The scene is set for a tantalising match-up between these two sides in Treviso, with Benetton looking to build on their first win of the campaign last time out against Conference B’s highest scorers, Edinburgh.

Last year’s quarter-finalists survived a thrilling comeback attempt from Isuzu Southern Kings to get their season up and running in Round 4, and will be confident of adding to their tally having lost just twice at Stadio Monigo in any competition since this weekend last season.

But Richard Cockerill’s men will be no walkover and with 129 points scored and three wins from their first four matches, the Scotsmen will be eager to strengthen their league credentials at this early stage.

Benetton have made six changes to their 23 from last weekend, including Jayden Hayward coming in at full-back and Tommaso Allan at fly-half.

Edinburgh welcome back a quartet of Scotland internationals to their XV – Jamie Bhatti, Lewis Carmichael, Magnus Bradbury and Damien Hoyland – and last season’s golden boot winner, Jaco van der Walt.

Kick-off: At Stadio Monigo, Treviso | KO 17:15 (UK) / 18:15 (ITA), Saturday 2 November

Players to watch out for: Federico Ruzza (Benetton), Mark Bennett (Edinburgh)

Benetton were somewhat fortunate to cling on to their lead against Southern Kings last weekend, making replacement Ruzza’s try all the more important in getting them off the mark.

The 25-year-old could once again prove to be a prominent weapon off the bench as he looks to bolster his team’s fortunes and his own hopes of a starting berth.

Edinburgh have been blistering in attack so far this season and Bennett has been central to their threat, bagging five tries already.

The former Sevens star will be among the likely candidates to punish any holes in the Benetton defence to help steer his side to victory.

Key stat: Edinburgh’s last four matches against Italian opponents have all been won by the home side on the day, while they have won just once on their last four visits to Italy.

Benetton: Jayden Hayward, Ratuva Tavuyara, Ignacio Brex, Tommaso Benvenuti, Angelo Esposito, Tommaso Allan, Dewaldt Duvenage, Federico Zani, Tomas Baravalle, Tiziano Pasquali, Irné Herbst, Eli Snyman, Sebastian Negri, Abraham Steyn, Toa Halafihi
