1. They both at one point, caught Montag's eye. He married Mildred, but later became good friends with Clarisse. So both women-at one point-interested him on some level.
2. They both were unfortunate casualities of the society that they lived in. Granted, their fates were on opposite ends of the spectrum: Mildred was the cold, miserable prototype of their stifling society, whereas it was hinted that Clarisse, because her and her family refused to become as Mildred was, was taken away or removed (if her family wasn't fortunate enough to escape first). So both women suffered in their society.
In almost every other way, Mildred and Clarisse seem to be polar opposites, which is one reason Montag finds Clarisse so refreshing and different from what he's used to. I hope that helps!
