Hereford form and stats

6 victories, 3 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what Hereford have to build on here at Edgar Street Athletic Ground in the Vanarama National League North.

A nice win for Hereford last time playing, versus Southport. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0. At last, a league win after three fixtures without one.

Prior to that, an away loss at Farsley Celtic.

This is expected to be a close game, with Hereford perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Hereford as a small favourite), we find 13 games. Hereford has won 6 of these, drawn 3 and lost 4.

It should be taken into account that a look at the 10 most recent league games shows that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

A decent goal production from Hereford in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 14 league matches. 15 goals have been conceded.

Alfreton Town form and stats

3-6-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Alfreton Town in their Vanarama National League North matches away. It's three draws from Alfreton Town's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.

Alfreton Town's previous game was their home loss versus Curzon Ashton (1-2). Until that defeat this side had taken at least one point from eight league fixtures in a row.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Boston United.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Alfreton playing away and similar expectations, we found 11 relevant matches. Results were 4 Alfreton Town wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats.

The schedule is very tough for Alfreton Town now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Vanarama National League North game at Banbury United is waiting in only three days.
