Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

The hosts exploded from the blocks with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, rattling in three efforts inside the opening 34 minutes as they cruised to a commanding 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, clawing back from behind to salvage a valuable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their away assignments of late, collecting merely two points from the last five games' worth available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart ended a three-match winless streak and sit just one point behind their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's charges found the net twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a convincing 4-1 win on home soil.

This fixture promises to deliver goals aplenty.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen

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

The draw ended a three-match unbeaten sequence and constituted a squandered chance to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, showed no mercy against the promoted FC Köln as late efforts from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a clinical 2-0 win.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord arrive to the cauldron of De Kuip eager to atone after a sobering 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with better form and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have lost only once in their last 12 league fixtures.

Recent between the sides have tended to produce attacking fare, even if the outcomes are often slender.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's poor recent run persisted at against the Reds as they endured a third winless game in a row.

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

This is a testing away assignment for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

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

Rio Ave have had significant issues off the pitch, which have transferred onto it – merely three points in their last five fixtures.

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

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank remains under intense pressure after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are a shadow of the team that claimed the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four matches demonstrates modest improvement given how disastrous their campaign has generally been.

The Reds have scored 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were consigned to an surprise loss on the road at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the match-winner for Coventry last weekend as his goal after the break turned out to be enough to secure all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this fixture should produce goals.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
