St. Ives Town desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League – Midlands Division. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 4). St. Ives Town travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives AFC Rushden & Diamonds a slight edge, but St. Ives Town are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
