The UEFA Europa League quarter-final match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur promises to be a compelling encounter, with both teams striving for success in this prestigious competition. Tottenham, enjoying a strong home record, has remained unbeaten in eight of its last ten Europa League matches . This advantage may play a crucial role as they face an Eintracht Frankfurt side that has demonstrated formidable form in the tournament but is currently grappling with significant injury concerns. Notably, key players such as goalkeeper Kevin Trapp and midfielder Can Uzun are doubtful for the match .
Rasmus Kristensen is expected to replace Tuta with the Hessen club coming into this game following a 2-0 defeat against Werder Bremen.
There is some good news for the visitors with the return of two attackers. Can Uzun has recovered from an infection and will be named on the bench alongside Elye Wahi, who is a candidate for some minutes against Tottenham Hotspur.
Although he won’t start, Eintracht captain Kevin Trapp has travelled to London but Kaua Santos will retain his place in goal while the German goalkeeper works on his return.
Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie are competing for two spots at full-back, with the Italian seemingly most likely to miss out again after struggling for form since returning from injury.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Lucas Bergvall have established themselves as Postecoglou's preferred midfield two, edging ahead of Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and Archie Gray in the pecking order.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bergvall, Maddison, Bentancur; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup: Kaua Santos; Kristensen, Theate, Koch, Brown; Shkiri, Larsson, Tuta; Gotze, Ekitike, Bahoya
In terms of predictions, statistical analyses suggest that Tottenham holds a slight edge with a projected 52.3% chance of victory according to an Opta supercomputer . However, Frankfurt's resilience cannot be underestimated; they have only lost two of their last twenty-three matches in the Europa League. The outcome could hinge on tactical execution and player fitness on the day of the match. For those interested in live streaming options, it is advisable to consult platforms like TNT Sports and Discovery+, which will provide coverage of this highly anticipated fixture .
