Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the gates with breathtaking velocity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, dispatching three efforts inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a commanding 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, fighting from behind to salvage a creditable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have endured struggles on their away assignments of late, gathering a paltry two points from the last five games' worth available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

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

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's team scored twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a comprehensive 4-1 home victory.

Saturday's encounter possesses all the hallmarks goals aplenty.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

Saturday's outcome ended a three-match unbeaten streak and proved a missed opportunity to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew 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 comfortable 2-0 win.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord return to their fortress at De Kuip seeking redemption after a humbling 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente travel to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and fewer scars. John van den Brom's side have suffered defeat just once in their last dozen league fixtures.

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence extended at against the Reds as they suffered a third match without victory in sequence.

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

This is a difficult away assignment for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente seems to be running out of steam after a fantastic start to the season.

Rio Ave have had significant issues off the pitch, which have carried over onto the playing surface – merely three points in their last five encounters.

This could be an significant fixture for both teams to halt their present trajectory.

PREDICTION: 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 dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest to experience a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are far from the team that lifted the title last season, but recent results from their last four fixtures demonstrates tentative recovery given how catastrophic their campaign has generally been.

Arne Slot's side have scored 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

SELECTION: 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 hero for Coventry last weekend as his strike turned out to be adequate to claim all three points against Bristol City.

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

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
