Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Chesterfield at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, and hold the advantage on previous meetings between the two. Of the 15 games played, Owls have recorded 7 wins, and Chesterfield have come away with 2 victories.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in December 2003, when they played out a goalless draw in a League Division Two match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Sheff. Wed. at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Owls will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
