Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham prediction 28.01.2026 | Champions League

Last season was a huge success in the Bundesliga, finishing third, which is their best placement since the 1992/93 season, when they also finished third. This season, the popular Eagles are nowhere near last season's form, sitting in 8th place with only 27 points from 18 matches. Due to the poor current season, Eintracht Frankfurt even sacked the coach in mid-January, but that did not seem to change anything. In fact, it looks like, as the season progresses, they are only getting worse and are at the moment on a six-game winless streak.

In the Champions League, the Eagles had a challenging schedule but had a chance to save their season in the last game vs Qarabag. Unfortunately, they lost 3:2 despite having a 2:1 lead. Now, in this game against Tottenham, they are completely without a motive and could give some key players a bit of rest. 

After a 3:1 loss to Hoffenheim, coach Dennis Schmitt spoke to the media. He said it was a deserved loss, despite starting well and taking a 1:0 lead early. The coach said they lost control of the game after the equalizer and couldn't get back into it.

Despite a terrible Premier League campaign last season, Tottenham secured its place in the Champions League by winning the Europa League. Despite winning the EL title, the club let go of coach Ange Postecoglou. This season, the Spurs picked up where they left off last season - doing great in Europe and struggling in the Premier League. They have already secured a spot in the knockout phase of the CL and are looking to stay in the top eight. However, the Spurs are in 14th place in the Premier League, already 10 points away from the top four. To be fair, constant injuries are undoubtedly a major factor in their poor performance this season. Now, for the upcoming game, they will have up to eight important players out with injuries, while four more are out because they aren't registered for the CL. 

After a 2:2 draw against Burnley, many fans called for the sacking of coach Thomas Frank. The bookies agree with angry fans as they see Fank as the second-favorite to be sacked by a PL team (behind Arne Slot).
