Volkswagen Arena Showdown

Wolfsburg emerged from the traps with stunning purpose against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, rattling in three strikes inside the first 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a commanding 3-1 away triumph.

Freiburg, for their part, demonstrated notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, recovering from behind to secure a hard-earned point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have endured struggles on their travels of late, gathering a paltry two points from the last fifteen available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

Stuttgart arrested a concerning winless streak and sit just one point behind their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's side found the net twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a comprehensive 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

The Stuttgart showdown possesses all the hallmarks attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

RB Leipzig enjoyed parity for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.

The draw ended a modest unbeaten sequence and represented a squandered chance to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who dropped points against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, showed no mercy against newly-promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a comfortable 2-0 home victory.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

to their fortress at De Kuip seeking redemption after a chastening 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the storied De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with better form and fewer scars. John van den Brom's side have lost on a single occasion in their last 12 league fixtures.

Previous fixtures between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if final scorelines are often slender.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's troubling form persisted at against the Reds as they suffered a third fixture without three points in a row.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League hit a new pinnacle after they defeated local foes Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League positions.

This is a testing road trip for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

Gil Vicente seems to be losing momentum after a fantastic start to the season.

Rio Ave have endured considerable troubles off the pitch, which have carried over onto it – only one win 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 remains under considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another dreadful performance at the City Ground to endure a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that claimed the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four matches demonstrates modest improvement given how disastrous their campaign has predominantly been.

The Reds have notched 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.

PREDICTION: 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 disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener was enough to claim all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this game ought to deliver goalmouth action.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
