Reeling from opening defeats, Italian side Benetton host an out-of-form Perpignan in a Saturday Challenge Cup clash. Both teams’ losing starts in the tournament leave them at the base of Group 2 with Perpignan propping up the standings. Benetton put up a brave fight in their last encounter collecting a bonus point in the 43-34 loss to Ospreys. The 15-time Italian champions are enjoying a purple patch winning their last two United Rugby Championship games. Benetton have made their home turf a fortress, failing to lose any of their games this season at the Monigo Stadium.

Perpignan kicked off their Challenge Cup campaign with a 28-12 home loss to South African side Lions. The French side has posted a torrid start to the season, winning only two games against last-placed Montpellier and Toulonnais. Their poor run of form has left them second from bottom in the French Top 14, eight points from safety. On their travels, Perpignan have been in even more dire form, losing all their away games this season.
