- Worksop form: Worksop Town have won four and lost six of their last ten matches in all competitions.

Town can spring a surprise on Telford
AFC Telford United arrive on Tuesday night, National League North side Worksop Town FC, but the Tigers have a great opportunity to spring a major upset to the visitors' dreams of an FA Cup 2026 qualification run.
Telford make the trip down to Worksop Town FC and they have a respectable record across their last five games, notching up two wins, a draw and two defeats. However, if we look a little deeper, the Bucks are in a slightly sticky patch of just two wins from their last ten in all competitions, with three draws and five defeats.
Worksop, on the other hand, have been somewhat erratic of late with two wins and three defeats in their last five outings. However, they did bounce back from a 1-2 defeat at home to National League side, Bedford Town, by beating National League club, Southport, 2-0 at home, suggesting that they can have their days.
A contrast of styles should make for an exciting matchup
Playing styles
- Telford are a more straightforward outfit, utilising their physical focal point up top, getting the ball into the box and overlapping full-backs, while Worksop are a typical counterattacking side with pace on the flanks and a quick transition to get at the opposition's defense.
Betting pick
Both approaches will ensure an end-to-end game, so we're going for Over 2.5 goals at 1.79 and Both Teams to Score: Yes at 1.67, as this is the stronger option than backing a result.
Worksop can just edge this one
While the value is in the goals markets, the best play on the result line is for Worksop Town to edge it here, but the odds available make this more of a sideshow rather than the main selection.
The Tigers have an edge in the H2H, although with the odds so tight, there's certainly a close match energy about this one.
Player to watch
Vaughan Redford has been in good form for Worksop in recent weeks, scoring three of the sides' five goals in the last five and he looks the most likely to score a goal here.
