Key Factors to Consider
- Ottawa Redblacks have shown improvement recently, securing their first win of the season against Calgary, buoyed by a strong defensive performance and key plays such as interceptions. Toronto Argonauts have shown inconsistency with a notable loss against Saskatchewan but also competitive games, illustrating potential vulnerabilities on defense. Ottawaβs momentum at home could be a deciding factor.
- Recent head-to-head matchups have been competitive, with Toronto holding a slight edge historically, but the home advantage may balance this. The last few seasons have seen tightly contested games between these two sides with no clear dominance.
- No specific injuries have been reported recently for either team in the lead-up to this game, suggesting both squads will likely field strong lineups.
- Weather conditions in Ottawa in late June are generally mild and should not significantly affect play. The gameβs scheduling on Canada Day with additional entertainment might bolster the home crowdβs energy and support for Ottawa.
- Ottawa is highly motivated to continue their upward trajectory after their first win, especially playing at home on a patriotic occasion. Toronto aims to recover from inconsistent results and will seek to spoil Ottawaβs celebration with an away victory.
