Wolfsburg vs Freiburg
Wolfsburg emerged from the blocks with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, firing home three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.
Freiburg, for their part, exhibited admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, recovering from behind to salvage a hard-earned point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.
Christian Streich's charges, however, have found the going tough on their away assignments of late, gathering just two points from the last five games' worth available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.
SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64
MHP Arena Encounter
Stuttgart arrested a concerning winless run and find themselves within touching distance of their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a comprehensive 4-1 home victory.
Saturday's encounter promises to deliver goals aplenty.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43
Red Bull Arena Blockbuster
held their draw for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' equaliser last weekend.
The draw arrested a three-game unbeaten sequence and proved a disappointing outcome to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.
Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, showed no mercy against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a comfortable 2-0 home victory.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash
Feyenoord arrive to their fortress at De Kuip seeking redemption after a chastening 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the storied De Klassieker.
Twente travel to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's team have tasted loss only once in their last twelve league fixtures.
Historical encounters between the sides have tended to produce entertainment, even if margins are often narrow.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52
AMEX Stadium Contest
Brighton's worrying sequence persisted at Anfield as they experienced a third winless game in succession.
Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League achieved a new pinnacle after they toppled bitter rivals Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.
The AMEX showdown constitutes a difficult road trip for Sunderland.
SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27
Portuguese Encounter
Gil Vicente looks to be running out of steam after a fantastic start to the season.
Rio Ave have experienced significant issues off the pitch, which have transferred onto it – merely three points in their last five matches.
This could be an crucial encounter for both teams to reverse their present trajectory.
VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42
Spurs Welcome The Reds
Thomas Frank continues to feel considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest to suffer 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 constitutes some sort of progress given how catastrophic their campaign has generally been.
Liverpool have struck 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.
SELECTION: 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 condemned to an disappointing loss on the road at Carrow Road.
Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his strike proved sufficient to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's shaky at times, so this game should produce attacking entertainment.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
