Sheff. Wed. face a trip to Cardiff City at Ninian Park 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 15 and win only 5 of the 26 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in March 2006, the Bluebirds carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Championship match.
