Bizkaia Gernika will be aiming to secure their first European win when they host fellow Pool Two strugglers Femi-CZ VEA Rovigo.
Both sides sit at the bottom of the group topped by Worcester Warriors with zero points but Los Basurdes, runaway leaders in the Spanish league, will be buoyed by their comprehensive 32-8 victory over Santboiana.
The Basque club ran in four tries in the triumph and their European top points scorer Deccie Cusack added 12 points with the boot.
Rovigo travel to Urbieta Rugby Sport Centre on the back of 20-straight defeats in the Amlin Challenge Cup but the Italians can also take comfort from their league form.
The Veneto club cruised to a 23-12 victory over Fiamme Oro Roma last weekend, with Matteo Maran and Jean-Francois Montauriol crossing for tries and Steffan Basson contributing a further 13 points.
