The Sharks make the short trip along the M4 to Cardiff, looking to build some momentum following their victory over the Ospreys in Swansea last week.
Cardiff, meanwhile, were beaten by the Bulls last Saturday and are looking to avoid going three without a win in the competition for the first time since last November.
The defeat to the Bulls ended a four-game winning run at the Arms Park and left Cardiff’s record against South African opponents at played nine, won six, lost three.
