- Team form: Worthing FC sit 4th in the National League 2026/2027 table with 27 points from 14 matches, so they are in promotion pursuit.
- League position: Sutton United sit 16th in the National League 2026/2027 with 18 points from 14 games, so they're in the lower half with work to do.
Different styles should make for a interesting match
Worthing:
Worthing FC come into this fixture off a mixed but lively spell of fixtures in which they first lost 3-0 away to Wealdstone in the FA Cup Qualification 2026 before beating Kidderminster Harriers 2-1 away in the National League 2026/2027.
Adam Hinshelwood has had a significant impact on the club since taking over on 9 October 2025 and his possession-based set up has the makings of a real promotion challenger, although they've been quick to get forward and play vertical when the space is there.
Sutton United:
Sutton United meanwhile have had an up and down stretch of results following up a 3-1 away defeat to Harrogate Town in the National League 2026/2027 with a 1-0 home win against Truro City in the FA Cup Qualification 2026.
Chris Agutter has impressed since taking over as head coach on 3 October 2025 and his organisation-first set up has been built to frustrate and hit on the break.
Worthing can edge a close encounter
Tactics
That difference in styles should ensure that this fixture is a chess match, with Worthing looking to build from the back and overload the wide areas whilst Sutton will be looking to suffocate the game and hit with quick transition play through the middle.
Prediction
Worthing are the clear favourites at 1.72, with Sutton at 4.04 and the draw at 3.8. However, we think that Sutton's compact block should keep this a close fixture.
Worthing's home advantage, form and league position are just enough to edge this one, so we're siding with the hosts at 1.72.
Betting
The over 2.5 goals line at 1.6 is short, but we're going for it in the hope that the game will be open enough for both teams to score, also available at 1.61.
Players to watch
- Razzaq Coleman De-Graft has been the main man for Worthing this season with 5 goals in 11 National League 2026/2027 matches, while Temi Babalola has 3 in the same number of matches for Sutton, so he should be the main outlet for the visitors up top.
