Hereford will be looking to get their first points of the new campaign after a disappointing 2-0 loss on the opening day away to Spennymoor Town.
“I thought we were very good in the first half, we caused them huge amounts of problems, but we found ourselves 2-0 down at half-time,
“I always say football is all about moments, and we switched off defensively in two key moments, which lost us the game,” said Paul Caddis.
The Bulls sit 23rd in the National League North after just one match, but they’ll be aiming to get points on the board at the first attempt in front of their own supporters
King’s Lynn also had a frustrating start to the season, drawing 1-1 at home to newly promoted AFC Telford.
The Linnets came close to promotion last season, finishing 6th and losing in the play-off Quarter-Finals to Chorley, and will be eyeing another push after a summer of strong recruitment.
Off the pitch, the Norfolk club underwent significant change over the summer, with the club being taken over by a Singapore-based investment firm and a change in manager, with James Rowe coming in.
The two sides met twice last season in the league, a goalless draw at Edgar Street and a 2-0 away win for the Bulls courtesy of goals from Tate and Remaye Campbell.
Hereford fans will be hoping their side can pick up their first points of the season on Saturday.
