Leipzig v Hoffenheim
Leipzig's Europa League quarter-final tie with Atalanta is evenly poised after a 1-1 draw in Thursday's first leg but they must now turn their attention back to their pursuit of a place in next season's Champions League.
Domenico Tedesco's men are among the frontrunners for a top-four berth in the Bundesliga and victory over Hoffenheim, one of the clubs snapping at their heels, could be crucial to their cause.
Fortunately for boss Tedesco he has the squad depth to rotate effectively for this contest and the return of defender Benjamin Henrichs is a huge plus.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, have a lengthy list of absentees with defenders Kevin Akpoguma, David Raum and Kevin Vogt all suspended and Florian Grillitsch among those injured.
They go into this game following defeats to Hertha Berlin and Bochum and while another looks likely, they have netted in five of their last six games and can get on the scoresheet again.
Elche v Real Sociedad
Goals have been hard to come by for Real Sociedad recently, but thanks to their watertight defence they have still collected seven points from their last three matches.
They are looking to at least secure a top-five finish in La Liga this season and victory over Elche can nudge them closer to their goal.
Elche have lost four of their last five matches and may struggle to keep tabs on the Basque side, who could welcome back influential midfielder Mikel Merino to their starting line-up.
Napoli v Fiorentina
Napoli battled valiantly to a 3-1 win away to Atalanta last time out and they can further boost their Scudetto pursuit with three points at home to Fiorentina.
That was Napoli's third league win on the spin and the returns of Victor Osimhen up top and Amir Rrahmani at the back should only bolster their chances during the Serie A run-in.
Fiorentina have been solid of late, holding Inter and Verona to 1-1 draws and edging both Bologna and Empoli 1-0, but free-scoring Napoli could simply have too much for them to handle.
