On Wednesday night, Tottenham host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what could be a vital game in Group D, as the two teams continue to battle for one of those all-important spots in the knockout stages.
Spurs have struggled for any form of consistency of late, as Antonio Conte’s team have won just two of their previous five matches in all competitions.

However, the team from north London returned to winning ways last time out, as they recorded a 1-0 win at Brighton. The game also saw Spurs keep a second straight clean sheet.
Tottenham have taken four points from their opening three games in Group D of the Champions League. A 0-0 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt in the reverse fixture last time out in Europe means that Spurs have won just once in six Champions League outings.
However, the team from north London has also won three of their last four home matches in European football’s biggest competition.
The Eagles suffered a 3-0 defeat at Bochum in the Bundesliga at the weekend, ending a four-game unbeaten run for the visitors in all competitions.
Like their opponents, Frankfurt has picked up four points from their three group games so far in a close group.
The home draw in the reverse fixture means that Oliver Glasner’s team have picked up four points from their last two matches in the Champions League. The Eagles have also kept back-to-back clean sheets in the competition.
Frankfurt won 1-0 in Marseille in their only-ever away game in Europe’s elite football competition. The visitors will be hoping for a similarly good result in north London.
Forebet predicts that this clash will produce a low-scoring draw, which would keep the fight for a place in the last 16 of the competition wide open.
