Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Wolfsburg emerged from the gates with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, firing home three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a comprehensive 3-1 away triumph.

Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, clawing back from behind to salvage a valuable point against the challenging Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have found the going tough on their travels of late, accumulating just two points from the last five games' worth available away from the comfort of Europa-Park Stadion.

PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Stuttgart vs Hoffenheim

Stuttgart ended a three-match winless streak and sit just one point behind their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's charges struck twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, cantering to a commanding 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

Saturday's encounter promises to deliver attacking entertainment.

SELECTION: 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' goal last weekend.

The draw ended a modest unbeaten sequence and constituted a missed opportunity to reduce the distance to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, showed no mercy against the Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a routine 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

Feyenoord arrive to their fortress at De Kuip looking to respond after a chastening 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

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

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's worrying sequence persisted at Liverpool as they experienced a third fixture without three points in succession.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League reached a new peak after they vanquished arch-enemies Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League positions.

The AMEX showdown constitutes a testing journey for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente looks to be running out of steam after a remarkable start to the season.

Rio Ave have had some difficulties off the pitch, which have carried over onto the playing surface – just a single victory in their last five fixtures.

Saturday's contest may prove an crucial encounter for both teams to halt their present trajectory.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

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 nothing like the team that lifted the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four matches represents modest improvement given how disastrous their campaign has predominantly been.

The Reds have struck 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Southampton vs Coventry

Jovon Makama netted a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were consigned to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the saviour for Coventry last weekend as his strike proved sufficient to earn all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's shaky at times, so this fixture promises goals.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
