Montreal Alouettes Form
Montreal head out on the road already knowing they will be playing postseason football this year, having just recorded their 10th win.
The Alouettes dropped a game early in the campaign, but responded with a seven-game win streak to put themselves on the brink of the playoffs.
They beat Ottawa 37-35 at home, then won back-to-back meetings with Calgary 37-30 at home and 38-32 on the road, before downing Hamilton at home 31-18.
Montreal’s run continued as they sandwiched a 48-30 win over Edmonton with 34-13 and 46-16 victories against Ottawa, before finally ending with a 44-28 defeat in Winnipeg.
The Alouettes issued an immediate response though, as they took down the BC Lions at home last week, 37-30.
BC Lions Form
BC return home looking to avenge last week’s road defeat to Montreal, which ended a five-game win streak and dropped them to 6-6.
The Lions limped out of the blocks with three consecutive defeats, and found themselves in trouble in late July as they sat at 1-5.
They ended the month with a 35-19 win in Winnipeg however, and that proved to be the spark they needed to kick-start their season.
BC went on to beat Hamilton 27-24, Calgary 30-26, Saskatchewan 30-16 and Ottawa 45-24 as part of a five-game surge.
The Lions’ run was ended last week though, as they were beaten 37-30 by the Alouettes in Montreal.
