Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Peterborough United at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 6 of the previous 8 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in January 2010, the The Owls carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Championship match.
