Hereford form and stats
Things could have gone better for Hereford in their Vanarama National League North away matches, but 5 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Hereford, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Merstham in the FA Cup last time out.
Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at York City.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Hereford playing away and similar expectations, we found nine relevant matches. Results were three Hereford wins, three draws and three defeats.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Hereford as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Hereford defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
