Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview – Prediction, how to watch & potential line-ups

Tottenham Hotspur will return to Champions League action on Wednesday when they lock horns with Eintracht Frankfurt in North London. 

Antonio Conte’s side returned to winning ways at the weekend as they claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League. 

Harry Kane made the difference for Spurs as he headed the decisive goal in the 22th-minute of the game. 

They are currently sitting third in the table, having secured 20 points from a possible 27. 

Eintracht Frankfurt, on the other hand, will enter the upcoming match on the back of a shocking 3-0 defeat at VfL Bochum in the Bundesliga. 

An own goal from Evan Ndicka plus strikes from Philipp Hofmann, Forster helped Bochum to a comfortable victory at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion. 

Oliver Glasner’s side have been very inconsistent in the German league this season, with three defeats and four wins currently keeping them eighth in the table.
