Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

Wolfsburg emerged from the blocks with lightning intensity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, rattling in three strikes inside the initial 34 minutes as they cruised to a commanding 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, by contrast, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a hard-earned point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have found the going tough on their away assignments of late, accumulating just two points from the last fifteen available away from the comfort of Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

Stuttgart arrested a concerning winless run and find themselves within touching distance of their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's team found the net twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a convincing 4-1 home victory.

Saturday's encounter should provide attacking entertainment.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Bundesliga's Elite Collide

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

Saturday's outcome ended a three-match unbeaten run and proved a disappointing outcome to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, made no mistake against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a comfortable 2-0 win.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

Feyenoord head back to home at De Kuip looking to respond after a sobering 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with better form and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's charges have suffered defeat on a single occasion in their last 12 league fixtures.

Previous fixtures between the sides have tended to produce attacking fare, even if margins are often slender.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's troubling form extended at against the Reds as they suffered a third fixture without three points in succession.

Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League reached a new pinnacle after they toppled arch-enemies Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.

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

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

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

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

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

SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank continues to feel mounting scrutiny after Tottenham turned in another abysmal performance at Nottingham Forest to experience a fourth league defeat in seven.

Liverpool are far from the team that lifted the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games represents some sort of progress given how troubled their campaign has predominantly been.

The Reds have scored 15 goals in their last three top-flight games against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were subjected 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 adequate to claim all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's shaky at times, so this game promises attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
