Wolfsburg vs Freiburg
Wolfsburg emerged from the traps with breathtaking velocity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, dispatching three strikes inside the opening 34 minutes as they cruised to a commanding 3-1 away triumph.
Freiburg, meanwhile, displayed admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, fighting from behind to salvage a creditable point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.
The Black Forest club, however, have experienced difficulty on their travels of late, collecting just two points from the last fifteen available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.
PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64
Baden-Württemberg Derby
Stuttgart arrested a concerning winless sequence and sit just one point behind their fifth-placed opponents.
Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a comprehensive 4-1 home victory.
Saturday's encounter possesses all the hallmarks goals aplenty.
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' equaliser last weekend.
That result halted a modest unbeaten streak and proved a missed opportunity to close the gap 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 comfortable 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown
Feyenoord arrive to home at De Kuip eager to atone after a chastening 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.
Twente travel to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and fewer scars. John van den Brom's charges have lost just once in their last 12 league fixtures.
Recent meetings between the sides have reliably generated attacking fare, even if final scorelines are often slender.

AMEX Stadium Contest
Brighton's poor recent run continued at against the Reds as they suffered a third match without victory in sequence.
Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League achieved a new peak after they defeated arch-enemies Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.
Saturday's fixture represents a difficult road trip for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27
Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave
Gil Vicente appears to be fading after a to the season.
Rio Ave have experienced considerable troubles off the pitch, which have transferred onto the playing surface – merely three points in their last five encounters.
This could be an crucial encounter for both teams to reverse their present trajectory.
SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42
Spurs Welcome The Reds
Thomas Frank remains under considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another abysmal performance at the City Ground to endure a fourth league reverse in seven.
Liverpool are far from the team that claimed the title last season, but recent results from their last four fixtures represents tentative recovery given how troubled their campaign has generally been.
Arne Slot's side have notched 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.
SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56
St Mary's Stadium Showdown
Jovon Makama netted a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected to an disappointing away defeat at Carrow Road.
Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener turned out to be adequate to earn all three points against Bristol City.
Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's not always secure, so this fixture promises goalmouth action.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
