Volkswagen Arena Showdown

Die Wölfe burst from the blocks with stunning purpose against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, dispatching three efforts inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a commanding 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a hard-earned point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have endured struggles on their road trips of late, collecting a paltry two points from the last fifteen available away from the comfort of Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart ended a concerning winless run and now trail their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's charges struck twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a commanding 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

Saturday's encounter should provide attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

The draw arrested a modest unbeaten run and constituted a missed opportunity to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, took no chances against newly-promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a comfortable 2-0 home victory.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord head back to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a chastening 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and fewer scars. John van den Brom's team have lost only once in their last 12 league encounters.

Historical encounters between the sides have tended to produce goals rather than stalemates, even if margins are often slender.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's poor recent run continued at against the Reds as they endured a third match without victory in sequence.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League achieved a new high after they defeated bitter rivals Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League places.

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

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

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

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

This could be an crucial encounter for both teams to reverse their present trajectory.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank continues to feel mounting scrutiny after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at Nottingham Forest to suffer a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are far from the team that claimed the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four games constitutes tentative recovery given how troubled their campaign has largely been.

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

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama scored a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected to an unexpected away defeat at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this encounter ought to deliver attacking entertainment.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
