Borussia Dortmund return from the international break looking to respond to back-to-back defeats when they welcome Stuttgart to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday.
The hosts still find themselves well in the mix of a title challenge in the Bundesliga, whilst their visitors at the weekend are desperate for the points after a slump in form in these early stages of the campaign.
We say: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Stuttgart
Despite the continued absence of Haaland, Dortmund will be expected to return to winning ways against struggling opposition on Saturday.
Their record at Signal Iduna Park has been exceptional this campaign and this should be extended considering the quality they still possess in their ranks compared to Stuttgart, who will be looking over their shoulders after an expected defeat here.

Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to regain their early-season form when they welcome VfL Bochum to the BayArena in their Bundesliga encounter on Saturday.
A blistering start to the campaign has been followed by an alarming dip in the weeks prior to the international break, whilst the visitors' form has turned around in the opposite direction during their recent resurgence.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 2-1 VfL Bochum
The outcome of this one could depend on the potential returns of the likes of Wirtz and Schick for the hosts, with Leverkusen sorely feeling their absences prior to the international break.
Regardless of their availability, they will be expected to win this one fairly comfortably against a side of Bochum's calibre, but considering the form of the two sides we believe that the scoreline could be much tighter, with the hosts narrowly edging out their visitors.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to close in on the top six in the Bundesliga with a victory on Saturday afternoon, when they host basement club Greuther Furth at Borussia-Park.
The visitors, meanwhile, are still seeking their first win of the campaign and will be desperate to avoid a 10th successive league defeat.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 Greuther Furth
Borussia Monchengladbach have only kept one clean sheet in the Bundesliga this season, so that should give the visitors hope of finding the net on Saturday.
Nevertheless, the hosts have the firepower in attack to outscore their opponents and should have no problems in securing all three points at Borussia-Park.

Hoffenheim are hoping to make it five-straight home wins in all competitions when they welcome title-hopefuls RB Leipzig to the PreZero Arena in their Bundesliga clash on Saturday.
The hosts have had little trouble in front of their own supporters so far this campaign, whilst the visitors have struggled on the road and remain searching for their first league win away from the Red Bull Arena.
We say: Hoffenheim 1-2 RB Leipzig
Although they are winless on their Bundesliga travels so far, we can see Leipzig coming out victorious here on Saturday, with their vital win over Dortmund last time out providing them with a much-needed confidence boost.
The visitors are finally beginning to find their feet after a slow start to the campaign and we believe they will end Hoffenheim's winning streak at home in this one, particularly with the hosts likely to be without a number of first-team players.

Arminia Bielefeld will be looking to climb out of the Bundesliga relegation zone when they welcome a revitalised Wolfsburg side to the Schuco-Arena on Saturday.
The hosts finally won their first league game of the season prior to the international break, whilst their visitors have turned results around in recent weeks under their new manager.
We say: Arminia Bielefeld 0-1 Wolfsburg
On paper this looks set to be a tight affair between two low-scoring sides with relatively solid defences at either end too.
As a result, we are predicting a narrow win for Wolfsburg to continue their resurgence under their new manager, against a home side possessing little quality so far this season despite their first win last time out.

Union Berlin vs. Hertha Berlin (Saturday, 5.30pm)

As the Bundesliga resumes this weekend, Union Berlin meet old rivals Hertha Berlin at Stadion an der Alten Forsterei on Saturday evening.
An all too rare capital city derby pits together two sides looking to improve their fortunes after picking up just a point from their past two league games.
We say: Union Berlin 2-1 Hertha Berlin
A fine home record and better form over the opening months of the season give Union the edge in this local affair - particularly given Hertha's woes up front and at the back.
For that reason, the hosts can come out on top for just the second time as a Bundesliga side in this hotly-contested Berlin derby.
