KIDDERMINSTER, England (Interstat) — Kidderminster will host Worthing in a National League football match Friday at Aggborough Stadium, with both clubs aiming to improve their standing across all competitions. The home side enters with a 6-3-5 record across all competitions. Kidderminster most recently beat Solihull Moors 2-1 at home. Its recent results also include a 0-0 draw at Carlisle, a 1-1 draw with Sutton, a 3-1 loss at Boreham Wood, a 1-0 home win against Gateshead and a 2-0 win at Hartlepool. Kidderminster has mixed attacking production with several tight defensive efforts during the current campaign, and the home setting at Aggborough Stadium will be central to its approach. The club’s six wins, three losses and five draws reflect a side that has remained competitive in a crowded National League schedule.

Worthing is 7-5-3 across all competitions. The visiting side most recently lost 3-0 at Wealdstone. Worthing’s recent results include a 2-1 home loss to Ipswich U21, a 5-0 home win over Solihull Moors, a 2-1 win at Gateshead, a 1-1 draw at Yeovil and a 2-1 home win over FC Halifax. Worthing has produced several high-scoring performances this season, including the five-goal outing against Solihull Moors, but it will look to respond after the setback at Wealdstone. Emmerson Sutton is a player to watch for Worthing. In recent appearances, Sutton scored in 72 minutes against Ipswich U21 and played 13 minutes at Yeovil. His involvement could be important as Worthing seeks to create chances against a Kidderminster side that has been difficult to break down at times. Worthing’s seven wins, five losses and three draws show a side capable of scoring in bursts while remaining vulnerable at the back.

Worthing’s recent slate includes a 1-0 home win over Hornchurch, a 3-1 win at Hartlepool and a 2-2 home draw with Barrow.
