Footymad preview History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Peterborough United fixture

Sheffield Wednesday prepare to entertain Peterborough United at Hillsborough on Tuesday evening, 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.

Nothing seems to be going right for the The Owls at home recently, and we can see no immediate turn around in fortunes as the Posh come away with an easy victory. Away win
