Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the traps with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, dispatching three efforts inside the first 34 minutes as the home side glided to a comprehensive 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, recovering from behind to secure a valuable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have found the going tough on their road trips of late, collecting merely two points from the last fifteen available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim

Stuttgart ended a troubling winless sequence and find themselves within touching distance of their higher-ranked opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's charges scored twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a commanding 4-1 home victory.

Saturday's encounter possesses all the hallmarks attacking entertainment.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

The draw halted a three-game unbeaten run and proved a missed opportunity to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, showed no mercy against the promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a comfortable 2-0 win.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

Feyenoord return to the cauldron of De Kuip eager to atone after a sobering 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with superior momentum and fewer scars. John van den Brom's team have lost only once in their last 12 league fixtures.

Previous fixtures between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if final scorelines are often tight.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

AMEX Stadium Contest

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

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League hit a new peak after they toppled arch-enemies Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League places.

This is a challenging journey for Sunderland.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente seems to be running out of steam after a fantastic start to the season.

Rio Ave have experienced some difficulties off the pitch, which have manifested onto the field – merely three points in their last five matches.

Saturday's contest may prove an significant fixture for both teams to arrest their recent decline.

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank endures intense pressure after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at Forest to endure a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that claimed the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games constitutes tentative recovery given how disastrous their campaign has largely been.

Liverpool have scored 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

Southampton vs Coventry

Jovon Makama scored a brace for a faltering 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 turned out to be adequate to earn all three points against Bristol City.

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

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
