• Saracens have won all five of their Heineken Champions Cup fixtures with Glasgow including two pool games this season and a quarter-final at Allianz Park in 2017.

• This is the ninth time Saracens have reached the knockout stage of the tournament, and only twice previously have they failed to progress to the semifinals.

• Saracens have won four of five previous home quarter-finals, their solitary loss coming against ASM Clermont Auvergne at Vicarage Road in 2012.

• Glasgow has reached the knockout stage for the second time in their history.

• Glasgow has won just two of 24 European fixtures away from home against Gallagher Premiership opposition (L22, Heineken Champions Cup and Challenge Cup), beating Exeter in Round 5, 2013/14 and Leicester in Round 6, 2016/17.

• Saracens won all six pool stage matches for the second time in their history. The 2016 and 2017 champions, who have reached the knockout stage for the eighth season in a row, first accomplished the feat in 2015/16 before going on to lift the trophy in Lyon.

• Saracens won 94% of their lineouts in the pool stage this season, the best rate of any side in the competition.

• Glasgow’s Jonny Gray completed 92/94 tackles in the pool stage, and only three players completed more.

• Alex Goode (Saracens) is one of just nine players to have played every minute (480) of the pool stage.

• Goode beat 26 defenders over the six matches, and only one player, Toulouse’s Cheslin Kolbe (41), from a club that has reached the knockout stage beat more.
