Overview
With only a 1-1 draw in the first leg at home, Tottenham are having many difficulties in their journey to conquer the Europa League this season. That was also a match in which Spurs had a better game, launched more shots, but could not win.
The trip to Germany is expected to be very difficult for Tottenham. In their last 7 away matches in Germany, Spurs have suffered 6 losses and only 1 win. Not to mention, they are not at their best prepared after suffering a 2-4 defeat to Wolves in the Premier League last weekend.
Coach Ange Postecoglou is under increasing pressure due to the poor performance of the "Roosters". The Australian's fate could be decided by the result of the return match against Frankfurt.
As for Frankfurt, they just had an impressive 3-0 victory over Heidenheim last weekend. This victory will help them lift their spirits before hosting Tottenham.
The sale of Omar Marmoush has not significantly affected Frankfurt as striker Hugo Ekitike has been doing a good job of scoring recently. The French striker has 21 goals and 9 assists in 42 matches for Frankfurt this season.
After a 1-1 draw in the first leg, Tottenham extended their unbeaten streak against Frankfurt to 3. In addition, Spurs have also won in Germany this season when they defeated Hoffenheim in the League Phase.
Personnel situation
The Frankfurt team could be missing up to five first-team players in the return game against Tottenham.
On the other side of the front line, like last weekend, coach Postecoglou will once again be unable to call up the duo Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin due to injury. However, captain Son Heung-min is expected to return after being absent from Molineux.

Frankfurt: Santos, Brown, Theate, Koch, Kristensen, Skhiri, Uzun, Bahoya, Chaibi, Gotze, Ekitike.
