Hereford and Southport have delivered a "par" performance so far this season, to use a golf phrase. Both reside in mid-table places in the Vanarama National League North.
- Hereford have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
It's no vacation for neither Hereford nor Southport 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
Hereford have played 13 Vanarama National League North games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 5-3-5 (wins-draws-losses). Hereford has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Gowling and the players.
Hereford are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 193 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by Pendley).
The followers are hoping that Hereford will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Farsley Celtic (placed 22nd).
Heartbreak before that as Hereford lost 0-1 at Spennymoor Town's place.The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Hereford have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 13 matches with the results: Won 5, drawn 4 and lost 4.
Low on goals? Looking at this team's last 10 league matches, 9 have produced less than three goals (under 2.5).
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. Alfreton Town are visiting.
Hereford are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 19 goals in 13 games. Hereford have conceded 15 in these home matches.
Southport form and stats

Southport play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 2-1 victory visiting Chorley (placed 7th). That win felt good as this club had gone five league games without winning.
