Match Finished
Expected score: Curzon Ashton 2-0 Ilkeston Town
Curzon Ashton host Ilkeston Town at Tameside Stadium in Non League Premier - Northern action, with the hosts looking to maintain their push towards the upper reaches of the table. Ashton sit third with 34 points from 17 games, while Ilkeston arrive in 20th place with just 13 points from the same number of matches. The gulf in form and league position suggests a heavily one-sided affair.
Team form
Curzon Ashton
Curzon Ashton are in outstanding form. They have won four of their last five league matches, scoring 12 goals and conceding just 3 over that run. The standout performances came away at Warrington Town (4-0) and at Cleethorpes Town (3-1), showing they can dismantle opponents on the road. Their only blemish was a 2-1 home loss to Guiseley AFC, but they bounced back immediately with victories over Ashton United and Lancaster City. Season-wide, they average 1.82 goals scored per game against just 1.06 conceded, making them one of the division's most potent attacking units with a strong defensive base.
Ilkeston Town
Ilkeston Town are in freefall. Over their last five matches, they have won just once, drawing once, and losing three times. More alarming is their goal tally: they have scored only 2 goals across those five games while conceding 16. The 7-0 hammering at Bury and 3-0 defeat at home to Cleethorpes Town highlight a defence in crisis. Their season average of 0.76 goals scored per game against 2.18 conceded paints a picture of a struggling side lacking both attacking threat and defensive solidity.
Head-to-head
The teams met last season on 15 November 2025, with Curzon Ashton winning 1-0 away at Ilkeston. That victory underlined the quality gap between these two sides, and there is little to suggest the dynamic has shifted.
Key factors
Curzon Ashton's attacking prowess will be the decisive factor. With four wins in five and an average of 2.4 goals per game over that period, they have the firepower to exploit Ilkeston's fragile defence. Ilkeston have conceded 3.2 goals per game in their last five outings, a statistic that screams vulnerability. Ashton's home record at Tameside Stadium and their current momentum give them every advantage. Ilkeston's only realistic hope lies in a disciplined defensive approach and capitalising on rare counter-attacking opportunities, but their recent form offers little encouragement. The hosts should dominate possession and territory throughout.
Prediction
The form disparity is stark and decisive. Curzon Ashton are third for good reason—they are scoring freely and defending competently. Ilkeston are 20th because they cannot stop conceding and struggle to create chances. At home, with the crowd behind them, Ashton should control this match from start to finish. Ilkeston's last five games have yielded just 2 goals; Curzon's last five have yielded 12. The expected goal balance heavily favours the hosts, and their recent trajectory suggests they will be ruthless in capitalising on their superiority.
Curzon Ashton are strong favourites and should win comfortably. A home victory is the clear outcome to back, with the hosts likely to score multiple goals against a leaky Ilkeston defence. This is a mismatch on paper and should prove one on the pitch.
