    Last time out in Germany, both teams were responsible for missed opportunities in a match devoid of actual quality.

    Spurs secured a resounding victory at Brighton last time out, despite the death of their fitness coach, while Frankfurt is back on the road midweek after suffering a humiliating defeat to VfL Bochum over the weekend.

    Both clubs have four points in Group D, with Spurs now occupying the second qualifying slot for the round of 16. Spurs are currently ahead of their German opponents only on goal difference.

    Despite the hostility surrounding Spurs in recent weeks, Antonio Conte's squad is still third in the EPL table. It completely controls its destiny to qualify for the Champions League knockout stage.

    Tottenham hosts two of its final three UCL group games, beginning with this match against Frankfurt.

    Wednesday's triumph in front of their home fans will position Spurs well for Sporting's crucial visit.

    As for head-to-head stats, Tottenham & Frankfurt have played three games out of which both sides have won one match each, and the latest was drawn.

    Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup

    Dejan Kulusevski remained out with a hamstring strain after exercising with the team on Tuesday, but Richarlison could rejoin Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane in the front three.

    Antonio Conte believes Kane's ankle injury against Brighton is not severe, despite the England captain being substituted off at the Amex following the incident. Yves Bissouma is the midfielder most likely to be replaced.

    Spurs' formation change against Brighton resulted in an immediate improvement in midfield and a large percentage of possession, resulting in the Seagulls' first home loss in nine months. Antonio Conte will therefore be tempted to employ the identical 3-5-2 formation against Frankfurt.

    Emerson Royal, suspended for the Amex victory, is expected to return to the right wing-back position, while Ivan Perisic might replace Ryan Sessegnon on the other flank.

    Davinson Sanchez, Matt Doherty, Oliver Skipp, and Yves Bissouma are also in contention to start, although Conte has been hesitant to alter his favourite lineup throughout the season.

    Probable lineup: Lloris, Richarlison, Kane, Son, Romero, Dier, Lenglet, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, and Perisic. 

    Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup

    Mario Gotze is questionable for the match due to an ankle injury, but Kristijan Jakic has returned to fitness for Frankfurt.

    The match will likely occur too soon for Jerome Onguene, who is experiencing hip pain.

    Makoto Hasebe was omitted because the 38-year-old may find it challenging to play twice a week. However, following an outstanding performance against Spurs last week, he should return to play as the middle defender in a back-three.

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

    Tottenham Hotspur  VS Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 

    Frankfurt may have suffered a crushing defeat over the weekend, but Oliver Glasner rested several critical starters with an eye on this match. Frankfurt will put forth a more sincere effort, with those players likely to return.

    However, keeping the home advantage in mind for the Spurs, this game should lean their way toward a close contest.

    Final prediction: Tottenham 1-0 Frankfurt
