History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Milton Keynes Dons FC fixture

Milton Keynes face a trip to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 19 games played, Dons have recorded 7 wins, and Sheff. Wed. have come away with 8 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was just last season, in April 2003, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4 - 2 thriller, in a League Division One match.

Recent respective form guides

Sheffield Wednesday are not in the best of form at home, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats in their last six. These low-scoring games have seen just 4 goals scored and conceded.

The Dons have had a decent run of form away from home recently, coming away with three points on 3 occassions, but drawing 1 and losing 2. The games have constituted a decent return of 10 goals for the Dons, and 11 goals against.

Sheff. Wed. lie just outside the playoff positions in the Coca-Cola League One, picking up 15 points from their 10 games so far. Milton Keynes are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 11 points from 10 matches.
