A neutral venue, which means neither side gets to feel even the minor comfort of familiar misery, and yet somehow Ilkeston look considerably more threatening going forward, which will almost certainly count for nothing. Tobias Ødegård in goal will doubtless make one brilliant save that briefly convinces everyone something meaningful is happening, before AFC Fylde equalise through Angel Vazquez doing something competent in midfield at precisely the wrong moment. A draw feels inevitable in the way that most things feel inevitable to me, which is to say utterly and completely.

Ilkeston are throwing everything forward in this one — 20 estimated attacks against Fylde's 7 tells you everything about where the pressure is going to come from, and I fancy them to break through twice on a neutral pitch. Fylde's Angel Vazquez will try to get a foothold in midfield and keep them in it, but Ilkeston's forward line has too much hunger today. Tobias Ødegård should be largely untested in goal, and that gives Ilkeston the platform to grind out a hard-fought cup victory.
