Ilkeston Town desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 3 at 4:00 PM in the Northern Premier League. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Ilkeston Town come into this fixture struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5). Bamber Bridge, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Ilkeston Town here — they've won 5 of 6 previous meetings against Bamber Bridge. Their last encounter ended in Ilkeston Town won 2–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.0 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ilkeston Town a slight edge, but Bamber Bridge are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
