Sheffield Wednesday will be seeking a third win on the spin when they square off against Burton Albion at the Hillsborough Stadium on Tuesday.

The visitors, on the other hand, head into the game on a three-match winless run and will be seeking to end this dry spell.

Sheffield Wednesday made it two wins from two last Saturday as they saw off Charlton Athletic 2-0 on home turf.

They have now won all but one of their last seven games, with a 2-0 loss against Rotherham United on February 13 being the only exception.

This fine run of results has seen Sheffield Wednesday rise into the playoffs places as they now sit sixth in the League One standings with 58 points from 33 games.

Meanwhile, Burton Albion failed to find their feet last time out as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against Shrewsbury Town.

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink’s side have failed to win any of their most recent three games, while managing just one in their last eight outings.

With 44 points from 35 games, Burton Albion are currently 14th on the log, level on points with Cambridge United.
