The visitors sit in eighth spot in the Championship form table following Danny Rohl's appointment. Wednesday are on a positive run, having picked up 21 points over their last 12 matches, with leaders Ipswich Town sitting three points ahead.
Overall, the Owls have lacked goals (42) throughout the season, only bottom side Rotherham United (32) have scored less. Anthony Musaba leads the way in front of goal, the striker has fired eight times in 28 starts.
