Struggling Hereford will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Altrincham in the upcoming league round. It’s 17th vs 7th and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Hereford and Altrincham should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Hereford form and stats
When playing at home in the Vanarama National League North, Hereford have managed 4 wins, 10 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 16 games. Hereford has four consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.
Hereford drew their last game, also a home match. Darlington (placed 11th) was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Before that, Hereford drew at home versus Southport.
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 four of these, drawn seven and lost two.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hereford as they are travelling to their away game against York City in the Vanarama National League North. That match is three days after this one.
Hereford are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 16 games. Hereford have conceded 18 in these home matches.
Altrincham form and stats
Playing away, Altrincham have won 4 games, drawn 5 and suffered 7 defeats in the Vanarama National League North this season.
Altrincham play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Blyth Spartans (placed 21st). A 2-3 defeat away at Spennymoor Town before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Altrincham playing away and similar expectations, we found ten relevant matches. Results were two Altrincham wins, five draws and three defeats.
Altrincham are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 16 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Altrincham have conceded 24 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Altrincham - Hereford 5-1 earlier this season. Numbers for the last three meetings between these two teams are: zero wins for Hereford, two draws and one win for Altrincham. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.Top Goalscorers
