Benetton head coach Wayne Pivac faces a difficult selection challenge with several internationals unavailable ahead of the November window.

Benetton has lost three straight matches, including a narrow 24-20 defeat to Glasgow Warriors.
Edinburgh head coach Sean Everitt has made three changes, bringing Freddy Douglas back from concussion alongside front-row additions Alec Hepburn and Harri Morris. Douglas leads the URC with eight turnovers won, while co-captains Matt Currie and Magnus Bradbury return to the starting XV. Edinburgh won its last visit to Treviso 15-14 in January.
