Eintracht Frankfurt vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Eintracht Frankfurt have won their last three games
• Tottenham have lost four of their last five games in this competition
• Antonio Conte has won 13 of his 38 Champions League games as a manager
• Kamada has scored five times across his last 10 games for club and country

Tide turning for pair

Eintracht Frankfurt lost their home opener in the Champions League against Sporting on opening night. No German side has lost their first two games on home soil in the competition since Schalke, back in September 2001.

There’s a sense that Eintracht will get back on track, having turned their season around with a run of three straight victories. Meanwhile, Tottenham’s good start has gone a little sour, with Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Arsenal their second defeat in three games. Given how Spurs have fared in Germany in recent years, it could well be three defeats in four come Tuesday night.

European struggles for Spurs and Conte

Spurs have lost their last four Champions League matches against Bundesliga sides by an aggregate score of 14-3, which doesn’t bode well for this trip. Neither does their overall record in the competition as they’ve lost four of their last five Champions League games. They’ve also lost their last three away games in the competition, including two trips to Germany.

Spurs will look to turn things around, but is Conte the man to do it? Their 2-0 loss at Sporting was just the latest European setback for a man who has almost exclusively made his name with domestic success.

Conte has managed just 13 wins in this competition in 38 games, despite taking charge of Juventus, Chelsea, Inter and Spurs in that time. Over half of those wins came against poorer European sides, the likes of Qarabag (twice), Celtic (twice), Copenhagen, Nordsjaelland and Slavia Prague. The Europa League holders are a very different test.

Eintracht to hold out

Eintracht Frankfurt have won their last three European games against English teams, including home and away wins over West Ham on their way to European glory last term. That experience should put them in good stead for this competition, especially now they’ve hit form.

The hosts pose a real threat and they have good attacking options who can trouble a Spurs side who have conceded at least twice across each of their last three games. Daichi Kamada is the standout for me, with the Japanese international involved in seven goals across his last 10 games (five goals, two assists). Back him to add to that on Tuesday.

With Tottenham and Conte worth siding against in Europe, look to Eintracht double chance for Tuesday’s clash. The hosts have form behind them and they should follow that up with a good result, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
