It hasn’t been the return to the Bundesliga Greuther Furth would have wished for, and after three months of the campaign, they are still without a win. Granted it did arrive in their previous stint in the topflight, yet Greuther Furth’s last win in the Bundesliga came all the way back in May 2013.
They will face a Hoffenheim side that have scored three goals or more on a trio of occasions this season, making a -2.0 handicap a sensible bet at 9/2.
Xavi will head into his third match as Barcelona manager with his unbeaten record intact, despite a disappointing round of Champions League action. Villarreal are the upcoming opponents for the Blaugrana, with Xavi looking to register the club’s first victory on the road this season.
No team in La Liga have recorded more draws than Villarreal this season and another stalemate could be on the cards when Barcelona visit this weekend – a 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3 full-time result between the pair comes in at 10/3.

Unlikely to continue their upwards trajectory on Sunday, PSG will be targeting a bumper victory in Ligue 1, with a win for Mauricio Pochettino’s men and over 3.5 goals in the game coming in at 6/4.
Fresh off the back of their stellar derby victory over Hertha Berlin last weekend, Union Berlin will be eyeing up a Champions League place on Sunday. Mid-table Eintracht Frankfurt are the opponents for Die Eisern, who have endured an indifferent campaign under new manager Oliver Glasner. The visitors should have too much for Eintracht this weekend, but it is still likely to be a tight affair, making a 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1 win for Union a shrewd pick at 3/1.
