Pre-match statistics Alouettes v. Argonauts
When two great rivals from the same section cross swords, the intensity is generally there. If, in addition, these two teams display perfect records, the attraction will be even greater.
That’s what Canadian Football League fans can expect as the Montreal Alouettes (3-0) visit the Toronto Argonauts (2-0) at BMO Field on Friday night.
This will be the first meeting between these two teams since the Alouettes corrected the Toronto team 38-17 in the final of the Eastern section of the Canadian Football League last November, en route to conquering the cup Grey.
However, the Alouettes players probably haven’t forgotten the fact that the Argonauts beat them three times in as many games in 2023, including two games in the space of six days in September.
Chad Kelly led the Argonauts’ offense at the time, but he has been under a nine-game suspension since the league announced in early May that he had violated the league’s violence-based policy. genre.
Cameron Dukes therefore occupies the position of quarterback and he threw five touchdown passes without being the victim of the slightest interception during the Toronto team’s first two outings this season.
“It’s a team that is really strong. We shouldn’t think that since Chad Kelly is not there, they are any less strong. They are excessively strong,” said defensive back Marc-Antoine Dequoy after the Alouettes’ training session Wednesday noon in Saint-Léonard.
“They are well managed and they still have big players on both sides. We don’t take this lightly, in any way. It’s going to be a good team that we’re going to face. It’s just to come out of there with the victory,” he added.
