AFC Fylde

vs

Worthing FC

Preview

AFC Fylde

• AFC Fylde sit 8th in the National League 2026-2027 standings with seven points from their opening four matches and it's an early-season tally that keeps Craig Mahon's side in the promotion picture.
• They've reacted well to their 3-2 loss away at Woking by seeing off Forest Green Rovers 2-0 at home.
• They're a vibrant, hard-working team that likes to get after the ball at pace.
• AFC Fylde are unbeaten after two National League 2026-2027 home matches (W1, D1), while Worthing have won one and lost one of their two away fixtures.

Worthing

• Worthing have won three and lost two of their last five.
• The Rebels have made a decent start themselves with six points from four matches, which leaves this one finely poised on paper.
• Worthing won 1-0 at home to Wealdstone in their second game of the season before slipping to a narrow 3-2 defeat away at Tamworth on Saturday.

Key Players

• Adam Hinshelwood's side are a possession-based football team, calm in build-up and controlled from the back.
• They have a target man in Dominic Hutchinson, who has scored one goal in four National League 2026/2027 games to make him their top goal-scorer, which is something Fylde can't really offer.
• Harvey Broad has been Fylde's main threat this season with three goals in three National League 2026/2027 outings and he has an instinct for the big moment.

Betting Insights

• Our selection for the game result is home victory for Fylde, but their odds are slightly against the odds with them at 1.91 and Worthing priced at 3.44.
• The draw is 3.5 and it would be tough to fancy any of those unless one side has a clear advantage, which they don't appear to have in terms of the league table.
• The home side to win and both teams to score at 1.53 is our selection.
• Over 2.5 goals at 1.6 also fits well here as AFC Fylde have scored an average of 2.00 and conceded 1.00 at Mill Farm this season, while Worthing have scored 2.50 and conceded 2.50 on the road.
