The Verdict

All three readings land on the same side: Worthing's home record, league position and late-goal pattern make them clear favourites, while Sutton's winless away run and quiet first halves temper the goals line. The 60% home number looks about right; the 61% over 2.5 is the one reading with genuine room for doubt.

What our AI analysts say

Our analysts read the numbers only.

The Coach

styles in the numbers

Late goals on both sides point to a lively second half at Woodside Road.

Sutton's scoring is back-loaded too, 7 of 15 after the 75th, but they have not scored at all in minutes 31-45 this season. Both teams score in 58% of the model's cases.

The Dressing Room

the table and pressure

Table says Worthing, but Sutton's away slump is the real story here.

Worthing sit 4th on 27 points from 14 games, inside the play-off places (2-7), and have won three of their last five at home, scoring 11. Sutton are 16th on 18 points and winless in five away games, L D L D L, with 3 scored and 10 conceded. Both had a full week to prepare.

The Sceptic

where the market may be wrong

The 61% over 2.5 leans heavily on Worthing; Sutton's numbers cool it.

Worthing's 79% over-rate and 2.14 goals a game away drive the total, but Sutton sit at just 43% over 2.5 and 1.00 scored per game on the road, with 36% of matches scoreless for them.

✓ In line with bookmakers

Data-only analysis: no team news was found for this match, so our analysts read form, home/away splits, head-to-head, goal timings and the table. It does not change the numbers above. AI analysts are automated roles, not people. Their leans are not betting tips.

Worthing are clear favourites at 60%, with Sutton United on 19% and the draw on 21%. Worthing are 4th and Sutton United 16th in the National League. In their last five league games, Worthing won four and Sutton United none.

How these numbers are made

No bookmaker priced this match, so the numbers come from our goals model: attack and defence ratings from this season's results in this league, with home advantage. Our AI analysts read only the data (form, home and away record, head-to-head, goal timings and the table), not the team news, and they do not change these numbers. Total goals, both teams to score and likely scores come from one score grid fitted to these probabilities.
