History of the Blackpool v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Blackpool at Bloomfield Road on Tuesday evening, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 35 games played, The Owls have recorded 13 wins, and Blackpool have come away with 14 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, the Seasiders carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a Championship match.
