  • PRE-MATCH
  • HEREFORD are back on the road this afternoon in a re-arranged National League North game against Buxton.
  • Hereford have won just once in their last seven matches in all competitions.
  • However, the Bulls sit in ninth with just one league defeat this season.
  • That loss came at Edgar Street and on the road Paul Caddis' side are unbeaten in five league matches.
  • Buxton are in their second season in the National League North and have picked up three league points less than Hereford.
  • However, all their 12 points have come at Silverlands where they have won four and lost two this season.
  • Buxton's home form might be partly down to their artificial surface.
  • Each artificial pitch seems to play differently which always profits the home side.
  • The Bulls historically have quite a poor record on plastic pitches
