Ulster boss Brian McLaughlin has made just one change to his line up for the return fixture against Aironi in the Heineken Cup.
Ulster recorded a 31-10 victory over the Italians at Ravenhill, but they will face a much sterner examination of their last-eight hopes at the Stadio Brianteo.
The solitary switch from that win comes in the front row, with Tom Court preferred to Paddy McAllister.
Aironi welcome back a trio of Italy internationals to their starting XV, with Quintin Geldenhuys, Andrea Masi and Luciano Orquera.
Gabriel Pizarro, Ruggero Trevisan, and Giovanbattista Venditti also come into the line-up for the winless outfit.
Aironi: 15 Ruggero Trevisan, 14 Sinoti Sinoti, 13 Andrea Masi, 12 Gabriel Pizarro, 11 Giovanbattista Venditti, 10 Luciano Orquera, 9 Tyson Keats, 1 Salvatore Perugini, 2 Fabio Ongaro, 3 Lorenzo Romano, 4 Quintin Geldenhuys, 5 Marco Bortolami, 6 Nicola Cattina, 7 Simone Favaro, 8 Josh Sole.
Replacements: 16 Tommaso D'Apice , 17 Alberto de Marchi, 18 Fabio Staibano, 19 George Biagi, 20 Filippo Ferrarini, 21 Tito Tebaldi, 22 Naas Olivier, 23 Roberto Quartaroli,
Ulster: 15 Adam D'Arcy, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Nevin Spence, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Ian Humphreys, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Pedrie Wannenburg, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Stephen Ferris, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (capt), 3 John Afoa, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
