Volkswagen Arena Showdown

Die Wölfe burst from the gates with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, dispatching three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as they cruised to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, meanwhile, displayed admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, clawing back from behind to salvage a creditable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have experienced difficulty on their road trips of late, accumulating a paltry two points from the last 15 available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart ended a troubling winless run and now trail their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a comprehensive 4-1 win on home soil.

This fixture should provide attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

RB Leipzig held their draw for a mere three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' goal last weekend.

Saturday's outcome halted a three-game unbeaten sequence and represented a disappointing outcome to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, made no mistake against the promoted FC Köln as late efforts from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a clinical 2-0 win.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to their fortress at De Kuip eager to atone after a humbling 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the storied De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with better form and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have tasted loss on a single occasion in their last twelve league encounters.

Historical encounters between the sides have tended to produce goals rather than stalemates, even if margins are often narrow.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's worrying sequence extended at against the Reds as they suffered a third fixture without three points in a row.

Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League achieved a new peak after they toppled local foes Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League positions.

This is a testing road trip for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente looks to be running out of steam after a remarkable start to the season.

Rio Ave have endured considerable troubles off the pitch, which have transferred onto it – merely three points in their last five encounters.

Saturday's contest may prove an crucial encounter for both teams to arrest their present trajectory.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank continues to feel mounting scrutiny after Tottenham produced another dreadful performance at Forest to suffer a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that won the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games represents some sort of progress given how catastrophic their campaign has generally been.

Arne Slot's side have notched 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama struck a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were consigned to an surprise loss on the road at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the saviour for Coventry last weekend as his goal after the break was adequate to earn all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this fixture ought to deliver attacking entertainment.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
