Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

The hosts exploded from the traps with breathtaking velocity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, firing home three efforts inside the initial 34 minutes as the home side glided to a comprehensive 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

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

Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their away assignments of late, gathering just two points from the last 15 available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart ended a three-match winless run and now trail their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a convincing 4-1 home victory.

The Stuttgart showdown promises to deliver an open contest.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

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

The draw ended a three-game unbeaten run and constituted a disappointing outcome to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who dropped points against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, made no mistake against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a comfortable 2-0 home victory.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord head back to home at De Kuip looking to respond after a sobering 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with superior momentum and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's charges have tasted loss only once in their last 12 league encounters.

Recent meetings between the sides have tended to produce entertainment, even if final scorelines are often narrow.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence continued at against the Reds as they suffered a third winless game in sequence.

Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League reached a new high after they vanquished arch-enemies Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League spots.

The AMEX showdown constitutes a difficult away assignment for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

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

Rio Ave have endured some difficulties off the pitch, which have carried over onto it – just a single victory in their last five matches.

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

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank remains under mounting scrutiny after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at Forest to endure a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that lifted the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four matches constitutes modest improvement given how troubled their campaign has largely been.

Liverpool have notched 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama struck a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected 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 proved sufficient to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this fixture promises attacking entertainment.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
