Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Wolfsburg emerged from the traps with breathtaking velocity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, dispatching three goals inside the first 34 minutes as the home side glided to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, recovering from behind to secure a valuable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have experienced difficulty on their away assignments of late, collecting merely two points from the last fifteen available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart halted a concerning winless streak and now trail their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's team found the net twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a commanding 4-1 win on home soil.

The Stuttgart showdown possesses all the hallmarks an open contest.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Bundesliga's Elite Collide

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

That result halted a three-match unbeaten streak and proved a squandered chance to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who dropped points against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, showed no mercy against Championship winners FC Köln as late efforts from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a clinical 2-0 home victory.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to their fortress at De Kuip seeking redemption after a sobering 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with better form and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have suffered defeat on a single occasion in their last twelve league matches.

Previous fixtures between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if the outcomes are often slender.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

AMEX Stadium Contest

Brighton's poor recent run persisted at Anfield as they suffered a third match without victory in sequence.

Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League achieved a new high after they defeated bitter rivals Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League spots.

This is a challenging away for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

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

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

Saturday's contest may prove an crucial encounter for both teams to arrest their present trajectory.

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank endures intense pressure after Tottenham turned in another dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest to experience a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that lifted the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four games represents tentative recovery given how troubled their campaign has predominantly been.

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

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected to an surprise away defeat at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's not always secure, so this game ought to deliver goalmouth action.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
