Prediction

Tottenham manager Frank heads to Germany under a great deal of pressure despite last week's Champions League win over Borussia Dortmund.

While Spurs are in the driving seat to qualify for the last-16, their Premier League form has been poor and Saturday's 2-2 draw with struggling Burnley means they have now won just twice in 14 league matches.

Their Champions League form has been impressive, with four wins, five clean sheets and only one defeat, but it feels like Frank needs a positive result as Spurs fans are growing restless.

In what could prove a boost, Wednesday's opponents Frankfurt, who sacked manager Dino Toppmoller last week, have already been eliminated and so are only playing for pride.

However, the freedom being knocked out provides, together with Spurs' fragilities, means a draw might be a likely result.

After all, Tottenham are yet to claim a victory away from home in the Champions League.
