Wolfsburg vs Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the traps with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, firing home three efforts inside the first 34 minutes as the home side glided to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, by contrast, displayed considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, recovering from behind to earn a valuable point against a strong Borussia Dortmund.

The Black Forest club, however, have experienced difficulty on their travels of late, collecting merely two points from the last 15 available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

MHP Arena Encounter

Stuttgart arrested a three-match winless streak and sit just one point behind their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's charges found the net twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a commanding 4-1 home victory.

Saturday's encounter promises to deliver goals aplenty.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

That result halted a three-match unbeaten run and proved a missed opportunity to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, made no mistake against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a routine 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord head back to home at De Kuip eager to atone after a chastening 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente journey to Rotterdam with superior momentum and renewed confidence. John van den Brom's side have suffered defeat on a single occasion in their last 12 league encounters.

Historical encounters between the sides have consistently delivered attacking fare, even if the outcomes are often tight.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

AMEX Stadium Contest

Brighton's troubling form continued at against the Reds as they endured a third fixture without three points in sequence.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League achieved a new high after they vanquished arch-enemies Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League positions.

The AMEX showdown constitutes a testing journey for Sunderland.

VERDICT: 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 had significant issues off the pitch, which have transferred onto it – merely three points in their last five encounters.

The fixture represents an significant fixture for both teams to reverse their present trajectory.

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank endures considerable heat after Tottenham produced another abysmal performance at Forest to endure a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are nothing like the team that won the title last season, but recent results from their last four fixtures demonstrates some sort of progress given how troubled their campaign has largely 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 struck a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were consigned to an unexpected loss on the road at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's not always secure, so this encounter promises attacking entertainment.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
