Both encounters between Ulster and Edinburgh in the Magners League last season were won by the away side, whilst Edinburgh have won on two of their last three visits to Ravenhill in the League.
Ulster have won their last four games in the Magners League and are bidding to start a season with three straight victories for the first time since they went on to become champions in 2005/06. Ulster failed to beat a Scottish side in the Magners League at Ravenhill last season.
Edinburgh Rugby's run of six straight defeats is their worst ever sequence in Magners League history. The Scotsmen's only away win in almost exactly 12 months was 17-16 at the Scarlets in December.
