Eintracht Frankfurt and Tottenham will meet in the second leg of the 2024/2025 Europa League Quarterfinals at the Deutsche Bank Park. The UEL last 8 match between Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Tottenham is scheduled to kick off on Friday, April 18, 2025 at 00:30 IST.
After last week's 1-1 draw in North London, the pressure is now much higher on Tottenham. For Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou, this game could be crucial for his future. With their league position in dire straits, the only way to save their season is to succeed in this competition.
But Frankfurt are no easy opponent, especially when playing in front of their own fans. The German team played solidly in the first leg and continued their impressive performance last weekend.
Frankfurt continued their positive form with a convincing 3-0 win over Heidenheim in the Bundesliga over the weekend. It was their third home win in a row, underscoring their strength at home.
Aside from the Bundesliga, Frankfurt's performance in Europe has also been impressive. Four consecutive home wins in the Europa League this season, including a 4-1 win over Ajax, show their confidence when playing in front of their home crowd.
This home advantage makes Frankfurt favorites to reach the semifinals for the third time in five seasons. If they do, they will join Sevilla and Manchester United as the only teams to have done so.
Tottenham travel to Frankfurt with a poor away record, especially in European competition. They have lost six of their last seven trips to Germany in the knockout stages, failing to score in four of those five games.
Tottenham's record after failing to win the first leg at home is also not encouraging. In their last 10 attempts in this situation, they have only managed to turn things around once - when they knocked out Ajax in the 2019 Champions League semifinals.
A 4-2 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League last weekend extended Tottenham's poor away record to six defeats in their last seven games. With the league now just two places above the relegation zone, the pressure is mounting on Postecoglou.
