Ilkeston Town desperately need points on Saturday, Apr 17 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). Leek Town, meanwhile, arrive struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Ilkeston Town and Leek Town have split their 4 meetings almost evenly (2W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Leek Town won 3–1. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.3 per game in recent meetings.

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