Ottawa Redblacks Form
Ottawa head to Winnipeg still seeking their first win of the season, having now lost eight consecutive games.
The Redblacks opened the season with three home games across the first five weeks, but failed to make the most of that.
They lost 29-21 to Edmonton and 44-24 to Toronto, and then followed a 37-35 defeat in Montreal with a 27-22 loss to defending champions Saskatchewan.
Ottawa’s miserable start continued as they were blown out in Edmonton, 40-17, before suffering a 36-34 overtime defeat to Winnipeg that sent them into their second bye week at 0-6.
The Redblacks then lost 34-13 to Montreal in their return to action, and fell to 0-8 last time out as they were beaten 42-20 at Saskatchewan.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers Form
Winnipeg return from the bye week looking to get back to winning ways, having lost back-to-back games to fall to 4-4.
The Blue Bombers opened with a 30-28 loss in Calgary, but failed to build on that as they lost their next two games.
They lost 37-27 to Hamilton and 23-18 to Edmonton either side of the bye week, before seemingly getting back on track with a 14-13 win over the Tiger-Cats.
Winnipeg backed that up by beating Toronto 30-21 and Ottawa 36-34 in overtime, but they have not won since.
The Blue Bombers’ win streak was ended by a 52-30 loss to Calgary, and they then went into the bye week on the back of a 35-19 loss to the BC Lions.
