- Forest Green have won three of their last five games and are on a two-game winning streak.
- Worthing have won four of their last five matches across all competitions and are in the midst of a two-game winning run.
- The head-to-head record between these two sides favours Forest Green Rovers, who edged out the Sussex side 4-1 in FA Cup Qualification 2025/2026.
Two different styles meet at Woodside Road
Worthing come into Saturday's clash with Forest Green Rovers sitting in a respectable 6th in the National League 2026-2027 standings with three points from one match. That is an exceptional start for the newcomers, who will have high hopes of keeping up that momentum against the 'Green'.
Chris Agutter's team are an easy side to watch, playing a front-foot brand of football with a real energy to their play. They press high, attack vertically and have a lively #10 pulling the strings.
Dominic Hutchinson has one goal in one game in the National League 2026-2027 and is Worthing's danger man, giving them a real edge in the final third.
Rovers are a dangerous team to play
Forest Green arrive in a similar position in the table, standing 6th in the National League 2026-2027 with three points from their opening game and only keeping their position ahead of Worthing by goal difference and momentum.
Robbie Savage's team are a different proposition to Worthing, who thrive on possession and high pressing. Instead, Forest Green are a team who press hard and attack off the turn, with Filozofe Mabete giving them some real bite on the counter.
He has one goal in his one game so far in the National League 2026-2027 and is just the sort of player who will get at Worthing, while the R's can switch from a 4-2-3-1 to a more direct two-striker look if needed.
Sides are difficult to separate
Forest Green are the slight favourites at 49/50 for this matchup, but we think Worthing's 113/50 price is an even bigger price than they should be. The away side have lost one of their last away games and Savage's side will have to prove themselves on the road to be considered for promotion.
The clash of styles suggests chaos in this one, as Worthing will want to get the ball and press the visitors while Forest Green will be looking to turn them over. We think the visitors should edge it, but Worthing are in fine form at home, winning their last two at the Sussex Stadium, and they will give a good account of themselves. Over 2.5 goals at 16/25 and both teams to score (BTTS) Yes at 11/20 are our main selections.
