There is all to play for as Clermont entertain Racing-Métro in the Heineken Cup on Friday.
Clermont and Racing are joint-second in Pool Two on nine points, five points behind Leinster.
That means the tournament will effectively be over for the losers - although the winners still need a result from Saracens in Dublin.
Clermont go into the match with Pumas hooker Mario Ledesma and Fiji winger Napolioni Nalaga both missing.
Racing have named Pumas playmaker Juan Martin Hernandez at fly-half, so Dan Scarborough comes in at full-back.
However the Parisians are without Frans Steyn, Lionel Nallet, Sebastien Chabal and the suspended Jonathan Wisniewski.
Clermont Auvergne: 15 Benoît Baby, 14 Wesley Fofana, 13 Aurélien Rougerie, 12 Gonzalo Canale, 11 Julien Malzieu, 10 Brock James, 9 Kevin Senio, 8 Sione Lauaki, 7 Alexandre Lapandry, 6 Julien Bonnaire, 5 Loic Jacquet, 4 Julien Pierre, 3 Clément Ric, 2 Ti'i Paulo, 1 Thomas Domingo.
Replacements: 17 Vincent Debaty, 18 Davit Zirakashvili, 19 Jason White, 20 Alexandre Audebert, 21 Morgan Parra, 22 Tasesa Lavea, 23 Gavin Williams.
Racing Métro 92: 15 Dan Scarbrough, 14 Benjamin Fall, 13 Virimi Vakatawa, 12 Andrea Masi, 11 Julien Saubade, 10 Juan Martin Hernandez, 9 Nicolas Durand, 8 Alvaro Galindo, 7 Bernard Le Roux, 6 Remi Vaquiin, 5 Francois van der Merwe, 4 Karim Ghezal, 3 Benjamin Sa, 2 Carlo Festuccia, 1 Julien Brugnaut.
