Ottawa Redblacks Form
Ottawa head to British Columbia still seeking their first win of the season, having slipped to 0-15 last time out.
The introduction of McLeod Bethel-Thompson brought a spark to the offense last month, but ultimately bad defense rendered his efforts fruitless.
The Redblacks ran Toronto close on the road before falling to a 26-23 defeat, and that was followed by back-to-back defeats to Calgary.
Despite scoring over 30 points in each game, Ottawa were beaten 40-38 on the road and 45-31 at home.
The Redblacks offense then stalled last week, as they were beaten 34-16 at home by Hamilton.
BC Lions Form
BC enter this matchup in fantastic form, having won eight of their last nine games to reach 9-9 and put themselves on the brink of the postseason.
The Lions made a rough start to the campaign as they lost five of their first six games, but turned things around in August as a five-game win streak kick-started their season.
That run was ended by a 37-30 defeat in Montreal on September 4, but they have not lost since.
BC avenged that loss to the Alouettes a week later, as they ran out 48-29 winners before their final bye week of the season.
The Lions then backed that up with a 31-24 victory over defending champions Saskatchewan, before heading out on the road to beat Toronto 24-17.
