Whitby Town Ready to Take On Ilkeston Town at Home

This Saturday, the Turnbull Ground will host an exciting match between Whitby Town and Ilkeston Town in the Non League Premier - Northern. The home team is favored to win, with a 45% chance of taking all three points.

Looking back, these two teams have had some close matches. Just a few months ago, on September 6, 2025, Whitby Town won 1-0 at Ilkeston’s ground. But Ilkeston has also had big wins, like the 5-1 victory in September 2024.

Whitby Town is expected to score around two or three goals, while Ilkeston might find it tough to get more than two. This suggests a tight and possibly low-scoring game.

Given the recent head-to-head results, Whitby Town seems to have the upper hand. They’ve won three out of the last five matches against Ilkeston, including the most recent one. However, Ilkeston’s big win in 2024 shows they can’t be underestimated.

The smart bet might be on a double chance: either Whitby wins or the match ends in a draw. With both teams having a history of close games, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this one go either way - or end with the points shared.

Overall, this match promises to be an intense battle between two teams that know each other well. Will Whitby Town use their home advantage to secure a win, or can Ilkeston pull off an upset? We’ll have to wait until Saturday to find out.
