  • Montreal Alouettes are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings

  • The series is tied 13-13 since 2010
  • Montreal Alouettes won 23-20 when the two teams last met on June 15

Edmonton Elks Form

Edmonton head to Montreal on a good run of form, having won each of their last three games to improve to 3-7.

The Elks opened with back-to-back home games, but failed to make that count and ultimately went into their first bye week sitting 0-4.

The losing continued after the bye too as they lost back-to-back games against Ottawa, 37-34 at home and 20-14 on the road, before falling 44-28 at home to Hamilton.

Edmonton finally stopped the rot in Week 9 as they travelled to Saskatchewan to beat the Roughriders 42-31.

The Elks then backed that up with a 33-16 success at home against BC, before heading to Hamilton where they beat the Tiger-Cats 47-22.

Montreal Alouettes Form

Defending champions Montreal are riding a four-game win streak that has given them a league-best 9-1 record.

The Alouettes kicked off their defence of the Grey Cup with a 27-12 victory at Winnipeg in the rematch, and that proved to be the start of a five-game win streak.

Their perfect start was finally ended by a 37-18 loss at home to Toronto before the bye week, but they have not lost since.

Montreal returned to winning ways with a 20-16 victory over Saskatchewan, before downing the Tiger-Cats in Hamilton, 33-16.

The Alouettes beat Hamilton 33-23 at home a week later too, before travelling to Saskatchewan for a 27-24 victory last time out.

Verdict

Edmonton have enjoyed a good run recently, but we expect that run to end here.

Montreal have been on a roll and look more than capable of winning back-to-back titles, so we expect an Alouettes win and cover here.
