Supercomputer predicts how likely Tottenham are to beat Eintracht Frankfurt and seal Champions League knockouts

Opta’s Supercomputer has predicted how likely Tottenham Hotspur are to beat Eintracht Frankfurt tomorrow and seal a top-eight finish in the league phase of the Champions League.

Spurs head into the final phase of the league phase stage sitting in fifth place in the table, and they need a win to guarantee direct progress to the round of 16 stage.

While a draw at Frankfurt may be enough for a top-eight finish, the Lilywhites will have to rely on other results going their way.

Tottenham’s squad is down to the bare bones in the Champions League. Apart from their injury crisis, the likes of Radu Dragusin, Mathys Tel, Conor Gallagher, and Yves Bissouma are not part of their European squad.

Tottenham deemed favourites to beat Eintracht Frankfurt

According to Opta’s Supercomputer, Spurs are considerable favourites to emerge with three points from their trip to the Deutsche Bank Park.

Despite their injuries and Champions League absentees, the data analysis platform gives the Lilywhites a 50.2 per cent chance of picking up a win in Germany.

Frankfurt have been given a 25.2 per cent chance, while a draw has been given a similar probability at 24.6 per cent.

Why Spurs have a big advantage ahead of their trip to Frankfurt

The North Londoners have a major advantage ahead of their trip to Germany as they know that Frankfurt can no longer qualify for the knockout stages.

The Bundesliga side is sitting 33rd in the table out of the 36 teams, and their clash against Spurs is essentially a dead rubber for Dino Toppmoller’s side.

Frankfurt face a big game against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, which means that there is a decent chance that Toppmoller rotate his team against Spurs.
