Montreal Alouettes Form
Montreal head out on the road looking to get back on track and win their first game since August 25.
The Alouettes began their defence of the Grey Cup with a five-game win streak that was eventually ended by a 37-18 defeat to Toronto.
They rebounded to win all five of their games between their first and second bye weeks of the season, but they have not won since returned from the latter bye.
Montreal made a losing return to action at the start of September as they were beaten 37-23 at home by the BC Lions.
And although the Alouettes avoided back-to-back defeats last weekend, they were forced to settle for a 19-19 tie when they visited Calgary.
Ottawa Redblacks Form
Ottawa return home looking to bounce back from a road defeat that has left them with an 8-4-1 record.
The Redblacks split their first four games of the season, but found some form after that as they went six-games unbeaten.
They won five times during that run, which was eventually brought to a halt when they were beaten 38-12 by the BC Lions.
Ottawa issued an immediate response to that loss when they hosted Toronto, beating the Argonauts 41-27.
However, the Redblacks failed to back that up last time out, falling to a 37-21 defeat when they visited Hamilton.
