It is the same conjuncture Sheffield Wednesday lost out in the League One play-offs last year, as Thursday's hosts will need to overcome a 4-0 deficit against Peterborough in the second leg of their play-off semi-final.
Despite entering the first leg on the back of a four-game winning run and a third-placed finish in the regular season, the Owls were shocked by a side who secured a top-six finish on the final day.
The winners on aggregate here will play against the winners between Barnsley and Bolton Wanderers for a spot in the Championship.

One of Dominic Iorfa or Michael Ihiekwe will have to make way amid Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore's move to switch back to a more familiar back four.
Moore may also go with the gamble of starting Reece James at left-back with the objective of deploying Marvin Johnson in an advanced role.
The midfield engine is likely to be run by Will Vaulks and Barry Bannan.
Sheff Wed possible XI: Dawson; Palmer, Iorfa, Flint, James; Vaulks, Bannan; Windass, Paterson, Johnson; Smith.

Peterborough team news
Darren Ferguson has more or less a full-strength squad to work with and may not make any changes to his winning combination from the first leg.
The only factor on the mind of the Peterborough manager would be that of resting his key players in case he sees the tie out of his opponent's reach.
Peterborough possible XI: Norris; Ward, Kent, Edwards, Burrows; Kyprianou, Norburn; Poku, Taylor, Mason-Clark; Clarke-Harris.
| Position | Players |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers: | Norris, Blackmore |
| Defenders: | Edwards, Knight, Kent, N. Thompson, Watts, Ogbeta, Butler |
| Midfielders: | Fuchs, Kyprianou, Taylor, B. Thompson, Norburn, Ward, Burrows, Poku, Randall, Corbett |
