League leaders Connacht have won eight of their nine games this season and lead Saturday's hosts by a point in the standings ahead of this game, but Lam's side have never won at the Limerick venue in the professional era.
With Munster's Champions Cup clash with Stade Francais falling by the wayside due to circumstances in the French capital, Connacht's exertions in returning from Siberia and then beating Top 14 high flyers Brive last weekend might see them behind in their preparation.
However coach Lam says his side are hoping to ignore Connacht's poor record against Munster at Thomond Park.
“I think we never look at records, what we look at is the opportunity we have this week. There's four points on the line, it's another game, an opportunity to play as a team,” said Lam.
“We go with a lot of confidence, we understand it's always been a tough fixture for us. Munster's had a week off, they're pretty fresh. So, everything we do is about playing rugby come Saturday, about playing the match. We're looking forward to that.
“The outcome will be determined by the work that we do every day here. We had a good day yesterday, a good review, the boys just put in a pretty tough unit session and we've another one this afternoon.
“The confidence comes from the work we do, day in, day out in the Sportsground,” said the Connacht coach.
Life Style Sports, official sponsor to Connacht Rugby, today launched a limited edition Connacht Green Lantern jersey that will be worn on November 28 against Munster.
