Perpignan have the Pool 2 edge but they cannot afford any complacency when they meet Femi-CZ VEA Rovigo at Stade Aimé Giral on Thursday night.
Perignan and Worcester Warriors are level on 20 points apiece with the French club holding the slight edge with the superior try count of 3-1 from the head-to-head matches between the clubs.
Perpignan beat Rovigo 12-79 in Round 1 with a 10-try spree, Adrien Plante crossing the Italians line, and they will be chasing another five-point victory to cause Warriors heartbreak.
Perpignan, the 2003 Heineken Cup finalists, will view going all the way in this tournament as a genuine route to next season's Heineken Cup.
