Cardiff Blues will be determined to keep their unbeaten record in Pool 2 and to cement their position as leaders as they continue the hunt for a quarterfinal place.
The Welsh region have won all of their three Pool games so far and will be looking to do the double over Edinburgh in the top of the table clash at Murrayfield on Friday.
The Scotish side, who lie in second in the Pool, have won six of their last eight home games in the Heineken Cup and will be looking to build on their recent home victory over French side, Racing Metro.
But the Cardiff Blues, who have beaten London Irish, Racing Metro and Edinburgh in their Pool, are looking for their first Heineken Cup quarter-finals place in three seasons.
