Quins currently sit down in 10th of their domestic Premiership table (excluding points deductions) having won only one of their opening four matches.
They’ll be most disappointed with their defeat at the Stoop to Worcester last time out as defeats at Sandy Park and Franklin’s Gardens are hardly disastrous, while that victory over current league leaders Bristol will surly egg them on.
Clermont Auvergne have won just five of their opening nine matches in the French Top 14, which has seen their winning percentage drop from 62% last season to just a mere 56% so far this campaign.
However, the French outfit have won three of their four matches at Stade Marcel Michelin this season, including a 25-14 victory over current league leaders Lyon, who’re yet to lose to anyone else this term (W8-L1).
Head-To-Head
The last time these two sides faced off against one another came in the European Challenge Cup semi-final seven months ago, which Clermont duly won 32-27 at this stadium.
Indeed, that score was a little flattering for the English side as they scored 19 points within the last 23 minutes and so you’d be a little concerned for them this time around without either Joe Marler or Kyle Sinckler to steady the scrum.
By contrast, the hosts will have their multiple internationals all raring to go and that certainly makes the handicap market of some appeal.
Clermont -13 Point Handicap
Paul Gustard’s men have now lost six consecutive matches on the road with their last such win coming back in March, with the most recent of them a 40-22 thrashing by Northampton at the start of the month.
Moreover, the visitors have just two victories in Europe from their nine trips since start of 2017, with them losing by more than eight points in each of their four such fixtures in the Champions Cup, whilst both Wasps in their hay day and Ulster inflicted 31- and 28-point deficits on them respectively.
Of course, those heavy defeats came under different management, but with such a poor recent record on the road and without their big guns in the scrum, or Danny Care at the back of it for that matter, we’ll take Clermont to cover the 13-point handicap.
