Hoffenheim take on Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Only one point separates the two sides heading into this clash, with both teams holding top-half positions.
We say: Hoffenheim 1-1 Mainz 05
Hoffenheim have won both home matches with Mainz winning all three away, so something has to give here.
With very little to split these two sides, we would not be surprised if both of those winning runs come to an end in the form of a share of the spoils on Saturday.

Eintracht Frankfurt take on Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors are still searching for their first win of the season having made a dreadful start, while Frankfurt have won two league games in a row.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Wolfsburg
With Frankfurt potentially tired after playing in midweek, we can envisage Wolfsburg avoiding defeat on Saturday.
They may have to wait before finding their first league win under Kovac, though, with a share of the spoils the most likely outcome.

Hertha Berlin host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Both sides head into the weekend in the bottom half of the table, having each won only once in their opening five games.
We say: Hertha Berlin 1-2 Bayer Leverkusen
With players returning from injury and Hudson-Odoi potentially providing fresh impetus to the team, we expect Leverkusen to end their losing run in Berlin on Saturday.
Hertha have been more solid of late, but there is little doubt that the visitors possess more individual quality, especially in attack.

Bayern Munich take on Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors are still searching for their first league win of the season, while Bayern will be aiming to return to winning ways having drawn their last two league matches.
We say: Bayern Munich 4-0 Stuttgart
We can only envisage a comfortable victory for Bayern, especially as they have dropped points in both of their last two league games.
Stuttgart's winless run is likely to continue for another week, with Matarazzo's main aim set to be conceding as few goals as possible.

RB Leipzig host Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors would move top of the table with a victory, while the hosts have only picked up five points from their first five matches, leading to them making a change in the managerial dugout.
We say: RB Leipzig 2-2 Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund's injuries could make this match closer than expected, especially with Leipzig's players likely to be keen to impress their new manager.
We can envisage goals and a potential share of the spoils, with there likely to be an extra edge in the match given Terzic's and Rose's history together at Dortmund.

Schalke vs. VfL Bochum (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Basement club VfL Bochum travel to Veltins-Arena for their Bundesliga encounter against fellow strugglers Schalke 04 on Saturday.
The hosts are yet to win in the top flight this season, while the visitors have not claimed a single point from their opening five matches.
We say: Schalke 04 2-1 VfL Bochum
These two sides, who are desperate to get off the mark, will view this fixture as a good opportunity to end their poor starts to the new season.
Considering both sides look vulnerable at the back, we expect both teams to find the net on Saturday, but Schalke may just do enough to claim a slender victory.
