DORKING, England (Interstat) — A crucial National League South fixture with playoff implications sees Dorking Wanderers host Worthing on Monday, with the visitors looking to complete a season double over their rivals.

The match at Meadowbank Stadium pits two sides in contrasting recent form. Worthing arrives buoyed by a last-gasp 2-1 victory over Eastbourne Borough on Friday, extending their unbeaten run to four matches. Their attack has been potent, scoring 12 goals in their last five outings across all competitions.

Dorking, meanwhile, is reeling from a 3-0 away defeat to Horsham that same day, a result that snapped a brief positive run. Manager Marc White will demand a response from his squad, which has shown a Jekyll-and-Hyde tendency — capable of a 4-2 road win at Enfield Town but also suffering multiple recent shutout losses.

The head-to-head history adds spice. Just over three months ago, on Dec. 30, these teams played a five-goal thriller, with Worthing emerging 3-2 winners at home. That result will fuel Dorking’s desire for revenge on their own turf.

Worthing’s form table makes them slight favorites. Since a loss to Hornchurch on Feb. 28, they have collected 10 points from a possible 12, including impressive road wins at Weston-super-Mare and AFC Totton. Striker Ollie Pearce remains a constant threat.

Dorking’s hopes may rest on home advantage, where they have won three of their last five. However, defensive consistency has been an issue, conceding three goals in each of their last two fixtures.

The Interstat game simulator projects a high-scoring 2-2 draw, a result that would likely suit Worthing more in the table’s context. Both teams have challenging schedules ahead, with Dorking traveling to AFC Totton next Saturday and Worthing hosting Dagenham & Redbridge.

Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) on Monday, April 6.
