Edinburgh’s lone defeat in this season’s Challenge Cup was at Benetton in the Pool stage.

Narrowing the scope to just Edinburgh’s home form, it’s a much better reading for the Scottish club.

They have posted a W8 D1 L1 record in their last ten on home turf.

At home in European competition this season they have defeated Brive, Section Paloise and Bath Rugby.

Edinburgh posted a 31-20 victory over Wasps the last time they hosted them in the European Challenge Cup, which was in 2019.
