Volkswagen Arena Showdown

Die Wölfe burst from the gates with breathtaking velocity against red-hot Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, rattling in three strikes inside the opening 34 minutes as they cruised to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, by contrast, displayed admirable resilience after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal last weekend, recovering from behind to salvage a valuable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

Christian Streich's charges, however, have experienced difficulty on their road trips of late, collecting just two points from the last five games' worth available away from their fortress at Europa-Park Stadion.

SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64

Baden-Württemberg Derby

Stuttgart arrested a troubling winless sequence and now trail their fifth-placed opponents.

Hoffenheim travel to the MHP Arena riding a wave of momentum. Christian Ilzer's charges scored twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a convincing 4-1 home victory.

This fixture should provide goals aplenty.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

Saturday's outcome halted a three-game unbeaten sequence and proved a disappointing outcome to close the gap to Bayern Munich, who were held against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, for their part, showed no mercy against newly-promoted FC Köln as second-half strikes from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich secured a comfortable 2-0 home victory.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Eredivisie Heavyweight Clash

Feyenoord arrive to their fortress at De Kuip seeking redemption after a sobering 2-0 defeat away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.

Twente travel to Rotterdam with better form and fewer scars. John van den Brom's team have lost on a single occasion in their last 12 league encounters.

Recent meetings between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if final scorelines are often slender.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.52

AMEX Stadium Contest

Brighton's worrying sequence extended at Liverpool as they suffered a third match without victory in sequence.

Sunderland's return to the Premier League achieved a new peak after they toppled bitter rivals Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League positions.

Saturday's fixture represents a testing journey for Sunderland.

VERDICT: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27

Portuguese Encounter

Gil Vicente appears to be losing momentum after a fantastic 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 matches.

This could be an significant fixture for both teams to halt their present trajectory.

VERDICT: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

North London Hosts Merseyside

Thomas Frank endures intense pressure after Tottenham produced another dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest to suffer a fourth league reverse in seven.

Liverpool are far from the team that the title last season, but four unbeaten games from their last four games represents some sort of progress given how disastrous their campaign has largely been.

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

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

Saints Host The Sky Blues

Jovon Makama scored a brace for a troubled Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an surprise away defeat at Carrow Road.

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

Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's shaky at times, so this encounter should produce goalmouth action.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
