Recent respective form guides

Hereford United's home form is poor, winning just 2 of the last six, and losing the other 4. While Bulls have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Bradford City's away form is none too clever either, winning and losing 3 each of the last six games. A generous 8 goals have been both scored and conceded in this period.

Hereford Utd. are currently lying in 20th place in Coca-Cola League Two having mustered a points tally of 38 from their 36 matches played. Bradford City find themselves struggling down in 16th position in the league having picked up 46 points from their 35 matches.
