ASM have lost only once this season.
While Sébastien Vahaamahina, Damien Chouly, Arthur Iturria, Wesley Fofana, Rémi Lamerat and Scott Spedding will not participate in the meeting next Saturday, the armada of Clermont may well give a headache to "Rouge & Bleu".
With only one defeat (from 2 small points to Toulon) to counter in 11 games of Champions Cup and Top 14, ASM is almost invincible since the beginning of the 2016-2017 season.
In the league, the ASM Clermont got 2 wins (Montpellier, 22-26 and Brive, 17-40) and 2 draws away (La Rochelle, 30-30 and Stade Français, 30-30) to one defeat in Toulon (23-21).
At home, at Stade Marcel Michelin, Clermont stuck a big score to Racing 92 (47-10) and Bordeaux (40-16), and two litlle-less impressive victories against Castres (29-19) and against Toulouse (29-25).
With 32 points in the standings, the ASM is leading the championship with 5 points ahead of Montpellier and Toulon. The Auvergne club has the best offense with 292 points scored.
