The province are back at home in the URC for the first time since the Christmas interprovincial 20-19 victory against Connacht in Round 8.
The team will head into the fixture looking to get back on track after a disappointing last-gasp defeat to Ospreys in Swansea.
Assistant Coach, Dan Soper, will lead the team into the match, following Dan McFarland's departure as Head Coach.
The province will aim to climb the URC table with a victory and build some momentum before current Ireland Under 20 Head Coach, Richie Murphy, takes over as interim Head Coach following the conclusion of the U20 Six Nations Championship.
Ulster sit in 8th position in the table, with 29 points on the board after ten rounds. a bonus-point victory could potentially lift he province back into fourth position, depending on other results.
The Dragons will head to Belfast also trying to halt a three match losing streak in all competitions, with Dragons finding themselves in 15th position on 10 points.
Like Ulster, Dragons last URC win came on New Year's Day after they defeated Scarlets at home by 13-12.

Players to watch
Hello, old friend. Dragons hooker, Brad Roberts, will be fondly remembered by Ulster faithful as the hooker represented the province from 2020 to 2022.
The powerful and dynamic hooker hit the ground running in his Dragons career, starring in the victories over Munster and Ospreys at Dragons, earning a place in the Wales squad for the Autumn Nations Series and the Guinness Six Nations.
Both hookers, Roberts and Jamie Benjamin are strong at set-pieces, with Dragons ranking fifth in the league for lineout success.
Young fly-half, Will Reed, came through the Academy system at the Dragons and after impressing at age grade level he became a part of the Wales U20 international set up in 2021 earning two caps.
Reed has played 13 times this season, with 22 points scored.
Cai Evans is a talented back - who is equally comfortable playing at full back and fly half. Evans is seen as one of the brightest young stars in the Welsh game and was part of the Wales preliminary squad preparing for 2023 Rugby World Cup.
Evans made his Ospreys debut in 2017 and has scored an impressive 68 points from 10 matches this season.
