Hide AdDons’ precarious League One position means the Owls, who go into the game second in the standings, are heavy favourites, especially given their current run.
Darren Moore’s side have not lost in the third tier since October 4, when they were beaten 2-1 by league leaders Plymouth Argyle at Home Park.
On Tuesday night, Wednesday did Dons a favour though, beating fellow relegation scrappers Morecambe 3-0 at Hillsborough, while Dons were thumped 5-0 by Bolton Wanderers, who climbed into third spot.
