The rest of the squad makes their way out

Bill Mata leads Edinburgh out in his 100th game.

Zebre have not defeated Edinburgh since October 2018. There have been five matches in the interim.

Zebre have lost their three most recent home matches and are on an eight match losing streak overall.

Edinburgh have not won on the road in any of their last four URC away matches.

Edinburgh’s Darcy Graham is in havoc-wreaking form: he is the league’s top try scorer with eight and has beaten more defenders (22), made more clean breaks (12), and made more metres with ball in hand than any other player (442)

Linking up well with their teammates to make synchronous attacks, Edinburgh have produced more try assists than any other team so far this season (14)

Despite having scored more tries than any other team in the league (25), Edinburgh’s total points haul has been limited by their poor success rate off the tee – just 48%

Zebre make the highest percentage of low tackles, below the waist, in the league (46%)

Zebre Parma have made more metres with their maul than any other team (154)

Still in search of their first win of the season, Zebre have been a pleasure to watch nonetheless. They have made more offloads than any other team in the league, an average of 11.4 per match. Fellow Italian franchise Benetton rank in second with 9.6
