Tottenham Hotspur vs Eintracht Frankfurt
UEFA Champions League, KO: 20:00 Oct 12, 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TOTTENAHM HOTSPUR will be looking to breathe some life into their Champions League campaign when they welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to North London on Wednesday night.
Antonio Conte's side marked their return to Europe's top table in ideal fashion, opening with a hard-fought 2-0 home win over Marseille.
However, a 2-0 loss at Sporting Lisbon on Matchday Two was followed by last week's goalless draw in Germany, which has left Spurs sitting second , just one point off the foot of the section.
The capital club head into this clash off the back of a 1-0 win over Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League on Saturday, on an evening where my anytime goalscorer bet landed.
As for Eintracht Frankfurt, their preparations for this fixture were far from ideal, as they were brushed aside 3-0 by Bundesliga basement boys Bochum.
Yet, despite their domestic inconsistencies, Oliver Glasner's side are still firmly in the running to qualify from Group F, although a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will represent their toughest test to date.
Outright Betting
Despite winning just two of their last five games in all competitions, Tottenham Hotspur enter this contest as short-priced 8/15 (SBK) favourites.
As already mentioned, Eintracht Frankfurt earned a draw with Tottenham last midweek but the same outcome here is an unfancied 18/5 (SBK) while an Eagles victory is also deemed unlikely at 28/5 (SBK).
Betting Angles
Tottenham are too short to side with at the aforementioned price but merging a home win and under five match goals will bring about an appetising 10/11 (Bet 365) play.
While Tottenham have blown hot and cold in recent weeks, they have done the majority of their best work under Antonio Conte's tutorship whilst operating at their capital headquarters.
The Lilywhites have claimed top honours in each of their five home matches across all competitions this season, with three of those five victories featuring four goals of fewer.
What's more, eight of Spurs' 13 Premier League home wins under the Italians guidance last term went under the 4.5 goal barrier, and I suspect the hosts will notch a solid if unspectacular win against their German opponents this midweek.
It's also worth pointing out that four of Frankfurt's five defeats this season across all competitions have produced less than five goals, with the only exception being a 6-1 mauling from Bayern Munich.
With all this in mind, combining a Spurs success and under five match strikes at 10/11 seems like a sensible solution at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night.
After successfully backing Harry Kane to score against Brighton on Saturday, I'm more than happy to go back to well on Wednesday night at 20/21 with Bet 365.
The Tottenham goal-getter has notched in three of his last four outings on home turf and he's also on spot kicks , and that only adds to the appeal backing Kane to open up his continental account for the season.
