History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Peterborough United fixture

Sheff. Wed. play host to Peterborough United at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 5 of the previous 7 games.

The last time the two teams met at Sheff. Wed. was just over four years ago, in February 2005, the The Owls carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a League One match.
