The UEFA Europa League returns with a blockbuster clash between Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur. After a 1-1 first-leg draw in London, the two-time UEL winners Frankfurt welcome the Premier League side to their fortress—Deutsche Bank Park—for a decisive second leg. With both teams eyeing a semi-final spot, this tie promises fireworks.
Eintracht Frankfurt: A Fortress in Europe
Eintracht Frankfurt has transformed its home into a European stronghold. The German side is on a four-game streak in UEL home matches, including a dominant 4-1 win over Ajax in the last 16. Their recent 3-0 Bundesliga win over Heidenheim adds to the momentum, and they’ve now registered three consecutive home victories in all competitions.
Frankfurt’s eyes are set on UEFA Champions League qualification — whether by finishing high in the Bundesliga or winning the Europa League. And with only four of their eight UEL home matches against English clubs ending in draws, there’s a strong belief among the home fans that this is their tie to lose.
Tottenham’s German Struggles Continue
Tottenham Hotspur, once semi-finalists in the UEFA Champions League in 2018/19, face an uphill battle. Their European record when failing to win the first leg at home is poor—they have only one success in their last ten UEFA knockout-stage ties under such circumstances.
The Spurs’ historical form in Germany isn’t encouraging either, with six losses in their last seven away knockout games against the German side. Add to that a shaky away form — six defeats in their previous seven away matches in all competitions — and Tottenham’s hopes seem faint. Their latest setback came in a 4-2 loss to Wolves at the weekend, with a rotated squad showing signs of fatigue and inconsistency.
Key Players to Watch
Hugo Ekitiké (Eintracht Frankfurt):
The French forward has seven direct goal involvements in the UEL this season. He’s a big-game player, and Frankfurt has won five of the last six home games in which he has scored. Expect him to be a significant threat in front of the goal.
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur):
The South Korean forward could make history by becoming Spurs’ most capped player in European competition with 68 appearances. However, he’s only scored once every 217 minutes in Europe this season, a statistic that shows his struggle for form on the continental stage.
Prediction: Frankfurt to Edge Past Spurs
Considering Frankfurt’s formidable home record, Spurs’ away-day woes, and the psychological boost of the first-leg away goal, Eintracht Frankfurt are favourites to advance. Tottenham’s leaky defence and travel fatigue might haunt them again.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Tottenham (Frankfurt win 3-2 on aggregate)
Expect an aggressive start from the Germans, and unless Spurs find a spark early, this could be the end of their European campaign.
