Volkswagen Arena Showdown

Die Wölfe burst from the blocks with breathtaking velocity against the in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach in their previous encounter, dispatching three efforts inside the initial 34 minutes as the home side glided to a commanding 3-1 victory on the road.

Freiburg, for their part, exhibited notable fortitude after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, recovering from behind to earn a creditable point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.

Saturday's visitors, however, have experienced difficulty on their road trips of late, accumulating a paltry two points from the last fifteen 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 run and now trail their better-positioned opponents.

Hoffenheim will arrive brimming with confidence. Christian Ilzer's team struck twice in each half against the promoted Hamburg in gameweek 14, coasting to a comprehensive 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.

Saturday's encounter possesses all the hallmarks an open contest.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43

Red Bull Arena Blockbuster

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

Saturday's outcome ended a three-game unbeaten run and proved a squandered chance to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.

Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, took no chances against newly-promoted FC Köln as late efforts from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich confirmed a routine 2-0 win.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord vs Twente

Feyenoord head back to the cauldron of De Kuip looking to respond after a chastening 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.

Twente arrive to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's team have lost just once in their last 12 league matches.

Recent meetings between the sides have tended to produce entertainment, even if final scorelines are often narrow.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52

AMEX Stadium Contest

Brighton's poor recent run extended at Anfield as they suffered a third winless game in a row.

Sunderland's comeback to the Premier League achieved a new high after they vanquished bitter rivals Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League spots.

Saturday's fixture represents a challenging road trip 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 had some difficulties off the pitch, which have carried over onto the field – only one win in their last five fixtures.

Saturday's contest may prove an important match for both teams to arrest their current form.

PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42

Tottenham vs Liverpool

Thomas Frank endures considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another abysmal performance at the City Ground to endure a fourth league defeat in seven.

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

Arne Slot's side have notched 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56

St Mary's Stadium Showdown

Jovon Makama scored a brace for a faltering Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an unexpected reverse at Carrow Road.

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

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

SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
