Ulster arrives having won three of its last five matches overall and has shown mixed results in Challenge Cup play.
The Irish side opened with a win over Racing 92 in Round 1, before falling 29-26 to Cardiff in Round 2. Those results keep Ulster firmly in contention within the pool but place added importance on securing points away from home.
With both teams having split their opening Challenge Cup matches, this contest shapes as a pivotal moment in the pool standings.
The Cheetahs will look to leverage home conditions to repeat their Round 2 success, while Ulster aims to stabilize its European campaign with a complete performance.
