Die Wölfe Host Freiburg

Die Wölfe burst from the blocks with breathtaking velocity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, firing home three efforts inside the opening 34 minutes as the home side glided to a commanding 3-1 away triumph.

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

The Black Forest club, however, have endured struggles on their away assignments of late, gathering merely two points from the last fifteen available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.

VERDICT: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

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

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's team struck twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a commanding 4-1 home victory.

This fixture should provide an open contest.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

RB Leipzig held their draw for a mere three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.

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

Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, took no chances against Championship winners FC Köln as goals after the interval from and Robert Andrich sealed a clinical 2-0 triumph at the BayArena.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.46

De Kuip Showdown

Feyenoord arrive to their fortress at De Kuip eager to atone after a humbling 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

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

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

South Coast Versus Northeast

Brighton's poor recent run persisted at against the Reds as they experienced a third winless game in succession.

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

This is a challenging away assignment for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Gil Vicente vs Rio Ave

Gil Vicente appears to be fading after a fantastic start to the season.

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

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

SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank remains under considerable heat after Tottenham delivered another dreadful performance at Forest to endure a fourth league defeat in seven.

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

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

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.56

Southampton vs Coventry

Jovon Makama struck a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an surprise loss on the road at Carrow Road.

Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the hero for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener was adequate to claim all three points against Bristol City.

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's not always secure, so this fixture ought to deliver goals.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
