Frankfurt v Tottenham Predicted Starting Lineups for Europa League Quarter-Final 2nd Leg

Frankfurt and Tottenham will go head-to-head in the Europa League quarter-final second leg at Deutsche Bank Park on Thursday night, with the tie currently hanging in the balance.

The Bundesliga club and Ange Postecoglou’s side battled to a 1-1 draw last week before Spurs suffered a disappointing 4-2 defeat to Wolves this past weekend in the Premier League, while Dino Toppmoller’s side claimed a 3-0 win in the league this past weekend.

Both sides have got injury concerns heading into the big clash, leaving the managers with some decisions to make and this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the teams to line up.

Frankfurt Team News

Trapp set to return

Frankfurt are set to welcome first-choice goalkeeper Kevin Trapp back to the team for this fixture in a major boost, while Ansgar Knauff, Krisztian Lisztes and Junior Dina Ebimbe will be assessed ahead of the game.

Elye Wahi and Timothy Chandler are also doubts, while Oscar Hojlund, Igor Matanovic and Jens Grahle aren’t registered for the Europa League.

Toppmoller Drops Team News Update

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Toppmoller shared his thoughts on the game.

Frankfurt Predicted XI

Ekitike and Larsson to start

• Frankfurt Predicted XI: Santos; Kristensen, Koch, Theate, Brown; Tuta, Skhiri; Gotze, Larsson, Bahoya; Ekitike.
• Frankfurt Predicted Substitutes: Trapp (GK), Obert (GK), Nissen (DEF), Collins (DEF), Nkounkou (DEF), Uzun (MID), Fenyo (MID), Dahoud (MID), Chaibi (MID), Trapp (FWD), Wahi (FWD), Batshuayi (FWD).

After a positive performance in north London last week, Toppmoller is unlikely to make too many changes. Trapp isn’t fit enough return between the sticks, while Germany international Knauff will start on the bench after recovering from injury.

£95,000-a-week duo Mahmoud Dahoud and former Chelsea star Michy Batshuayi should provide depth off the bench.

Tottenham Team News

Danso available

Spurs are set to be without captain Heung-Min Son once again for this game in a blow for Postecoglou, while Radu Dragusin is out for the rest of the year with a knee injury.

Dejan Kulusevski made his return at the weekend following a foot problem and could be in line to start, while defender Kevin Danso is available again following a hamstring injury.

Postecoglou Drops Team News Update

Tottenham Predicted XI

Kulusevski and Solanke to start

• Tottenham Predicted Substitutes: Austin (GK), Whiteman (GK), Spence (DEF), Davies (DEF), Danso (DEF), Gray (DEF), Bissouma (MID), Sarr (MID), Maddison (MID), Odobert (FWD), Richarlison (FWD), Moore (FWD)

Tottenham are desperate to claim a victory in order to keep their dreams of European football alive for next season, and that should see Postecoglou go full strength.

That means Kulusevski should come back into the side while Son could be risked been if not fully fit, with £260,000-a-week duo Maddison and Richarlison benched as a result.
