Wolfsburg emerged from the gates with lightning intensity against resurgent Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend, rattling in three goals inside the initial 34 minutes as Wolfsburg sailed to a comprehensive 3-1 victory on the road.
Freiburg, by contrast, exhibited considerable character after Jobe Bellingham's 53rd-minute dismissal 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, accumulating merely two points from the last five games' worth available away from home at Europa-Park Stadion.
PREDICTION: Wolfsburg to win either halves at 1.64
Stuttgart arrested a concerning winless sequence and sit just one point behind their higher-ranked 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 should provide attacking entertainment.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.43
RB Leipzig enjoyed parity for only three minutes against Union Berlin after Tidiam Gomis' equaliser last weekend.
The draw arrested a three-game unbeaten sequence and represented a squandered chance to close the gap 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 secured a comfortable 2-0 win.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.46

Feyenoord return to the cauldron of De Kuip seeking redemption after a chastening 2-0 loss away to Ajax in the venerable De Klassieker.
Twente travel to Rotterdam with greater rhythm and less baggage. John van den Brom's charges have suffered defeat only once in their last dozen league encounters.
Historical encounters between the sides have tended to produce goals rather than stalemates, even if margins are often tight.
VERDICT: Both teams to score at 1.52
Brighton's poor recent run continued at Liverpool as they suffered a third match without victory in succession.
Sunderland's return to the Premier League achieved a new pinnacle after they defeated local foes Newcastle to move within two points of the Champions League places.
The AMEX showdown constitutes a difficult journey for Sunderland.
SELECTION: Over 1.5 Goals at 1.27
Gil Vicente appears to be fading after a fantastic start to the season.
Rio Ave have endured considerable troubles off the pitch, which have manifested onto the playing surface – merely three points in their last five fixtures.
Saturday's contest may prove an significant fixture for both teams to arrest their recent decline.
PREDICTION: Gil Vicente to win either halves at 1.42
Thomas Frank continues to feel mounting scrutiny after Tottenham produced another abysmal performance at the City Ground to suffer a fourth league defeat in seven.
Liverpool are nothing like the team that lifted the title last season, but two wins and two draws from their last four fixtures represents some sort of progress given how catastrophic their campaign has largely been.
Arne Slot's side have scored 15 goals in their last three Premier League fixtures against Tottenham.
SELECTION: Both teams to score at 1.56
Jovon Makama netted a brace for a struggling Norwich side in gameweek 21 as Southampton were consigned to an disappointing reverse at Carrow Road.
Winger Ephron Mason-Clark was the match-winner for Coventry last as his strike was enough to claim all three points against Bristol City.
Southampton's defence is weak and Coventry's occasionally vulnerable, so this game should produce goalmouth action.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score at 1.48
