Borussia Dortmund host FC Koln in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the home side looking to close the gap between themselves and leaders Bayern Munich for a second successive matchday.
The visitors, meanwhile, dropped into the bottom two of the table last weekend after losing at home to Union Berlin.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 3-0 FC Koln
Dortmund have kept six clean sheets in eight league games this season, and we expect that record to improve further still on their way to a comfortable victory against Koln.
Despite struggling near the bottom of the table, Koln have failed to score only once this season, but we do not see them penetrating an improving BVB back line.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

RB Leipzig host Arminia Bielefeld in the Bundesliga on Saturday with the home side looking to get back to winning ways after a difficult week.
The visitors, meanwhile, have dropped into 16th place in the table after a dismal run of six consecutive defeats.
We say: RB Leipzig 3-0 Arminia Bielefeld
We expect a comfortable afternoon for Julian Nagelsmann's side against an Arminia side struggling to muster shots on target, let alone gain results, against the stronger sides in the division.
Leipzig's ability to counter-press should be a nightmare for Neuhaus's side, who look to play out from the back at every opportunity.

Union Berlin will endeavour to continue their charge up the Bundesliga table when they play host to Eintracht Frankfurt at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Saturday afternoon.
While the hosts have prevailed in their last three on the bounce in the German top flight, Frankfurt are winless since the third gameweek of the season.
We say: Union Berlin 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Union would be making a fatal mistake if they were to take Frankfurt lightly despite the visitors' underwhelming run of form, and Hutter's men should be able to welcome a couple more players back to the fold at this crucial time. However, Union are a side playing with unbridled confidence and a taste for goals, so we are backing Fischer's side to march to their fourth win on the trot this weekend.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Augsburg and Freiburg will both be out to register a much-needed victory when the two sides meet at the WWK Arena for Saturday's Bundesliga showdown.
The hosts played out a 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach in their most recent outing, whereas Freiburg suffered their third defeat in a row as they lost 3-1 to Mainz last time out.
We say: Augsburg 2-1 Freiburg
Both sides will know that Saturday's game is their best opportunity to bank another three points and end the month on a high, but Augsburg are sure to be feeling more optimistic about their fortunes that Freiburg. The visitors have plenty of talent in their ranks but cannot seem to get the results that matter in the league, and we expect Augsburg to just edge this one.

Stuttgart vs. Bayern (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Stuttgart host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the visitors looking to get back to winning ways and remain top of the table having dropped points at home to Werder Bremen last weekend.
The home side, meanwhile, have drawn four league games in a row, but would surely not be too disappointed if that run was extended to five against the league leaders.
We say: Stuttgart 1-3 Bayern Munich
We expect Stuttgart to battle hard against Bayern, but there is no doubt the absence of the hugely talented Gonzalez is a major blow for the hosts' hopes of gaining a positive result.
It is a year since Bayern last dropped points two league matches in a row, meanwhile, and they will be hugely motivated to ensure they remain top of the table.
Our tipster partners are predicting an away win.

Borussia Monchengladbach host Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga in Saturday's late kickoff, with Marco Rose's side looking to return to winning ways in order to move up the table.
The visitors, meanwhile, are marooned to the bottom of the league having failed to win any of their opening eight matches.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 Schalke 04
We expect Gladbach to get back to winning ways in comfortable fashion, with a clean sheet likely to be at the top of Rose's priority list.
Should Marcus Thuram and Plea both start in attack, the hosts should simply have too much quality for Schalke, who have been rocked by turmoil off the pitch this week.
