recovering from a shin injury, and Jens Grahl is not included in the squad for the European Cup.

Oscar Hojlund was used in the match against Heidenheim, while players like Hugo Larsson and Mario Gotze were rested to conserve energy for the second leg. However, Hojlund was not registered for the Europa League and therefore will not be able to participate.

On the Tottenham side, captain Son Heung-min's participation remains uncertain due to a foot injury, which caused him to miss the match against Wolves and puts him at risk of missing the opportunity to set a new club record for most appearances in European competitions (68 matches). However, manager Postecoglou believes he can recover in time.

Wilson Odobert didn't play last weekend simply to rest, while Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, and Micky van de Ven were also given a rest and were on the bench at Molineux.

Dejan Kulusevski returned last weekend and could start this match, especially in Son's absence. However, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin are still unavailable due to injuries in the defense.

Latest football match prediction: Frankfurt vs Tottenham

Tottenham had the worst possible start to the first leg when Hugo Ekitike put Frankfurt ahead after just six minutes. However, the home side gradually regained control of the game and equalized before halftime thanks to a goal from Pedro Porro.

However, Frankfurt's young and inexperienced goalkeeper, Kaua Santos, proved to be an impenetrable barrier, thwarting every Spurs chance in the second half and helping the German team leave London with a valuable draw ahead of the second leg.

Frankfurt's morale was further boosted after their 3-0 victory over Heidenheim last weekend, a perfect warm-up for their midweek clash with Tottenham.

This was also Frankfurt's third consecutive home win, solidifying their position in the Bundesliga top four with a five-point lead, virtually guaranteeing them a Champions League spot next season, even if they don't win the Europa League.

Notably, Frankfurt have been even more impressive at home in continental competitions, winning all four matches this season, including a 4-1 victory over Ajax and easy wins against RFS, Slavia Prague, and Ferencvaros – all without conceding a goal.

Thanks to that achievement, Frankfurt entered the second leg as the favorites in the race to reach the Europa League semi-finals for the third time in history – something only Sevilla and Manchester United have done more of so far.

Frankfurt have only beaten Tottenham once in five European encounters, and that victory came in 1982 in the quarter-finals of the Cup Winners' Cup, with a score of 2-1.

History is also not on Spurs' side, as they have lost 6 of their last 7 away matches in Germany in the knockout rounds of European cups, and failed to score in 4 of their last 5 games in that run.

The last time Tottenham traveled to Germany was in the 2020 Champions League Round of 16, where they were defeated 3-0 by RB Leipzig. Failing to win the first leg at home further diminishes Spurs' chances of progressing.

The comeback victory against Ajax in the 2019 Champions League semi-final was the only time in their last 10 encounters that Spurs have advanced to the knockout stage after failing to win the first leg at home. They have also lost five of their last seven away games in Europe – a statistic that shows why they are considered the underdogs in this second leg.

Tottenham's 2-4 defeat to Wolves last weekend was their sixth loss in their last seven away games across all competitions, leaving them 15th in the Premier League, just two points above the relegation zone.

Coach Postecoglou is under pressure to win the Europa League this season, as his current position in the domestic league could have led to his early dismissal if not for his success in the cup competitions.
