- Worthing are the stronger of the two sides on current form - 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats across their last 10 in all competitions.
- Wealdstone have been poor in their last 5 - 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in all competitions.
- Worthing travel to Middlesex on the back of a 2-game winning run.
A close affair likely, but Worthing have the momentum
National League 2026/2027 rivals Wealdstone FC and Worthing FC will face off in the FA Cup Qualification in what is set to be a typically lively cup encounter between two teams that know each other very well.
This is a classic case of the classic contrast in styles, with Gary Waddock trying to control the pace and keep it slow and patient with his 4-2-3-1, and Adam Hinshelwood attempting to play with an open, high-tempo approach to play with his identical 4-2-3-1 system.
The visitors are the value call to nick this one on Saturday afternoon, but the BTTS and Over 2.5 points on the board suggest we should expect a lively cup fixture, rather than a nervous, cagey encounter.
Worthing can make a breakthrough in Middlesex
Worthing have played some superb stuff in their last 10 matches and they arrive here in much better form than their hosts, with The Rebels winning 4 and drawing one of their last 5 matches.
In fact, the last time these two sides met was just 7 weeks ago, in National League 2026/2027, when Worthing ran out 1-0 winners at home. However, there is a lot of water under the bridge since then and Worthing can look to recent victories over Gateshead and Solihull Moors to maintain their momentum.
The Stones are in poor form, having suffered 3 defeats in their last 5, and the 0-6 home defeat to Yeovil Town last time out will have hurt the lads. With that in mind, I'm happy to give the visitors a shot in the double chance bet.
Expect goals on Saturday
Over 2.5 is priced at 53/100 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 11/25 for a reason, and that is the price at which we shall be taking it. Worthing's current away record reads 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from 5 matches and they've conceded just 8 goals, an average of 1.60 per game.
Wealdstone's home record is 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats in 5 matches across all current competitions and they've shipped 12 goals at an average of 2.40 across that same period. With two contrasting styles on show, the goals should arrive.
