National League 2026/2027, 2027/2028 or FA Cup Qualification 2025/2026 clash
The last meeting between these two sides was a 4-1 away win for Forest Green Rovers in FA Cup Qualification 2025/2026, so the visiting side have the mental edge coming into this one.

Worthing sit in 7th place in the National League 2026/2027 on 3 points, a great start for the newly promoted side, while Forest Green are in 6th on 3 points, meaning that they're only ahead of the home side on goal differential.
Worthing’s form makes them a good value price at 3.26
Form and recent results
The away side are the favorites in the game at 1.98, which makes the 3.26 price on Worthing look a little short.
That's because the visitors are in mixed form, having lost 1-5 at home to Cardiff City FC, before picking up consecutive home wins over Bristol City (3-2) and Halifax Town (3-2) in National League 2026/2027. They are in good form however, winning three of their last five.
Style and key players
Chris Agutter's Worthing are playing some good football, playing a front-foot, high pressure style, with their #10 a key part of the team's verticality and ability to press high.
They have won their last two at Woodside Road, England and have made a strong start to the National League 2026/2027 season with a 2-0 home win over Ebbsfleet United (National League South 2025/2026) and a 3-2 scalp away at Carlisle United (National League 2026/2027).
Back goals in what should be a open and entertaining game
This game is a true style clash that should create chaos, with Worthing wanting to have the ball, to create plenty of goalmouth action, but also wanting to press hard when they lose it, and Forest Green are a team that love to press, and really hit teams hard on the counter attack. Robbie Savage's side can play a 4-2-3-1, or sometimes a two striker option, but they always press hard and move the ball quickly when they win it.
Players to watch
Forest Green should edge it, but Worthing's home form and high press should make this a close game, with plenty of goals likely, so we'll take Over 2.5 goals at 1.64 and BTTS Yes at 1.55.
- Filozofe Mabete (1 goal in 1 National League 2026/2027 game) gives them some bite, but they have played one away match this season, which ended in a loss.
- Dominic Hutchinson is Worthing's danger man after 1 goal in 1 game in the National League 2026/2027, and he looks like a real danger man to the visitors.
