Hereford form and stats

The hosts won their first Vanarama National League North game here at Edgar Street Athletic Ground, lifting spirits. Home statistics for Hereford last season were 7 wins, 8 draws and 8 losses from 23 games.

Hereford's last game was hosting Darlington (placed 22nd) and winning 1-0. Manager Caddis felt very clever after Stanley scored the winning goal against Darlington, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 60th minute.

Before that, Hereford played out a draw 2-2 when visiting King's Lynn Town.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hereford have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 17 games) they have won 8 times, drawn 6 and lost 3.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Hereford as they are travelling to their away game against Blyth Spartans in the Vanarama National League North. That match is four days after this one.

At Edgar Street Athletic Ground, Hereford has the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
