The Owls return to Hillsborough in the Sky Bet Championship this evening.
Birmingham are tonight’s opposition in S6, who are looking for their first away win since mid-September.
Wednesday are unbeaten in five on home soil but will be looking to respond following late setbacks in each of their last three league outings.
But the Owls’ form on home soil has been a positive with just three defeats from the last 22 league games at Hillsborough.
The Owls are ninth in the Championship, two points ahead of Birmingham who head into tonight’s game in 16th position.
