Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the gates with stunning purpose against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, dispatching three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as the home side glided to a comprehensive 3-1 win at Borussia-Park.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's red card on the hour last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a hard-earned point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have found the going tough on their road trips of late, gathering just two points from the last fifteen available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart arrested a three-match winless sequence and find themselves within touching distance of their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's charges struck twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a comprehensive 4-1 home victory.

The Stuttgart showdown promises to deliver attacking entertainment.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Bundesliga's Elite Collide

RB Leipzig enjoyed parity for a mere three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.

That result arrested a three-game unbeaten run and represented a squandered chance to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, showed no mercy against the promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a routine 2-0 home victory.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

arrive to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a chastening 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with better form and less baggage. John van den Brom's side have tasted loss only once in their last dozen league encounters.

Recent meetings between the sides have consistently delivered attacking fare, even if final scorelines are often slender.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence persisted at Anfield as they endured a third match without victory in succession.

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

This is a difficult journey for Sunderland.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

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

Rio Ave have endured significant issues off the pitch, which have manifested onto the playing surface – just a single victory in their last five matches.

This could be an crucial encounter for both teams to halt their current form.

VERDICT: 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 abysmal performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that won the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four matches constitutes tentative recovery given how disastrous their campaign has largely been.

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

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama struck a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this fixture promises goalmouth action.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
