Wales will be without winger Josh Adams due to a hamstring injury, but Gareth Anscombe and Dewi Lake are available for selection.
With both teams looking to make a statement, this match could be a pivotal moment in their Six Nations campaigns.

00:00Wales's scrum coach Adam Jones believes the pressure is on Scotland ahead of their Six Nations clash at Murrayfield.
00:10Although Scotland are heavy favourites, they have yet to achieve anything significant with what could be their best crop of players in over 30 years.
00:19Jones is confident that Wales can exploit this pressure and rattle Scotland in the upcoming match.
00:26He emphasised that while Scotland's talent is undeniable, they may struggle with the weight of expectation.
00:33Scotland's Blair Kinghorn, however, insists that his side won't take Wales lightly after being impressed by their performance against Ireland.
00:42Despite a disappointing run of 15 consecutive losses, Wales showed improvement in their attack under interim head coach Matt Sherratt, leaving hope for a potential turnaround.
00:55The performance was decent. I thought it was as cohesive as we could have asked for with the amount of prep time we had.
01:04It was a reward for that really to the players. I thought probably across the board there were some really good performances and I was keen to let them go again.
01:15The follow week was difficult because we only had 13 or 14 lads in. I'd have loved to have had that week to continue the growth of the team.
01:25It's just confirmed what I thought after the first two days. They're a really good group, very, very coachable.
01:30This week has been a step up in terms of what we've produced on the training field.
01:36The challenge the group set themselves on Monday was pleased with the performance, obviously not pleased with the result because they're all competitors, we all are.
01:45But can we do the same again and build a little bit more on top of that? I think the passion, the effort was first rate.
01:54It's matching that as a minimum but then trying to build our game slowly as well.
02:00Ospreys hooker Dewey Lake has also recovered from bicep surgery. He could also feature, providing a boost to Wales' strength in depth.
02:09The match is set to be a crucial test for both teams.
02:15.
