EASTBOURNE, England (Interstat) — Eastbourne Borough will host Worthing on Sunday in an FA Cup matchup at Priory Lane Stadium, with both clubs coming off contrasting results in their previous outings.

Worthing enters the contest with momentum, having won four of its last five matches. The visitors defeated Ebbsfleet United 2-0 on April 25, following a 7-2 thrashing of Dagenham & Redbridge on April 11 and a 2-1 win at Dorking Wanderers on April 6. Their only loss in that span came at Maidstone United, 2-1, on April 18. Worthing also claimed a 2-1 victory over Eastbourne Borough on April 3 in the most recent head-to-head meeting.

Eastbourne Borough, meanwhile, snapped a four-match winless streak with a 3-1 triumph at Chelmsford City on April 25. Prior to that, they had lost four of five, including a 3-2 home defeat to AFC Totton on April 18 and a 3-1 loss at Hemel Hempstead Town on April 11. The team has struggled defensively, allowing 10 goals over its last four matches before the Chelmsford win.

The head-to-head history favors Worthing. The clubs met twice in the current season, with Worthing winning 2-1 at home on April 3 and posting a 3-0 victory at Eastbourne on Dec. 26, 2025. In those two games, Worthing outscored Eastbourne 5-1.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 victory for Worthing, and the company’s ELO system gives Worthing a 54.20 percent probability to win. The simulation aligns with recent form, though Eastbourne will aim to capitalize on home advantage and the confidence from its latest result.

Both teams are competing in the FA Cup, the oldest football competition in England. The match Sunday carries significant weight as the tournament progresses, with the winner advancing toward later rounds. Kickoff is scheduled for a time to be announced.
