They will face each other in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinals at 4 a.m. on the 11th (Korea time). If you look at each league standings, Frankfurt is expected to win by a landslide.
Frankfurt is a strong team in Germany's Bundesliga. He is in third place in the Bundesliga after Bayern Munich, which leads the league this season, and Bayer Leverkusen, who is in second place.
Tottenham, on the other hand, is having a disastrous season in 14th place in the English Premier League (EPL).
Variables exist. Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, is putting all its remaining power into the Europa League this season. Most of the team's main players also returned to normal power after returning.
In other words, Frankfurt will not consider Tottenham as a pushover. It seems that they have prepared a proper tactic.
Frankfurt's sporting director Marcus Crochet said Frankfurt will defend itself against Tottenham.
The plan is to withstand Tottenham's forward pressure and threaten Tottenham in a counterattack.
Tottenham hopes to win by a wide margin as the first game is a home game, greatly increasing their chances of advancing to the semifinals.
"We have to play consistent and good defense to stop dangerous strikers, and Tottenham won't give us the lead easily," Crochet said in an interview with a German media outlet. "We have to prepare well for our counterattack chances when we take the ball away."

To that end, Frankfurt's defensive triangles Artur Teate, Robin Koch and Rasmus Christensen were expected to be busy throughout the game.
They are regarded as good-minded defenders. The expectation was that it would be able to block Tottenham's attack.
Crochet described them as bodyguards to prevent Tottenham's attackers, including Son Heung-min and Dominic Solanke.
Tottenham will play this game with a lot of pressure.
This is because the only way Coach Postecoglou can keep his position in the current situation is to win the Europa League. If he loses this game, Coach Postecoglou is likely to be replaced.
It is also an important opportunity for Son Heung-min, who has been at the center of criticism continuously this season. It is an opportunity to completely turn around the team's poor performance this season by winning the Europa League.
It is important for Tottenham to win the Europa League in order to reorganize next season. This is because they can secure qualification for the UEFA Champions League.
This is an opportunity to not only provide financial help to the team but also significantly increase the team's attractiveness in the summer transfer market.
Dejan Klusevski, who has been reborn as an ace this season, is unable to play due to injury. Son Heung-min's shoulders are bound to be heavy on the offensive side.
