Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

The hosts exploded from the gates with breathtaking velocity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, dispatching three strikes inside the initial 34 minutes as the home side glided to a convincing 3-1 away triumph.

Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a creditable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have found the going tough on their away assignments of late, accumulating a paltry two points from the last fifteen available away from home at .

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim

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

Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's charges found the net twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a commanding 4-1 home victory.

Saturday's encounter promises to deliver an open contest.

PREDICTION: 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.

Saturday's outcome ended a modest unbeaten run and constituted a disappointing outcome to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, showed no mercy against Championship winners FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a routine 2-0 win.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to home at De Kuip eager to atone after a sobering 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and fewer scars. John van den Brom's charges have lost on a single occasion in their last dozen league fixtures.

Previous fixtures between the sides have tended to produce attacking fare, even if margins are often narrow.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's poor recent run persisted at Liverpool as they suffered a third winless game in sequence.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League reached a new pinnacle after they defeated bitter rivals Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League spots.

This is a challenging away assignment for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

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

Rio Ave have experienced considerable troubles off the pitch, which have transferred onto the field – just a single victory in their last five fixtures.

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

SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank endures intense pressure after Tottenham produced another dreadful performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that lifted the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games constitutes some sort of progress given how troubled their campaign has predominantly been.

The Reds have scored 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama struck a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's shaky at times, so this encounter should produce goals.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
