Ospreys enjoy derby affairs having won five of their last seven clashes against fellow Welsh regions.

Cardiff’s only defeat in their last five matches was to Munster in last season's Rainbow Cup.

The capital side have lost just twice of their last eight Welsh derbies, both against Ospreys.

Ospreys won both encounters between the two teams last season and Cardiff’s only away victory in the fixture since their initial visit in December 2005 came nearly two years ago.
