The Scotsmen's record in their last eight matches at Murrayfield in all tournaments is an even won four, lost four, whilst they have not beaten an Irish province anywhere since October 2015.

The Ulstermen have won three of their last four encounters with Scottish opponents.

Ulster have lost just one of their last six matches against Edinburgh: 10-16 at Murrayfield in this equivalent fixture in round 4 last season.

Overall Guinness PRO12 head to head record:
Played 27, Edinburgh won 9, Ulster won 18.
