History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Barnsley fixture

Barnsley face a trip to Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on Sunday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 19 out of 28 times.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in March 2004, the Owls carving out a narrow 2 - 1 victory in a League Division Two match.
