Volkswagen Arena Showdown

The hosts exploded from the gates with stunning purpose against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, rattling in three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as they cruised to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, meanwhile, demonstrated considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, fighting from behind to salvage a creditable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have experienced difficulty on their road trips of late, gathering merely two points from the last five games' worth available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart halted a three-match winless sequence and find themselves within touching distance of their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a commanding 4-1 win on home soil.

Saturday's encounter should provide an open contest.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

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

The draw ended a three-match unbeaten run and proved a missed opportunity to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, took no chances against Championship winners FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a comfortable 2-0 win.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord return to their fortress at De Kuip looking to respond after a humbling 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's team have tasted loss on a single occasion in their last 12 league matches.

Previous fixtures between the sides have consistently delivered goals rather than stalemates, even if final scorelines are often narrow.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's poor recent run continued at Liverpool as they suffered a third match without victory in succession.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League hit a new peak after they defeated local foes Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League spots.

Saturday's fixture represents a testing journey for Sunderland.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Primeira Liga Clash

Gil Vicente appears to be losing momentum after a remarkable start to the season.

Rio Ave have endured considerable troubles off the pitch, which have transferred onto it – just a single victory in their last five matches.

This could be an crucial encounter for both teams to reverse their recent decline.

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank endures intense pressure after Tottenham produced another dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest 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 games represents tentative recovery given how troubled their campaign has largely been.

Arne Slot's side have struck 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

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 match-winner for Coventry last weekend as his strike turned out to be adequate to claim all three points against Bristol City.

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
