AFC Fylde host Worthing in National League Matchday 6 as two recently promoted sides meet. Fylde, champions of the National League North last season, have made a solid start back in the fifth tier. Worthing, National League South title winners, are still finding their feet after promotion.

Form & Standings

• AFC Fylde: 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss from 5 games (10 points, 7th place). Recent results include a 3-1 win at Solihull Moors and a 2-0 home victory over Forest Green. They have scored 11 and conceded 7.
• Worthing: 2 wins, 0 draws, 3 losses (6 points, around 16th). Recent form is mixed — a 1-0 win over Wealdstone followed by defeats to Tamworth (3-2) and Boreham Wood (3-2). They have scored 9 and conceded 10.

Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games (over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 each).

Team News

No major injuries or suspensions reported for either side. Fylde manager Craig Mahon has praised the squad’s depth after rotating players effectively, while Worthing boss Adam Hinshelwood will look for a response after consecutive defeats.

Outlook & Prediction

Fylde hold the edge at home with better early-season form and home advantage at Mill Farm. Worthing are capable of scoring but have looked vulnerable defensively on the road.

Prediction: AFC Fylde 2-1 Worthing

Expect an open contest with goals at both ends. Fylde’s home form and slightly stronger overall start should see them take the three points.
