Worthing Vs Sutton Utd: National League match preview

Worthing host Sutton Utd at Woodside Road on Saturday 31 October at 15:00 GMT with clear recent-form contrasts: Worthing arrive unbeaten in their last five league games (three wins and two draws, 11 points and 13 goals scored), while Sutton Utd have picked up four points from their last five (one win, one draw, three defeats and four goals scored). That gulf in momentum is the decisive fact for this fixture before a ball is kicked.

Prediction

90-minute pick: Worthing to win. Worthing’s unbeaten five-game run (11 points, 13 goals scored across that span) and superior goal return this season make them the stronger pick at Woodside Road; Sutton’s recent sequence of three defeats in five league matches and only four goals in that same window leave them exposed on the road.

Recent form and what it means

Worthing (season to date) — The hosts sit sixth in the National League after 15 matches: 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats, 28 points, 32 goals for and 22 against (goal difference +10). Over their last five league games they are unbeaten (DWWWD), collecting 11 points with 13 scored and 6 conceded. Notable results in that run include a 5-0 home win over Solihull Moors and a 2-1 victory at Kidderminster; their most recent match was a 3-3 draw with Southend on 27 October.

Sutton Utd (season to date) — Sutton are 12th after 15 games: 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats, 21 points, 17 goals for and 21 conceded (goal difference -4). Their last five league outings have yielded 4 points (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses) with 4 goals for and 8 conceded. Sutton’s most recent result was a 2-0 home win over Aldershot on 28 October, but that single win sits inside an otherwise patchy run of results.

Numbers that tell the story

  • Worthing: 13 goals in last five league matches (an average of 2.6 per game across that window) and 11 points from five.
  • Sutton: 4 goals in their last five and 4 points from those five league matches.

Key match context

Home advantage matters here. Worthing’s recent form has included high-scoring home displays (the 5-0 win over Solihull) and a run without defeat across five league fixtures. Sutton have the capacity to score and recover — their win over Aldershot shows that — but the underlying sequence of three losses in five suggests they are vulnerable to a team in form when playing away at Woodside Road.
