History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Wolverhampton Wanderers fixture

Wolves pack their bags to visit Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Wednesday evening, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Wolves will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 25 and win only 8 of the 48 games.

The previous match played between the two at Hillsborough was within the last three years, in February 2003, where Wolves annihilated the Wolves 0 - 4 in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While The Owls have scored 4, a worringly large 8 have been leaked at the other end.

Wolves's away form is none too clever either, collecting 1 win and 3 draws from the last six played. A generous 7 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Sheff. Wed. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca Cola Championship with a return of just 21 points from their 25 games thus far. Wolves lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca Cola Championship, picking up 35 from their 25 games so far.
