Recent respective form guides

Hereford United's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Bulls have scored 4, a worringly large 10 have been leaked at the other end.

Port Vale's away form is none too clever either, picking up two good wins, but losing three, from the last six. While the Valiants have hit 4 goals, 8 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Hereford Utd. are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 2 points from 4 matches. Port Vale see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola League Two, showing a record of 5 points from their 4 games played so far,
