Montreal Alouettes Form
Montreal head to Hamilton on the back of a defeat, but with a playoff place already secured thanks to a 10-3 record.
The Alouettes enjoyed a seven-game win streak between late June and late August to open up a healthy lead at the top of the East.
That run included a 31-18 victory over Friday’s opponents Hamilton – who they also beat 30-27 in overtime on opening day.
Montreal’s streak was finally ended by a 44-28 defeat at Winnipeg, but they issued an immediate response in the form of a 37-30 victory over the BC Lions.
The Alouettes failed to make it back-to-back wins over the Lions though, as they were beaten 48-29 on the road last Saturday.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats Form
Hamilton go into this matchup in miserable form, having lost eight of their last 10 games and each of the last three to fall to 4-9.
The Tiger-Cats responded to a season-opening defeat with back-to-back wins, but it has been all downhill since then.
They lost their next two, and then failed to follow up a 24-23 win over Toronto as they lost three consecutive games.
Hamilton avoided a fourth straight loss as they upset defending champions Saskatchewan, 26-19, in the middle of August, but they have not won since.
The Tiger-Cats lost 39-20 in Toronto and 28-23 at Calgary, before returning home for a 37-22 loss to the Argonauts.
