Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the traps with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, firing home three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a convincing 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, fighting from behind to secure a hard-earned point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their travels of late, gathering merely two points from the last 15 available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart halted a concerning winless streak and sit just one point behind their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's team found the net twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a commanding 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

The Stuttgart showdown possesses all the hallmarks attacking entertainment.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

RB Leipzig remained level for a mere three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' goal last weekend.

Saturday's outcome halted a modest unbeaten streak and represented a squandered chance to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, took no chances against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a routine 2-0 win.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to the cauldron of De Kuip eager to atone after a humbling 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have suffered defeat on a single occasion in their last dozen league fixtures.

Previous fixtures between the sides have reliably generated goals rather than stalemates, even if margins are often narrow.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's troubling form continued at Anfield as they experienced a third fixture without three points in succession.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League hit a new high after they toppled bitter rivals Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League positions.

The AMEX showdown constitutes a testing journey for Sunderland.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente appears to be fading after a impressive start to the season.

Rio Ave have experienced significant issues off the pitch, which have transferred onto the field – only one win in their last five matches.

This could be an important match for both teams to halt their current form.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank endures considerable heat after Tottenham delivered another dreadful performance at Forest to suffer a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that claimed the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four fixtures constitutes some sort of progress given how catastrophic their campaign has largely been.

Liverpool have struck 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

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

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the match-winner for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener was adequate to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's not always secure, so this fixture ought to deliver goalmouth action.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
