UEL • Waldstadion Chaos
LAY
Frankfurt to win
Eintracht Frankfurt
Form: W W L D WFrankfurt under Dino Toppmöller have evolved into a transitional nightmare. They don’t care much for keeping the ball; they care about what happens the second they win it. With Marmoush and Ekitike leading the line, they possess the raw speed and clinical edge to punish any defense that leaves grass behind them.
The Waldstadion crowd is their 12th man, and on European nights, it’s a cauldron of noise that can rattle even the most experienced teams. They will set traps in the midfield, hoping to catch Spurs’ inverted full-backs out of position and trigger vertical lunges toward Vicario’s goal.
Vibe check: They are “The Diva of the Main” for a reason. They can be inconsistent, but in big European spotlights, they find a different gear. Expect them to bypass the Spurs press entirely by going long to the channels early and often.
Tottenham Hotspur
Form: W L W W DTottenham will play a high line that sits nearly at the halfway line, regardless of the opponent. It’s a gamble that relies on Micky van de Ven’s recovery speed and a relentless waves-of-attack philosophy. When it clicks, it’s the most exciting football in London.
Tactically, they want to pin Frankfurt in their own box. Maddison and Kulusevski will drift inside to create overloads, while Son and Brennan Johnson hold the width. They will dominate possession (likely >65%), but every misplaced pass in the final third will feel like a heart attack for the traveling fans.
Casual vibe: Spurs are playing with no handbrake. They are happy to win 4-3 or lose 3-2. They don’t do “boring,” and they certainly don’t do “pragmatic.” Expect them to try and out-run Frankfurt in what will essentially become a 90-minute track meet.

Team News
Frankfurt Absentees
-
Mario Götze (Hamstring) The veteran’s composure and experience in big European nights will be missed in the second half.
-
Robin Koch (Knock) A late fitness test for the captain; his absence would leave a huge leadership void in the backline.
Tottenham Absentees
-
Micky van de Ven (Muscle) CRITICAL. Without his recovery speed, Spurs’ high line becomes a massive liability against Frankfurt’s pace.
-
Rodrigo Bentancur (Suspended) Yellow card accumulation. Spurs lose their primary ball-winner in the center of the park.
