Kidderminster - Sutton United

Kidderminster Harriers arrive at matchday 12 of the National League seeking to arrest a slide after consecutive defeats, including a 3-1 loss to Boreham Wood on 29 September 2026. Prior to this recent wobble, the hosts had enjoyed a productive spell, highlighted by a convincing 4-1 victory over Wealdstone in early September. Meanwhile, Sutton United make the trip to Aggborough following a difficult outing on 30 September 2026, where they fell 2-0 to Tamworth. Their recent form has been inconsistent, marked by a high-scoring 3-3 draw with Forest Green Rovers, leaving the visitors searching for stability as they navigate the middle phase of the campaign.

History between these two sides includes a narrow 1-0 win for Sutton United in the FA Trophy on 1 February 2025. As the teams meet on 3 October 2026, the focus shifts to which side can better manage the pressure of the league schedule. Kidderminster Harriers will aim to leverage home advantage at Aggborough to rediscover the defensive discipline they showed earlier in the month, while Sutton United must find a way to tighten up after a run of results that has seen them struggle to keep clean sheets.
