Andy Brassell's Tip 1: Stuttgart Vs St Pauli: Friday, 7.30pm
Friday night’s Bundesliga fare is a game to be judged in the current context.
St Pauli would not often be fancied to get a result on this trip south but they are in the midst of their best top division start in club history, unbeaten with seven points from their first three games.
"St Pauli do tend to be more traditionally frugal and kept a clean sheet in their one away game to date, the derby win at Hamburg."
They do tend to be more traditionally frugal and kept a clean sheet in their one away game to date, the derby win at Hamburg.
This is a potential issue for Stuttgart, having sold Nick Woltemade to Newcastle and then lost Deniz Undav to a serious muscle injury days after, making it difficult to see where their goals are coming from.

Andy Brassell's Tip 2: West Ham Vs Crystal Palace: Saturday, 3pm
That miserable West Ham home record – no wins since late February – continued last week against Tottenham despite a bright start, and the visit of unbeaten Palace suggests little let-up is in the post.
Oliver Glasner’s team have conceded just one Premier League goal so far this season and they are yet to be breached on the road.
"Oliver Glasner’s team have conceded just one Premier League goal so far this season and they are yet to be breached on the road."
That is no mean feat when you consider their away games to date have been trips to Chelsea and Aston Villa.
They won the latter handsomely, 3-0, and the amount of chances missed in dominating but failing to beat Sunderland last Saturday suggests they will be unloading against prone opponents more in the weeks to come.

Andy Brassell's Tip 3: Lens Vs Lille: Saturday, 8.05pm
Though not always recognised as such outside France, this is a fiercely contested rivalry between these two Nord Pas de Calais near-neighbours and is one of the weekend’s must-watches.
Lens are a tough nut to crack at their Bollaert home (though they lost there, narrowly, on the opening weekend against Lyon) but are facing a Lille side that look the part under Bruno Genesio.
"Back Lille for their stamina too, with five of those goals having come in the 90th minute or later."
The coach who masterminded Champions League wins over Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid last season has got his team off to a fast start, unbeaten and the division’s top scorers with 13 already.
Back Lille for their stamina too, with five of those goals having come in the 90th minute or later.
