Runaway Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen travel to the RheinEnergieStadion to face rivals FC Koln in a Rhineland derby on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso's record-breakers made it 33 games unbeaten last weekend, beating Bayern Munich's previous best of 32, and they are big favourites again even if form does go out of the window for a local derby.
We say: FC Koln 0-3 Bayer Leverkusen
Nothing can stop Leverkusen at the moment, as even when they are off-colour they are still picking up results, as they did against Mainz last time out, and another win is on the cards.
Koln have not beaten a side at the top of the Bundesliga in their last 23 attempts, and they have shown little signs of changing that heading into this one, despite a respectable draw last weekend.

Hoffenheim vs. Werder Bremen (Sunday, 4.30pm)

Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen round off the Bundesliga weekend when they meet at the PreZero Arena on Sunday evening.
Both sides are locked level on 30 points and within reach of Eintracht Frankfurt in the final guaranteed European position, despite differing form recently.
We say: Hoffenheim 1-1 Werder Bremen
Bremen's excellent recent away form has lifted them into European contention, but a draw with Darmstadt last weekend exposed their shortcomings again.
Hoffenheim have struggled on home soil but should bring plenty of confidence into this tight encounter after winning at Dortmund last weekend.
