Matchday eight of the Champions League is upon us, and Eintracht Frankfurt have only respect to play for when Tottenham visit Deutsche Bank Park on Wednesday, January 28.
The Bundesliga outfit are already out of the competition, and have no chance of making it into the top 24, regardless of the result against Spurs.
Meanwhile, Tottenham have replicated what they did last season under Ange Postecoglou, sacrificing Premier League form for positive results in Europe, and they are on course for automatic qualification to the last 16, which they will formalise with a victory in Germany.

Correct score prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-3 Tottenham
Despite being defensively poor at home in this competition, Frankfurt have shown intent in the opposition area, as they are averaging two goals per game. Spurs’ back line have not impenetrable away from home in the UCL, as all seven goals they conceded came outside of North London.

Player to watch – Cristian Romero
Club captain Cristian Romero has been leading from the front in recent weeks, scoring a last-minute equaliser at the weekend to rescue a point at Turf Moor.
The defender has proven just as important going forward as he is blocking out the opposition, as he has now scored three goals in his last three appearances for the club.
Romero’s forays in the opposition box have paid off dividends, which is why he should be closely watched on Wednesday.
