The Ospreys arrive in Parma carrying momentum and recent dominance over Zebre, having won four of the last five meetings between the sides. 

Their most recent encounter came in October 2025 during URC play, when the Ospreys shut out Zebre 24-0. 

While the teams have not previously met in the Challenge Cup, the recent trend sets clear expectations heading into pool play.

Zebre has struggled for consistency, winning just one of its last five matches. The Italian side continues to search for cohesion across competitions and now faces a Challenge Cup opponent in strong form. 

Ospreys, by contrast, has won four of its last five matches and arrives with confidence built on defensive control and improved efficiency in attack.

With contrasting trajectories and pool positioning at stake, this matchup offers Zebre a chance to reset at home, while the Ospreys look to reinforce their status as one of the stronger teams in the group.
