Sheff. Wed. are ready to welcome Scunthorpe United to Hillsborough on Tuesday evening, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Owls are clearly on top, with a 60.00% success rate in the fixture.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. The Owls have conceded a disappointing 9 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.

Scunthorpe U.'s away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Iron have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sheff. Wed. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Coca-Cola Championship with a return of just 9 points from their 11 games thus far. Scunthorpe U.'s 15 points from 11 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
