Ilkeston Town desperately need points on Saturday, Jan 2 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.

Quorn come into this fixture out of form (1W 2L recently). Ilkeston Town travel struggling badly (0W 4L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Quorn and Ilkeston Town have split their 1 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–0W). Their last encounter ended in Ilkeston Town won 0–2.

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