With both teams bottom of their respective conference tables, Ospreys and Benetton Rugby will be looking to kick-start their Guinness PRO14 campaigns when they face off in Swansea.

Ospreys will welcome a first home game of the season and hope it sparks a revival in form after conceding 91 points in away defeats to Ulster and Leinster.

The season hasn’t started much better for Italian side Benetton, who have only racked up 32 points, while conceding 73.

Benetton have come the closest out of the two teams to a win, with their opening fixture against Leinster ending in a narrow 32-27 defeat.

Speaking after their heavy 41-5 defeat to Connacht last week, Benetton coach Fabio Ongaro highlighted the confidence he has in the team despite their poor start to the season.

They have made four changes, including starts for centre Juan Brex and forward Marco Fuser.

For Ospreys, the injuries continue to pile up with eight players ruled out, while 10 others are currently at the World Cup.

Kick-off: Liberty Stadium, Swansea| 19:15 (UK) 20:15 (CET), Saturday 12 October

How to watch: Live on eir Sport 1, Premier Sports 2, DAZN and Super Sport 2

Players to watch out for: Gareth Evans (Ospreys), Luca Sperandio (Benetton)

Versatile No.8 Gareth Evans is set to be unleashed by the Ospreys and the 28-year-old will be expected to make an immediate impact following a summer move from Gloucester Rugby.

Evans made 85 appearances for the Cherry & Whites and will bring physicality with ball-in-hand against a beefy Benetton side.

The Italians have their own attacking threat in full-back Luca Sperandio. The 23-year-old scored a try in each of the first two weekends and will look to continue that run in Wales.

Key stat: Ospreys’ 53-5 defeat against Leinster last weekend was their heaviest defeat in the Guinness PRO14.
