History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Luton Town fixture

Luton Town travel to take on Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Hatters will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them taste defeat on 14 occassions, and draw 8, from the 24 games played.

The last time the two teams met at Sheff Wed was more than a decade ago, in February 1992, as the Owls edged out their past their rivals by a score of 3 - 2 in a First Division match.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday have only collected 1 win and 3 draws from the last six home games played. Only 4 goals have been registered in this time, with 6 in the wrong end.

Luton Town's away form is none too clever either, seeing them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While the Hatters have hit 9 goals, 16 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Sheff Wed see themselves just below half way in the Nationwide League Division Two, showing a record of 24 points from their 18 games played so far, Luton Town's 26 points from 18 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 12th position.
