Champions League: Eintracht Frankfurt VS Tottenham Hotspurs preview, Head-to-head, prediction and lineup

Antonio Conte Spurs was criticised for their somewhat quiet performance against Arsenal in a terrible north London derby, but the Italian claimed he would not modify his approach.

Spurs suffered their first loss in the Premier League in their most recent match, a thrashing at the hands of Arsenal. Harry Kane scored for Tottenham, but Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus, and Granit Xhaka scored for Arsenal as they embarrassed Tottenham's North London rivals.

In a European setting, the Italian's record is unusual. Despite being a multiple-time League champion, Conte has frequently failed to impress on the continental stage.

In contrast, Eintracht Frankfurt's season has gotten off to a mixed start. In their final Bundesliga match, the German squad trounced the league-leading Union Berlin to provide a stern warning to the visiting team.

Spurs must deliver a strong performance. Frankfurt demonstrated their prowess in Europe by defeating West Ham, Barcelona, and Rangers en route to the Europa League title last season. This evening will have a rowdy environment, and the Spurs must be on their game.

Head-to-head, this is the first time Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham Hotspur met in Europe since the Cup Winners' quarterfinals in 1981-82 when Tottenham Hotspur won 3-2 on aggregate. Before this, Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham each had one victory.

Tottenham Hotspur has lost their four UEFA Champions League matches against German opposition with an aggregate record of 14-3. There were two defeats each against Bayern Munich (2-7 and 1-3) and RB Leipzig (0-1 and 0-3).

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup

After missing the North London Derby, promising winger Dejan Kulusevski remains questionable for the visitors.

Ben Davies, who suffered a hairline fracture in last month's loss to Sporting Lisbon, is also questionable for the remainder of the season. On Saturday, there was no sign of the Welshman, increasing suspicions that the defence would miss a few more matches.

Ben Davies and Lucas Moura cannot play against the UEFA Europa League champions, but Antonio Conte could make a few adjustments to his lineup.

Hugo Lloris will start in goal as usual, and Tottenham will line up in a 3-4-3 formation in front of him. Davinson Sanchez will likely replace Clement Lenglet, and the 26-year-old will partner Eric Dier and Cristian Romero at the heart of the Tottenham defence.

Probable lineup: Lloris, Richarlison, Kane, Son, Romero, Dier, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Bentancur, Bissouma, and Perisic.

Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup

Eintracht Frankfurt has no new injury concerns, although Kristijan Jakic will miss the match due to a re-injury sustained after the conclusion of the international break.

Jerome Onguene is still recovering from an injury; thus, he will not make his Eintracht Frankfurt debut until later in the season.

Mario Gotze will not play since the German international is injured. Eintracht is now on a three-game winning streak and has lost just two of their last nine matches, but one of those defeats came against group leaders Sporting.

Probable lineup: Trapp, Kamada, Kolo Muani, Lindstrom, Ndicka, Hasebe, Tuta, Lenz, Sow, Rode, and Knauff.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Tottenham will have a greater sense of urgency since the North Londoners want to assure their progression to the next round, and a victory will lighten their load. In Germany, Antonio Conte will field his strongest team to achieve success.

Last season, Frankfurt dominated Europe and transformed its stadium into a fortress. Therefore, they will cause issues for the Spurs.

Final prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Frankfurt
