The 3-0 success at Hillsborough was the Owls most famous result for many years but, after a summer of heavy spending, momentum has been building for some weeks now for manager Carlos Carvalhal and his side.
Our betting preview of the game shows that Wednesday are one of the form sides in the Championship and the hosts could potentially introduce new loan signing Gary Hooper into their starting XI after his loan move from Norwich City.
Hooper was a £5m signing by the Canaries in the summer of 2013 and has been a consistent goalscorer at Championship level both with the East Anglians and former club Scunthorpe United.
Carvalhal however has tried to keep the focus on the next game and told the official SWFC website that Forest would provide tough opposition despite their own recent poor form.
