Ilkeston Town welcome Whitby at New Manor Ground, Ilkeston, Derbyshire on Saturday, Jan 16 at 4:00 PM in a Northern Premier League fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 1 point split them in the table.
Ilkeston Town come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 0D 3L). Whitby, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 1D 2L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Ilkeston Town won their last outing, while Whitby suffered defeat — home advantage backed by momentum.
Despite playing at home, Ilkeston Town face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Whitby have won 5 of 7 encounters, with 1 draws. Their last encounter ended in Ilkeston Town won 0–2.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Ilkeston Town a slight edge, but Whitby are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
