Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

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

Freiburg, by contrast, displayed considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, recovering from behind to earn a hard-earned point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their travels of late, gathering 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 ended a troubling winless sequence and now trail their higher-ranked opponents.

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's charges scored twice in each half against newly-promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a commanding 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

The Stuttgart showdown should provide an open contest.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

RB Leipzig held their draw for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' goal last weekend.

That result ended a three-game unbeaten sequence and constituted a disappointing outcome to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who were held 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 a routine 2-0 win.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

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

Twente journey to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's team have tasted loss only once in their last twelve league encounters.

Historical encounters between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if the outcomes are often narrow.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

Brighton vs Sunderland

Brighton's worrying sequence extended at Liverpool as they suffered a third fixture without three points in a row.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League hit a new peak after they defeated local foes Newcastle to advance to two points of the Champions League places.

This is a challenging journey for Sunderland.

PREDICTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

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

Rio Ave have experienced significant issues off the pitch, which have manifested 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 current form.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Spurs Welcome The Reds

Thomas Frank continues to feel intense pressure after Tottenham delivered another dismal performance at Forest to endure a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are far from the team that won the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four games constitutes some sort of progress given how disastrous their campaign has largely been.

Arne Slot's side have scored 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.

PREDICTION: 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 away defeat at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's backline continues to struggle and Coventry's shaky at times, so this encounter should produce goalmouth action.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
