Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Wolfsburg emerged from the gates with breathtaking velocity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, dispatching three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a convincing 3-1 away triumph.

Freiburg, meanwhile, displayed admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, fighting from behind to secure a valuable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have found the going tough on their travels of late, gathering merely two points from the last 15 available away from the comfort of Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim

Stuttgart arrested a three-match winless run and find themselves within touching distance of their higher-ranked opponents.

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

Saturday's encounter promises to deliver attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

RB Leipzig held their draw for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.

Saturday's outcome halted a modest unbeaten streak and proved a missed opportunity to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who dropped points against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, showed no mercy against Championship winners FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a clinical 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord arrive to their fortress at De Kuip looking to respond after a sobering 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente travel to Rotterdam with better form and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's side have suffered defeat on a single occasion in their last 12 league matches.

Historical encounters between the sides have consistently delivered goals rather than stalemates, even if the outcomes are often tight.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence persisted at Anfield as they endured a third winless game in succession.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League achieved a new peak after they toppled arch-enemies Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.

Saturday's fixture represents a challenging road trip for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Primeira Liga Clash

Gil Vicente seems to be running out of steam after a impressive start to the season.

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

Saturday's contest may prove an crucial encounter for both teams to reverse their current form.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank continues to feel considerable heat after Tottenham delivered another abysmal performance at Forest to endure a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that lifted the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four matches constitutes tentative recovery given how disastrous their campaign has predominantly been.

Liverpool have scored 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Southampton vs Coventry

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an surprise reverse at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his strike was sufficient to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's not always secure, so this game promises goalmouth action.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
