Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is relishing the chance to book his place in the Champions League last 16 amid their poor league form.
Spurs drew 2-2 with Burnley at the weekend, seeing them drop to 14th in the Premier League, although a win over Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday would guarantee their place in the Champions League last 16.
Spurs have faced Frankfurt on six occasions in major European competitions, with Feyenoord (eight) being the only opponent they have faced more frequently.
They have lost just one of those six games against the Bundesliga team (W3 D2), while they are unbeaten in their last four, all since 2022-23 (W2 D2).
Spurs have won their last two Champions League games and are looking for three wins in a row for the first time since November 2019, while they last won three in a row with a clean sheet in April 2019.
“For me, tomorrow I see an opportunity that we want to do everything we can to seize with both hands,” Frank said.
“I’m very happy that the team and the club are in a position where, with a win tomorrow, we can finish in the top eight in the best club tournament in the world, and it’s super, super competitive, as we know.
“We are very, very positive and we hope for that. So that’s what we’re focusing on as much as we can.
“The players are giving everything. But for me, it’s all about Frankfurt. It’s all about the opportunity ahead of us.”
Frank also provided an update on Randal Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert, who were involved in a car accident on Tuesday.
“Kolo Muani and Wilson Odobert are fine. Unfortunately, they both suffered a minor accident. Everyone else involved in that accident was fine. It was a tire blowout,” Frank added.
“That’s my absolute knowledge of everything. I haven’t talked to them personally yet, because the first thing we heard, the first message, is that they’re fine. And nothing happened, like I said the first time. I hope they’re both available.”
