A former Tipperary goalkeeper says he feels Clare are favourites for Sunday's Allianz Hurling League encounter between the sides.
The Premier travel to Cusack Park to face a Clare team looking for a win that could move them off the bottom of the Division 1A table.
On the other hand, a win for Tipperary would push them towards the Quarter-Final places and Ken Hogan says it's clear the stakes are high for both counties.
Separately, Kilkenny full forward John Joe Farrell will face no suspension after picking up a straight red card against Dublin in their Allainz league defeat last Sunday week.
The central hearings committee says that having viewed video evidence the infraction was not proven and directed that the Disciplinary Action be at an end.
