BC Lions Form
BC go into this matchup looking to build some momentum ahead of the playoffs, having gone 8-8 so far in the regular season.
The Lions lost their season-opener, but rebounded to win their next five games to kick-start their postseason quest.
That run was halted by a 25-24 defeat in Calgary, and that proved to be the start of a five-game losing skid that threatened to derail their season.
BC steadied the ship by beating Ottawa 38-12 and Montreal 37-23, only to then lose 33-27 to Toronto and 32-29 (OT) to Hamilton at home.
The Lions did bounce back last weekend though, climbing back to .500 with a 32-15 win over Calgary.
Saskatchewan Roughriders Form
Saskatchewan come into this game on a three-game win streak that has secured playoff football for them.
The Roughriders made a strong start to the season as they won five of their first six games, but the wheels fell off in late July.
They went on a seven-game winless run, with the only ‘positive’ result being the 22-22 tie when they visited Ottawa back on August 8.
Saskatchewan got back in track in September though, as they closed out the month with a 37-29 win in Calgary and a 29-16 victory at home to Ottawa.
The Roughriders then opened October with their third consecutive win, beating Edmonton 28-24 on the road.
