Southampton v Norwich

Southampton have been excellent recently and are unbeaten in their last nine home matches. While Norwich are desperate for points to avoid relegation, they could be outclassed on the south coast.

Hoffenheim v Stuttgart

Hoffenheim are making strong claims for a top-six finish in the Bundesliga and, after two consecutive victories, they could have too much for struggling Stuttgart, who have not won in eight matches.

Montpellier v Rennes

Rennes have lost their last four Ligue 1 matches on the road, but they have shown enough in recent home games to suggest they can see off Montpellier, who face a tougher test than their win at Lorient last time out.

Levante v Elche

Levante have boosted their chances of avoiding relegation in Spain after beating Atletico Madrid and drawing against Celta Vigo and they can continue their progress by beating Elche, who have won one of their last 11 away league games.
