The Iron are back in action, returning to the Attis Arena after defeating Southport courtesy of alate winner by Maxim Kougun, similarly to the reverse fixture at the Attis Arena.
As the Iron look to lock down second place three points are crucial as Chorley are hot on United's tails, two points behind with a game in hand. Hereford will bring a difficult task to the Iron, the Bulls themselves looking to steal a play-off position late in the league, with 66 points 10th place Hereford are just two points behind Boston in 7th.
In the reverse fixture the Iron came out on top winning 5-1 away from home . The Iron were 4-0 up at half time thanks to Danny Whitehall opening the score in the 12th minute, Michael Kelly doubled the Iron’s lead just five minutes later, Jacob Butterfield got himself a brace in quick succession netting in the 43rd minute and minute 45+3. Jason Crowley got one back for the hosts in the 62nd minute, before Callum Roberts rounded off an excellent performance from the Iron with a goal just two minutes before the final whistle.

THE OPPOSITION
Hereford’s form has been rather mixed in recent times, with two wins, two losses and two draws in their last six. These fixtures included rather difficult games, with three of the six opponents sitting in the play-off positions. Hereford’s most recent triumph came away to Banbury United as they won 2-1 away from home, thanks to an Andy Williams double. Hereford had two dismissals from their clash against the Puritans as Nathan Cameron and Aaron Skinner both got themselves sent off towards the end of the game, as Hereford managed to hang on.
Andy Williams is in fine form for the Bulls. The 37-year-old has netted 10 goals in his 19 appearances this season and has become a threat in his recent games. Williams got both goals against Banbury United, and also netted a brace against Buxton to salvage a point for Hereford late on. Alex Babos, a 25-year-old central midfielder has netted ten goals from midfield, and has made 42 appearances this season being a key player for the opposition who will be a threat for the Iron.
