It's the second away game in a row for Ilkeston, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Basford United (placed 22nd) last time out. Those three points felt good as this side had gone four league games without victory.

Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Worksop Town.

Ilkeston Town are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 0 draws and 3 defeats. From a total of 4 matches.
