The winner of this match will guarantee a home Play-Off, the losers will have to wait on other results.
Connacht have lost three of their last four matches in all competitions, but the three defeats have all been away from home. Connacht’s only defeat at The Sportsground this season in any tournament was to Ulster in the Guinness PRO12 on 26 December.
Glasgow Warriors top the table for the first time this season following their biggest ever Guinness PRO12 victory at home to Zebre last weekend. The Warriors have won their last nine encounters in the tournament since Ulster beat them in Belfast on 12 February.
Warriors have won their last eight fixtures against Connacht with the Irishmen’s most recent victory in the series being 37-8 in Galway in February 2011.
