<html> <head><title>Worthing vs Chippenham Town – Match Preview</title></head> <body> <h2>Worthing primed to flex at home against struggling Chippenham</h2> <p>League leaders Worthing welcome bottom-placed Chippenham Town to the Sussex Transport Community Stadium with momentum and metrics squarely in their favor. The hosts have hit a relentless stride: top of the table, five straight league wins, and an attacking output surging to 3.25 goals per game across the last eight matches. Chippenham, by contrast, arrive with no away wins all season and just two points collected from 12 trips.</p> <h3>Form and context</h3> <p>Worthing’s trajectory is unmistakable: their last eight league outings show 2.63 points per game, up 25.8% on the season baseline, with defensive numbers improving too (0.88 GA). At home they average 2.75 goals and concede just 0.67, reflecting both their front-foot approach and controlled game-state management.</p> <p>Chippenham have ticked upward modestly in recent weeks at home, but their away trend is entrenched: 0.17 PPG, 0.58 goals scored, 2.08 conceded, and a 58% rate of failing to score. Their away clean sheets stand at 0%. That profile collides badly with Worthing’s high-intensity pressing and varied scoring threats.</p> <h3>Tactical matchup</h3> <p>Worthing’s home pitch favors proactive sides—quick combinations and aggressive counter-pressing. Their goals are spread: recent tallies from Brad Dolaghan, R. De-Graft, Jack Spong and Teddy Jenks indicate multiple avenues to goal. Chippenham’s best recent moments have leaned on set-pieces and penalties (Harry Parsons) and late chaos (Anointed Chukwu), but replicating that away against a disciplined high-press will be tough.</p> <p>Key situational edges underline the mismatch. Worthing lead at half-time in 67% of home matches and score first 75% of the time at home. Chippenham have scored first in only 8% of away games and trail at half in two-thirds. Once Worthing are ahead, they defend leads at 67%, while Chippenham’s away equalizing rate is just 33%.</p> <h3>Goal timing and totals</h3> <p>Expect a fast start and a strong finish from the hosts. Worthing’s first-half production is robust, and their late-game surge (nine home goals in the 76–90 window) frequently turns control into emphatic wins. Chippenham’s away concession profile is heavy in the first half (14 conceded) and remains leaky late (six in the final quarter-hour). This sets up well for Worthing to score in both halves and to pile on if ahead.</p> <h3>Market view and value</h3> <p>The 1x2 is extremely short on the home side for good reason (1.17), but value exists around team totals and defensive props. Worthing to score Over 2.5 at 1.73 aligns with their 2.75 home GF and last-8 surge (3.25 GF), plus Chippenham’s 0% away clean-sheet rate. The clean-sheet angle (1.91) is reinforced by Chippenham’s 58% away failed-to-score figure and Worthing’s 58% home clean sheets. The handicap at -1.5 (1.55) is supported by multi-goal home wins (multiple 4–0, 5–0) and Chippenham’s frequent two-plus goal away losses.</p> <p>For bettors seeking a bigger price, Correct Score 3-0 at 8.00 marries Worthing’s team-total and clean-sheet trends. If you prefer a lower-variance add-on, BTTS No at 1.83 fits the statistical profile (Worthing home BTTS only 33%).</p> <h3>Intangibles</h3> <p>No fresh team news or injuries surfaced in pre-match coverage, and the schedule is standard early-January fare. Typical winter conditions on the south coast should suit Worthing’s energy and depth. With the league lead on the line and a rampant attack, motivation and focus should be high.</p> <h3>Prediction</h3> <p>Everything points to a controlled Worthing win with the potential for a comfortable margin: Worthing 3-0 Chippenham.</p> </body> </html>
