Match facts
Round 3 was the first meeting between the clubs in Europe with Wasps running out 32-17 victors at the Ricoh.
Connacht have won seven of their last eight home games in European competitions, including each of their last four, and will be searching for a third consecutive home win in the Champions Cup for the first time.
Wasps won on their last trip to Ireland (v Leinster in Round 1 last season), but have only won consecutive games at an Irish venue once before – against Ulster in 1997 and 1999.
