· Glasgow have won just two of their 19 games away to Premiership opposition (L17), however both those victories have come in their last five trips to England.
· Exeter have a 50% win rate against Guinness PRO14 opposition in the Champions Cup (W6, L6), with four of their six victories coming at Sandy Park.
