Clermont Auvergne returns to Champions Cup action at home facing the Glasgow Warriors in a pivotal January pool-stage matchup, with the two sides arriving in sharply contrasting form.
Clermont comes off a 34-19 win over Montauban in Top 14 play, but its European campaign has struggled to gain traction after heavy losses in the opening rounds.
The French side fell 47-10 to Saracens in Round 1 and 35-14 to Sale in Round 2, leaving little margin for error as pool play continues.
Glasgow enters this fixture riding significant momentum.
The Warriors have won each of their last five matches across competitions and remain perfect in Champions Cup play.
Their European run includes a 26-21 victory over Sale, followed by a 28-21 win against Toulouse, results that underline both their defensive control and late-game composure. That consistency has positioned Glasgow as one of the early pace-setters in the pool.
