Hereford form and stats

Hereford have collected 15 points from their Vanarama National League North home games so far after 3-6-1. All in all it has been a very rough period for Hereford who hasn’t won a game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Leamington, 87 days ago. Three draws from their last three home games means a steady supply of points here at Edgar Street, but a victory now would be sweet for Hereford.

In their previous game, the manager R. Slade led his Hereford to a defeat in the Vanarama National League North match away at Kidderminster Harriers. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Edgar Street. In the match before that, Hereford hosted Guiseley and drew the game 0-0.

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 ten games. Hereford has won 4 of these, drawn 5 and lost 1.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Hereford as they have a new game in only four days, a Vanarama National League North match thankfully also at home. Kidderminster Harriers are visiting.
