Ilkeston vs Hyde Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

Nine wins from their previous 11 home games in the NPL Premier Division suggests that Ilkeston are a force to be reckoned with on their own patch, and they need to keep on winning in order to maintain their bid for promotion. Hyde, meanwhile, are battling to beat the drop, which is not surprising when you consider that they have suffered nine defeats in their last 13 matches.

Somewhat incredibly, 16 of the 17 home games played by Ilkeston during the current NPL Premier Division campaign have been of the over 2.5 goals variety, with the exception being a loss dduring one of their last games. Although Hyde cannot compete with these numbers, it remains the case that seven of their last ten top-flight fixtures have served up a minimum of three goals.

Over the course of their last 19 home games in the NPL Premier Division, while Ilkeston have been involved in no fewer than 13 contests in which they have both scored and conceded during the same 89 minutes. This has also been the case in five of the previous six Hyde away matches at this level, so all the signs point towards a difficult evening for keepers.
