Buxton have journeyed here for an action-packed fight against the home team Hereford. Read up on the fixture with this in-depth Vanarama National League North preview!
It's no vacation for neither Hereford nor Buxton as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Hereford form and stats
The first Vanarama National League North game here at Edgar Street Athletic Ground resulted in a draw. Last season Hereford's home game statistics were 10 victories, 5 draws and 6 defeats from 21 games.
A strong away win for Hereford against Chester the last match, as Haines were on target.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Scarborough Athletic.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 12 games. Hereford has won 2 of these, drawn 9 and lost 1.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Hereford at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.
