Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Crystal Palace at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Owls are clearly on top, having won 14 and lost only 3 of the 24 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in March 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2-2 draw in a Championship match.

Recent respective form guides
Sheffield Wednesday have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 7 to 6.
Crystal Palace's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. The Eagles's have scored 8 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 9.
Sheff. Wed. see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 42 points from their 33 games played so far, Crystal Palace's 43 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.

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 The Owls will at least gain a draw. Score draw
