Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to record successive league victories under their new boss Xabi Alonso when they travel to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The hosts, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats in the past week.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-3 Bayer Leverkusen
We can envisage Frankfurt's defensive injuries causing them major problems on Saturday, with Leverkusen likely to be expose their opponents' weaknesses in transition.
While the visitors suffered a setback against Porto in midweek, they were clinical in Alonso's first game in charge against Schalke last week, and will be confident of going on a decent domestic run under the Spaniard.

Borussia Monchengladbach could move as high as second in the Bundesliga table if they can find a way to beat Wolfsburg on Saturday.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be hoping to put further distance between themselves and the relegation places.
We say: Wolfsburg 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
With the visitors likely to be missing several key players due to injury, we expect Wolfsburg to extend their unbeaten run to three matches on Saturday.
However, Gladbach's starting XI should be more than strong enough to help them avoid defeat, too, with both sides likely to be content with a share of the spoils.

The bottom two sides in the Bundesliga meet at the Mercedes-Benz Arena as managerless Stuttgart play host to basement club VfL Bochum on Saturday.
The visitors secured their first win of the season last time out, while the hosts are the only remaining Bundesliga club who are yet to claim maximum points this term.
We say: Stuttgart 1-1 VfL Bochum
Both Stuttgart and Bochum will view this fixture as a good opportunity to get some points on the board as they bid to climb up the table and away from the relegation zone.
However, with little to separate these two teams, a score draw could be on the cards this weekend.

Werder Bremen will have the chance to move second in the Bundesliga by beating Mainz 05 on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, need a victory to move into the top half of the table.
We say: Werder Bremen 2-1 Mainz 05
Bremen seem like a much more settled unit than Mainz, who may be struggling with the unavailability of a few key players.
In the shape of their front two, the hosts have more firepower than the majority of teams in the division on current form, and we can see them ending Saturday in second position by gaining a win.

RB Leipzig will be aiming to move into the top half of the Bundesliga when they host Hertha Berlin in Saturday's evening kickoff slot.
The visitors, meanwhile, are unbeaten in five matches, although their last four games have all ended as draws.
We say: RB Leipzig 2-1 Hertha Berlin
Hertha will be the fresher team having not played in midweek and they should make life difficult for Leipzig, especially having put together an impressive unbeaten run.
However, there is little doubt that the hosts have much greater attacking firepower, and this should help them secure a narrow victory.
