The Owls and Ipswich drew 1-1 last time out, with Dennis Adeniran open the scoring only for *that* incident with Bailey Peacock-Farrell that led to a late equaliser for the hosts.

Now, as both sides look to try and mount a promotion push in the second half of the season, they’ll see today’s game as a big encounter and a vital three points – if they can get them.

Key Events

  • It finished 1-1 the last time they met
  • Wednesdayites could see three debuts this afternoon
  • Lee Gregory is out

Mendez-Laing comes off for Palmer. He’s been a real problem for Ipswich this afternoon.

It’s on the other side this time, with NML being set free down the right. He gets his first time cross in, but it’s just over Windass’ head.

Johnson gets ball into the box after some nice interplay between Windass and Luongo, but it’s cleared.

Big penalty shout for Mendez-Laing, who was bundled over in the box, but the ref was having none of it... Dele-Bashiru won the ball back and Windass drove in a cross, but it was stopped and the follow-up header went over. Another bright bit of play from Wednesday.

Wednesday haven’t won 1-0 since October when they beat Bolton... One goal usually isn’t enough to get them a victory.

The teams are back out

No changes from the Owls as the second half gets underway.

Peacock-Farrell - 6

Storey - 7

Hutchinson -8

Dean - 8

Mendez-Laing - 7

Dele-Bashiru - 6

Bannan - 7

Luongo - 8

Johnson - 8

Windass - 7

Kamberi - 7

Wednesday lead, and deservedly so... They’ve had all the big chances and should be more than 1-0 up to be honest. BPF hasn’t really been tested - a good Owls half.
