Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the gates with stunning purpose against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, dispatching three efforts inside the opening 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, for their part, displayed notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, fighting from behind to secure a creditable point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have found the going tough on their away assignments of late, collecting merely two points from the last 15 available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

Stuttgart arrested a troubling winless sequence and sit just one point behind their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's charges scored twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a convincing 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

The Stuttgart to deliver attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

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

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, made no mistake against Championship winners FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a comfortable 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a humbling 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente travel to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have tasted loss on a single occasion in their last twelve league matches.

Recent meetings between the sides have tended to produce entertainment, even if margins are often tight.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

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

Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League reached a new high after they toppled arch-enemies Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League spots.

This is a challenging away assignment for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Primeira Liga Clash

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

Rio Ave have endured significant issues off the pitch, which have carried over onto the playing surface – only one win in their last five fixtures.

The fixture represents an crucial encounter for both teams to arrest their current form.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank endures mounting scrutiny after Tottenham produced another abysmal performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league loss 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 matches represents tentative recovery given how catastrophic their campaign has largely been.

Arne Slot's side have scored 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned 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 enough to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's shaky at times, so this fixture promises goals.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
