Montreal Alouettes Form

Montreal are riding a four-game win streak that has improved their record to 6-3 and put them on course for the playoffs.

The Alouettes opened the season with back-to-back wins, beating Ottawa 19-12 at home and Hamilton 38-12 on the road.

Their form dipped over the next few weeks though, as they faced three straight games against the frontrunners for the Grey Cup.

Montreal lost 17-3 at home to Winnipeg, 35-19 on the road at the BC Lions, and 35-27 at home to defending champions Toronto.

The Alouettes have rebounded strongly though, following up a 25-18 home win over Calgary with a 27-14 win at Hamilton, a 41-12 home blowout of Saskatchewan, and a 25-24 victory at Ottawa.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form

Winnipeg have won each of their last four games to improve to 8-2 and retain top spot in the West Division.

The Blue Bombers began the season by following up a 42-31 win against Hamilton with a 45-27 defeat at Saskatchewan.

They then rebounded from a 30-6 blowout loss to the BC Lions with a 17-3 victory at Montreal and a 24-11 win over Calgary.

Winnipeg then suffered a shock 31-28 overtime defeat at Ottawa, but immediately rebounded to beat Edmonton 28-14 before the bye week.

Since returned to action the Blue Bombers have been on a tear, smashing the BC Lions 50-14 before winning 38-29 at Edmonton and 19-18 at Calgary.

Verdict

Winnipeg are the better team and a win is expected, but they are finding covers hard to come by and Montreal are on a roll heading into this.
