Wasps will be hoping to carry on their Heineken Champions Cup form in the Round of 16 as they take on TOP 14 side ASM Clermont Auvergne at the Ricoh Arena on Saturday afternoon. A two-time winner of Europe’s premier club competition, Wasps enjoyed victories over Welsh region Dragons and French outfit Montpellier in the pool stage of the competition, finishing second in Pool A behind Leinster Rugby. Clermont have showcased unrivalled attacking prowess so far in the 2020/21 competition. The three-time Heineken Champions Cup runners-up have notched 82 points in two pool stage fixtures – 51 in a victory over Gallagher Premiership leaders Bristol Bears and a 39-31 reverse at the hands of Munster Rugby. The pair have shared a win apiece when the sides have met in European action, but those games took place during the 2007/08 season. The action begins at 12:30 local time on Saturday and is live on BT Sport, Channel 4 and Virgin Media in the United Kingdom, and beIN SPORTS in France.

Their position in the standings does not really reveal their level. They were not finalists in the Premiership for nothing.” Match Facts
