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 6, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.
Preston N.E.'s away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. These low-scoring games have seen just 3 goals scored and conceded.
Sheff. Wed. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 35 points from 38 matches. Preston N.E.'s total of 60 points from their 37 games sees them sitting in the playoff places in Coca Cola Championship.
