Wolfsburg vs Freiburg
The hosts exploded from the traps with stunning purpose against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach seven days ago, rattling in three goals inside the opening 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a convincing 3-1 victory on the road.
Freiburg, meanwhile, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's sending-off last weekend, fighting from behind to earn a hard-earned point against the formidable Borussia Dortmund.
Saturday's visitors, however, have endured struggles on their away assignments of late, accumulating merely two points from the last five games' worth available away from the comfort of Europa-Park Stadion.
SELECTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64
Baden-Württemberg Derby
Stuttgart arrested a three-match winless run and find themselves within touching distance of their better-positioned opponents.
Hoffenheim journey to Stuttgart in high spirits. Christian Ilzer's charges scored twice in each half against Championship winners Hamburg in gameweek 14, cruising to a convincing 4-1 triumph at the PreZero Arena.
This fixture possesses all the hallmarks an open contest.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43
Bundesliga's Elite Collide
RB Leipzig remained level for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' leveller last weekend.
The draw arrested a modest unbeaten sequence and proved a missed opportunity to narrow the deficit to Bayern Munich, who themselves drew against Mainz 05.
Bayer Leverkusen, by contrast, took no chances against the promoted FC Köln as goals after the interval from Martin Terrier and Robert Andrich sealed a routine 2-0 win.

Feyenoord vs Twente
Feyenoord arrive to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a sobering 2-0 reverse away to Ajax in the historic De Klassieker.
Twente journey to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's side have suffered defeat only once in their last twelve league fixtures.
Recent meetings between the sides have reliably generated entertainment, even if margins are often tight.

VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52
South Coast Versus Northeast
Brighton's troubling form continued at Liverpool as they experienced a third fixture without three points in sequence.
Sunderland's restoration to the Premier League reached a new pinnacle after they toppled bitter rivals Newcastle to climb to within two points of the Champions League spots.
The AMEX showdown constitutes a testing road trip for Sunderland.
SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27
Portuguese Encounter
Gil Vicente seems to be losing momentum after a fantastic start to the season.
Rio Ave have had significant issues off the pitch, which have transferred onto the field – merely three points in their last five fixtures.
The fixture represents an important match for both teams to arrest their present trajectory.
SELECTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42
North London Hosts Merseyside
Thomas Frank endures considerable heat after Tottenham turned in another dreadful performance at Nottingham Forest to experience a fourth league loss in seven.
Liverpool are nothing like the team that claimed the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four fixtures constitutes some sort of progress given how catastrophic their campaign has largely been.
Liverpool have notched 15 goals in their last three league encounters against Tottenham.

PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.56
Southampton vs Coventry
Jovon Makama struck a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were condemned to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.
Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the match-winner for Coventry last weekend as his second-half opener proved sufficient to earn all three points against Bristol City.
Southampton's rearguard remains porous and Coventry's not always secure, so this encounter promises goalmouth action.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.48
