History of the Wolverhampton Wanderers v Sheffield Wednesday fixture

Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The The Owls will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 30 and win only 9 of the 54 games.

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