Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

The hosts exploded from the traps with lightning intensity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, rattling in three efforts inside the opening 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a comprehensive 3-1 away triumph.

Freiburg, by contrast, demonstrated admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a creditable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their travels of late, accumulating just two points from the last five games' worth available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

Stuttgart halted a troubling winless streak and now trail their higher-ranked opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's side struck twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a comprehensive 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

Saturday's encounter should provide goals aplenty.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Bundesliga's Elite Collide

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

That result halted a modest unbeaten run and constituted a missed opportunity to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.

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

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord return to their fortress at De Kuip looking to respond after a humbling 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with better form and fewer scars. John van den Brom's team have tasted loss on a single occasion in their last twelve league fixtures.

Recent meetings between the sides have consistently delivered goals rather than stalemates, even if the outcomes are often narrow.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's troubling form continued at Liverpool as they experienced a third winless game in a row.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League hit a new pinnacle after they vanquished bitter rivals Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League positions.

Saturday's fixture represents a testing journey for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

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

Rio Ave have experienced considerable troubles off the pitch, which have manifested onto it – merely three points in their last five encounters.

The fixture represents an important match for both teams to halt their current form.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank continues to feel considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another dismal performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that won the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games constitutes modest improvement given how troubled their campaign has predominantly been.

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

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the match-winner for Coventry last weekend as his strike proved to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's not always secure, so this fixture promises goalmouth action.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
