Gloucester will be looking to complete the double over Heineken Cup new boys, Connacht, when they host the Irish province in the return Pool Six clash at Kingsholm.
The Premiership outfit ground out a 14-10 victory at the Sportsground in Galway but will want to record a bonus-point win at home to keep their slim hopes of a quarterfinals place alive.
The west country giants are third in the pool behind Harlequins with four-times champions, Toulouse, already in pole position to qualify for the knockout stages of the tournament.
Connacht, who are competing in the Heineken Cup for the first time, have endured a baptism of fire and are still looking for their first victory in the pool and in European rugby's premier tournament.
