Auckland host Otago in week 7 of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Auckland has four wins from their seven matches to lie fifth in the Premiership standings. A victory will see them move into second place for the time being with other teams still to play in this round.
Otago has recorded six wins from seven games to top the Championship log by a single point over Wellington. They will look to bounce back from their first defeat in the competition, a 45-34 loss to Canterbury in the previous round.
These sides have played 82 times, with Auckland winning 54, Otago 20 and 8 draws.
The last encounter ended 35-29 in favour of Auckland back in 2015.
