Frankfurt / Main (dpa / lhe) – Even without Mario Götze, Eintracht Frankfurt wants to land the first home win in the club’s history in the Champions League against Tottenham Hotspur. Despite the absence of the 30-year-old midfielder, the Bundesliga soccer club is going into the game this Tuesday (9 p.m. / Amazon Prime) with great expectations. Coach Oliver Glasner can once again rely on midfielder Kristijan Jakic, who has recovered from a hip infection.
The Hessians have three points in Group D, like third in the English Premier League, and a win would give them a small advantage in the fight for a place in the knockout phase. Sporting Lisbon is currently the leader with six points. The first two teams advance.
