Montreal Alouettes Form

Montreal head back out on the road having won three consecutive games to improve their record to 8-1.

The Alouettes began their defence of the Grey Cup with a 27-12 win at Winnipeg in a rematch from last season’s final.

They backed that up by reeling off four more victories, before finally seeing their perfect start end with a 37-18 defeat to Toronto before the bye week.

Montreal rebounded when they returned to action though, downing their opponents on Friday night, Saskatchewan, 20-16.

The Alouettes then followed that up with back-to-back wins over Hamilton, beating the Tiger-Cats 33-16 on the road and 33-23 at home.

Saskatchewan Roughriders Form

Saskatchewan remain atop their division, but they go into this game having cooled off with just one win in their last five games.

The Roughriders raced out of the blocks with four consecutive victories, before seeing their streak finally come to a halt with a 35-20 defeat at the BC Lions.

They responded with a 19-9 win over Winnipeg, but they have not won since that July 19 success against the Blue Bombers.

Saskatchewan lost their next two games, falling to a 30-16 defeat in Montreal before returning home to lose 42-31 to Edmonton.

The Roughriders then played out a 22-22 tie when they paid a visit to Ottawa last time out.

Verdict

Montreal have looked more than capable of winning back-to-back Grey Cups.

The Alouettes are the better team in better form, so we are expecting a win and a cover for them in this one.
