Ospreys may be stuttering in the GUINNESS PRO12 but after a stunning start to their European campaign against Exeter Chiefs, Steve Tandy's side will be looking to keep it up against Clermont Auvergne.
The Welsh region came into the Champions Cup with some form off the back of a 36-3 league victory over Zebre, and another victory on Sunday will give them some much-needed momentum heading back into the GUINNESS PRO12.
However, in last year's runners-up they face a stern test, with Clermont having not lost a European fixture at home since 2008.
Their star-studded line-up includes Georgian tighthead prop Davit Zirakashvili, who is returning from a cheekbone injury to start.
Former England internationals Nick Abendanon and David Strettle also line up for the hosts, alongside France stars Wesley Fofana, Camille Lopez, and Morgan Parra.
The French side's opening fixture against Bordeaux-Begles was postponed due to the attacks in Paris.
Sunday 22 November, kick-off 13:00 UK/Ire.
