Wolfsburg will be looking to make it three wins in a row when they welcome fellow European hopefuls Hoffenheim to the Volkswagen Arena on Saturday.
The hosts have quickly turned results around after a dreadful run of form, whilst the visitors have returned to winning ways themselves following their 2-0 triumph last weekend.
We say: Wolfsburg 1-1 Hoffenheim
There is very little to choose between these two sides as we head into Saturday's clash, with both recently ending their poor runs of form and both possessing similar qualities on their day.
As a result, we are predicting for the two teams to cancel each other out and finish level at the Volkswagen Arena.

Saturday's Bundesliga action includes a big relegation battle between Stuttgart and VfL Bochum at the Mercedes Benz Arena.
The hosts remain in a desperate situation during their awful run of form, whilst the visitors continued their rise away from danger with an outstanding victory last weekend.
We say: Stuttgart 1-1 VfL Bochum
Stuttgart's dreadful run of form, and Bochum's high level of confidence following last weekend, mean we cannot see the hosts picking up a vital three points on Saturday.
The visitors would be pleased with a point, so we can see them putting in a stubborn display to come away level at the Mercedes Benz Arena.

Augsburg vs. Freiburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Augsburg and Freiburg go into their meeting on Saturday with very different aspirations between now and the end of the Bundesliga season.
The hosts remain in the relegation playoff spot following their defeat last weekend, whilst the visitors continue to fight for the top four despite their stuttering run of form either side of the New Year.
We say: Augsburg 1-1 Freiburg
A fairly common result for both of these sides this season has been a 1-1 draw, so that is what we are predicting for it to finish on Saturday.
Freiburg could well nick it, but it is unlikely to be an open and high scoring encounter between two sides relatively quiet on the goals front at both ends of the pitch.

Having both suffered Bundesliga defeats last weekend, relegation battlers Arminia Bielefeld and top six contenders Union Berlin clash at the SchucoArena on Saturday.
While Union posted a second straight loss after a previously positive start to 2022, their hosts saw their best run of form this term ended by high-flying Hoffenheim.
We say: Arminia Bielefeld 0-1 Union Berlin
Union can arrest their slide at Arminia's expense, as they tend to fare well enough on their travels, while the hosts generally do better outside of Bielefeld.
The visitors have been short of punch in the final third over the past fortnight, but should have enough guile to strike at least once and return to the capital with maximum points.

FC Koln and Eintracht Frankfurt head into their Bundesliga clash on Saturday separated by just one point in the table, with both sides fighting it out for the European places.
The hosts have endured a mixed start to the New Year following their defeat last weekend, whilst the visitors suffered a loss themselves to add to their struggles in 2022.
We say: FC Koln 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Koln's strong home form, and Frankfurt's struggles so far this year, mean we are predicting a narrow win for the hosts on Saturday.
Goals are to be expected between two sides that struggle to keep many clean sheets, whilst they also remain fairly prolific in front of goal at the other end as well.
