With their 10 point advantage in the league table, Farsley Celtic fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Hereford.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Vanarama National League North. That game was also an away game, at York City. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Farsley Celtic form and stats
The story so far in the Vanarama National League North for Farsley Celtic at their home stadium (Throstle Nest) is 7 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
A nice win for Farsley Celtic last time playing, versus Blyth Spartans. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with J. Spencer and D. Syers scoring for the victors. Preceding that match was the home game against Kidderminster Harriers that was lost 0-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Farsley Celtic as they are travelling to their away game against Gloucester City in the Vanarama National League North. That match is two days after this one.
A decent goal production from Farsley Celtic in their home games so far, with 25 goals from 16 league matches. Farsley Celtic have conceded 20 in these home matches.
Hereford form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Hereford so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 4-1-10 (win-draw-lose).
Two travels in a row for Hereford, whose manager J. Gowling could celebrate last time after the Vanarama National League North win against York City. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Altrincham.
Hereford are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, one draw and five defeats. From a total of eight matches.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Vanarama National League North trip to Kettering Town.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Hereford have scored 17 goals in 15 league games away. The Hereford manager J. Gowling has some worries about the defense as 31 goals have been conceded in these travels.
