On Tuesday night, Sheffield Wednesday will look to continue their impressive run of form in League One when they travel to Fleetwood Town with a kickoff at 10:45 pm.
In their last match, the Owls defeated Doncaster Rovers 3-1, while the Fleetwood Town team lost to Cheltenham Town 2-0 in their most recent outing.
According to the latest news, Fleetwood’s match against Lincoln City has been postponed because of snow coverage on the pitch at Highbury Stadium. The Cod Army have not played since the 2-0 defeat at Cheltenham almost two months ago. This was their fourth straight league draw. However, their last victory in League One came home to Rotherham United in January.
Last season, Fleetwood Town FC, a third-tier side, is currently 19th in League One, boasting 32 points from their 31 matches. The Cod Army have games in hand on sides above them, but they’re only two points away from the relegation zone.
Wednesday have now won five of their last seven in the league, which has left them in the eighth position in the table, level on points with sixth-placed Wycombe Wanderers.
The visitors will enter this game off the back of a 3-1 victory at Doncaster on Saturday, with Callum Paterson, Saido Berahino, and Barry Bannan scoring to turn the game around after an early Owls red card had given Donny the lead.
