Ottawa enter this matchup still seeking their first victory of 2026, having now lost 10 consecutive games.
The Redblacks won just four games in 2025, and responded by replacing Bob Dyce with Ryan Dinwiddie in the offseason, naming him head coach and general manager.
However, that changed has not translated to improved results on the football field.
Ottawa won both of their pre-season meetings with Montreal, but since the action got serious they have failed to register a victory.
The Redblacks enter this matchup on the back of four convincing defeats, having lost 34-13 to Montreal, 42-20 at Saskatchewan, 33-21 in Winnipeg, and 46-16 in Montreal.
