Racing were thumped by Ulster in Belfast and then drew 31-31 with Exeter in Paris.
They scored two late tries against the Chiefs with the clock in the red when Geronimo Prisciantelli converted to level the scores.
Racing’s priority is probably to climb from 11th in the Top 14 but they have a strong squad and name a formidable line-up for this one.
Prisciantelli, who was man of the match in Argentina’s win against Wales to kick off the autumn, is selected at full-back.
Leo Carbonneau is an exciting prospect at scrum-half while there is serious bulk up front in the shape of Lehopoame Leota, Demba Bamba, Junior Kpoku and Jordan Joseph.
Number eight Hacjivah Dayimani, formerly of Stormers, is one to watch.
Racing 92: Prisciantelli; Ravutaumada, James, Ashvetia, Donguy; Gibert, Carbonneau; Njocke, Leota, Bamba, Kpoku, Joseph (capt), Baudonne, Zinzen, Dayimani.
Replacements: Tarrit, Julien, Kharaishvili, Taofifenua, Albuisson, Tagitagivalu, Labarbe, Espeut.
