Edinburgh currently occupy first place in the United Rugby Championship with 14 points after three matches.
The team from Scotland have contested three fixtures in the URC this season so far. They defeated Ulster 34-29 away, the Stormers 17-13 at home, and Zebre 29-12 away.
Edinburgh have been in great touch this season, winning all their fixtures, and they have a solid record against Toulon, having never suffered a defeat to their opponents in European rugby competitions.
Toulon Form
Toulon performed well in the Investec Champions Cup last season, reaching the semi-finals, where they lost 29-25 to Leinster.
RC Toulon have been inconsistent in the French Rugby Championship this season, sitting in tenth place in the standings with 12 points after six rounds.
In the Top 14, Les Rouge et Noir lost 27-26 away to Bayonne, 21-20 to La Rochelle at home, and 29-27 to Castres away, then defeated Vannes 28-10 at home, and lost 28-0 to Montpellier before defeating Racing 92 29-15 at home.
Toulon have lacked consistency in their domestic league so far, and have lost six consecutive away fixtures, which is not the ideal form to have when taking on Edinburgh at home, as they lost 33-20 away to their opponents last season.
