Eintracht Frankfurt host Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga on Saturday with the visitors looking to bounce back from last weekend's surprise home defeat to FC Koln.
The hosts, meanwhile, can move within three points of their forthcoming opponents in the table with a victory.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Borussia Dortmund
With Haaland out and Frankfurt having had considerably more rest than their opponents, we think the hosts can gain a first league win since early October in what should be an entertaining affair.
While Dortmund are clearly not a one-man team, they do lack a focal point without their top goalscorer, so Favre may look to play less expansively and hope to grind out a narrow victory. Hummels's fitness will be key in this regard.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Freiburg will be aiming to arrest their alarming slump in the Bundesliga when they welcome Borussia Monchengladbach to the Schwarzwald-Stadion on Saturday afternoon.
This weekend's hosts played out a 1-1 draw away at Augsburg last time out, whereas Monchengladbach overcame Schalke 4-1 before losing to Inter Milan in the Champions League.
We say: Freiburg 0-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Freiburg away is undoubtedly the fixture that the Monchengladbach faithful will be dreading given their side's record at the Schwarzwald-Stadion, but the visitors can be forgiven for feeling more confident this time around amid Freiburg's woeful spell of form. Rose's men can ill afford to lose any more players before facing off against Los Blancos, and this could be a closer affair than the form book would have fans suggest, but Monchengladbach should do enough to come out on top.
Our tipster partners are predicting that both teams will score (BTTS - yes).

Arminia Bielefeld vs. Mainz 05 (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Arminia Bielefeld entertain Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga on Saturday with both sides looking to move out of the relegation places in the table with a victory.
It will be the first meeting between the two sides since March 2007, when current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp presided over a 1-0 victory for his Mainz side.
We say: Arminia Bielefeld 1-2 Mainz 05
We expect a closely fought affair in Bielefeld, with the visitors perhaps having a little too much firepower for their struggling opposition to handle.
Indeed, with Quaison looking back to his best last week and Mateta scoring seven goals in nine league games this season, Arminia must ensure they do not gift their opposition chances as regularly as they have been of late.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

FC Koln entertain Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with the in-form visitors looking to move into the top four of the table with a win.
Koln, meanwhile, moved out of the bottom three with a superb 2-1 win at Borussia Dortmund last weekend.
We say: FC Koln 1-2 Wolfsburg
Koln's goal difference of negative five is not befitting of a side who had been languishing in the bottom three without a win until last weekend, so it will certainly not be an easy match for Wolfsburg.
However, the visitors are playing free-flowing football at the moment, with Weghorst potentially giving them the edge in decisive moments in what should be a close encounter.
Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Bayern vs. RB Leipzig (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Bayern Munich take on RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday in a top-of-the-table clash which could prove decisive in terms of the title picture.
League leaders Bayern have a two-point cushion over their forthcoming opponents at the top of the table; a draw on Saturday would be enough to keep them there.
We say: Bayern Munich 3-1 RB Leipzig
Having already had the advantage of an extra day's rest in midweek, there is little doubt that advantage was increased further by Bayern's shorter trip and ability to rest nine players in what was essentially a meaningless match for them in Madrid.
As such, we expect Flick's side to have a little too much intensity for a Leipzig side who have not been firing on all cylinders of late in any case.
Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.
