Eintracht Frankfurt and Hoffenheim will both endeavour to keep their strong starts to the Bundesliga season going when the two sides lock horns at the Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday afternoon.
Frankfurt enjoyed a 3-1 victory over Hertha Berlin last time out, while Hoffenheim marched to a historic 4-1 win over champions Bayern Munich.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Hoffenheim
It remains to be seen whether or not Hoffenheim's memorable victory against Bayern Munich was nothing more than a fluke, but if last weekend's performance is anything to go by, Hoeness and his players ought to feel capable of beating anyone. Frankfurt have also impressed in the opening stages of the new campaign and boast a strong recent record against their opponents, so we expect the two sides to play out a high-scoring draw on Saturday.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Werder Bremen and Arminia Bielefeld will both be looking to build on their first wins of the season when the two clubs meet at the Weser Stadium for Saturday's Bundesliga clash.
Bremen took the spoils in a 3-1 victory over Schalke in gameweek two, while Arminia managed to overcome Koln by one goal to nil last weekend.
We say: Werder Bremen 1-1 Arminia Bielefeld
Both sides will go into this game feeling capable of walking away with maximum points, so that should make for an exciting spectacle in gameweek three. Bremen's record at home over the past year has been quite frankly atrocious, but we are backing Kohfeldt's side to battle for a draw against their strong-willed opponents.

Stuttgart vs. B. Leverkusen (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Stuttgart picked up their first win of the season at the second time of asking, but now face a tougher challenge as they play host to Bayer Leverkusen.
Leverkusen, however, are still yet to claim their first victory of the campaign, having been held in both of their first two encounters, but may feel confident of taking all three points in their clash with newly-promoted Stuttgart.
We say: Stuttgart 0-1 Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen should have enough quality to edge past their newly-promoted opponents, but given their lack of cutting edge in the final third lately, it could be a low-scoring win.
Our tipster partners are predicting that both teams will score (BTTS - yes).

Dortmund vs. Freiburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to put back-to-back losses behind them when they take on Freiburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon.
BVB suffered a shock 2-0 loss at Augsburg in the league last weekend and went down 3-2 to Bayern Munich in the DFL-Supercup on Wednesday.
Freiburg are better placed in the table after the first two rounds of fixtures, sitting a point ahead of their opponents after winning one and drawing one so far.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Freiburg
Fatigue may well be an issue for Dortmund this weekend as they play their third match in a week, whereas the visitors have had six days' rest between matches.
Freiburg enter this game in better form but they do not tend to come away from the Westfalenstadion with a positive result. That is a run we can see going on with another loss here.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

FC Koln vs. Borussia M'bach (Saturday, 2.30pm)

FC Koln have begun the new Bundesliga season poorly, losing both of their first two games, and now play host to fierce rivals Borussia Monchengladbach.
Gladbach have had a similarly stuttering start to the campaign, collecting just one point from their opening two fixtures, and look a shadow of the side that finished fourth last season.
We say: FC Koln 0-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Both teams are in poor form and, though Gladbach are obviously the superior side on paper, they are plagued by injuries, while Koln have the benefit of home advantage. Gladbach could edge it, but it's a tight call either way.
Our tipster partners are predicting under 3.5 goals.

RB Leipzig vs. Schalke (Saturday, 5.30pm)

RB Leipzig have started the season well and sit fourth in the fledgling Bundesliga table after two games, and play host to struggling Schalke on Saturday.
Schalke have endured a dire start to their league campaign and are bottom of the table on goal difference, having lost both of their opening two fixtures, and will not be looking forward to their trip to Leipzig.
We say: RB Leipzig 2-0 Schalke 04
Leipzig should win this comfortably, but may be denied a big scoreline by the absence of their regular striker and the fact that new Schalke boss Baum may instruct his side to sit deep and play for a point.
Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.
