Postecoglou’s Struggle with Unpredictability
Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure at Spurs, and the recent unpredictability of his side has been a central issue. They’ve won almost as many games in the Europa League in 2025 as they have in the Premier League, and are struggling for form. For that reason, it’s difficult to be confident of a win against Frankfurt, even at home.
On paper, they should have too much for their German opponents, who have also been inconsistent. Yet, with not a single clean sheet in their last eight matches, Die Adler will sense an opportunity.
Dino Toppmoller’s side have averaged two goals per game over the last six in the UEL, both home and away. Therefore, while the Lilywhites are the favourites, they’ll have their work cut out at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
Tottenham Hotspur are almost as close to the Premier League relegation zone as they are to the Champions League. They got back to winning ways at the weekend, relegating Southampton, but their form has been dreadful. Nine wins in 20 games across all competitions is concerning, and they struggle with defensive stability.
Eintracht Frankfurt have also had their troubles. Their form in 2025 has been marked by inconsistency, with nine wins, five losses, and three draws. However, a commanding victory over Ajax in the last round will give them plenty of hope in London.

A positive first-leg performance was definitely not seen in the last 16 though, when Spurs were woeful away to AZ Alkmaar and were lucky to leave with only a one-goal deficit, but they made amends with a 3-1 win at home to book their spot in the quarter-finals.
Spurs were largely impressive in the UEL league phase, finishing fourth, and they are third-favourites to win the competition, but before even reaching the final, they will need to come through two challenging tests, as Lazio are set to await the winners of this tie, if they see off Bodo/Glimt.
This is the host’s first European quarter-final since 2019 when they knocked Manchester City out on away goals on the way to the final after one of the most dramatic second legs in Champions League history.
