Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Wolfsburg emerged from the blocks with breathtaking velocity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, rattling in three efforts inside the first 34 minutes as the home side glided to a convincing 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, recovering from behind to secure a creditable point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have experienced difficulty on their travels of late, accumulating a paltry two points from the last 15 available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim

Stuttgart ended a troubling winless streak and sit just one point behind their higher-ranked opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's charges struck twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a comprehensive 4-1 win on home soil.

The Stuttgart showdown should provide .

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

RB Leipzig enjoyed parity for just three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.

The draw arrested a modest unbeaten run and represented a squandered chance to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, took no chances against the promoted FC Köln as late efforts from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a routine 2-0 home victory.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

Feyenoord head back to home at De Kuip eager to atone after a humbling 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the storied De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with superior momentum and less baggage. John van den Brom's team have suffered defeat only once in their last twelve league encounters.

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence persisted at Anfield as they suffered a third match without victory in succession.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League achieved a new pinnacle after they vanquished bitter rivals Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League places.

Saturday's fixture represents a challenging road trip for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Primeira Liga Clash

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

Rio Ave have endured some difficulties off the pitch, which have transferred onto the playing surface – only one win in their last five matches.

The fixture represents an crucial encounter for both teams to arrest their present trajectory.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank endures mounting scrutiny after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at Forest to suffer a fourth league defeat in seven.

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

The Reds 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 scored a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an surprise reverse at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener turned out to be enough to earn all three points against Bristol City.

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
