The Bulls are back at home on Tuesday night as they host Oxford City.

Hereford will be looking to return to winning ways after a disappointing 3-0 loss away to Chester last Saturday.

Despite the loss, Paul Caddis’ side still occupy a spot in the play-offs as they sit in sixth.

Last time out at Edgar Street the Bulls picked up a big three points with a 3-0 victory against Farsley Celtic which was their first home win since the opening day of the season.

Oxford City on the other hand have had quite a slow start to the season with just three wins, five draws and six losses which has them sat in 19th, three points above the relegation zone.

The Hoops got off to a terrible start with no wins from their first seven league games, but since then their form has improved with just one loss in the last five.

Ross Jenkins’ side carried on their form from last season which saw them relegated from the National League, 20 points off of safety.

Tuesday night’s visitors are coming off the back of a 1-1 draw at home to a strong Southport side last Saturday.

The Hereford fans will be hoping their side can claim back-to-back home wins for the time this year.

One to Watch:

Zac McEachran (OXFORD CITY):

McEachran got off to a quiet start to the season just like the rest of his side, with no goal involvements in the first seven games.

Since then, just like the whole team, the forward has been in excellent form with four goals and two assists in the last seven.

Jenkins will be hoping McEachran can continue his great run of form on Tuesday night.

Head-2-Head:

Hereford and Oxford City have only met once in a FA Trophy Qualifier back in 2017 which resulted in a 2-1 away win for the Bulls with goals from Dara O’Shea and John Mills.
