Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

The hosts exploded from the blocks with lightning intensity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, firing home three strikes inside the first 34 minutes as they cruised to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, meanwhile, demonstrated considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, clawing back from behind to earn a creditable point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have experienced difficulty on their road trips of late, gathering a paltry two points from the last fifteen available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart arrested a troubling winless run and sit just one point behind their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's charges struck twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a commanding 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

Saturday's encounter promises to deliver an open contest.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Bundesliga's Elite Collide

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

Saturday's outcome arrested a three-match unbeaten streak and represented a missed opportunity to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, made no mistake against newly-promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a clinical 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

return to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a sobering 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the storied De Klassieker.

Twente travel to Rotterdam with superior momentum and fewer scars. John van den Brom's side have lost on a single occasion in their last twelve league matches.

Historical encounters between the sides have consistently delivered entertainment, even if the outcomes are often slender.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's troubling form extended at Liverpool as they experienced a third match without victory in succession.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League reached a new high after they toppled bitter rivals Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.

Saturday's fixture represents a testing away assignment for Sunderland.

SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Primeira Liga Clash

Gil Vicente appears to be running out of steam after a impressive start to the season.

Rio Ave have had considerable troubles off the pitch, which have transferred onto the playing surface – merely three points in their last five fixtures.

The fixture represents an significant fixture for both teams to reverse their current form.

SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank remains under mounting scrutiny after Tottenham produced another abysmal performance at Forest to suffer 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 games constitutes modest improvement given how catastrophic their campaign has generally been.

Arne Slot's side have struck 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.

VERDICT: 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 consigned to an surprise away defeat at Carrow Road.

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

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

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
