The Bulls are back at home on Boxing Day as they host their rivals Kidderminster Harriers.
Hereford will be looking to continue their great run of form at home which has seen them win four in a row at Edgar Street without conceding a goal.
Including away games, the Whites have only lost once in the last six in the league.
Paul Caddis’ side are coming off the back of a 0-0 draw against Scunthorpe last Saturday.
“We’re gutted we didn’t get the win, but when you look at the bigger picture it’s a good point,” said Tom Donaghy.
Hereford go into the festive fixture in sixth on 37 points, five behind Curzon Ashton in first.
Kidderminster have had a good season so far as they currently occupy third, three points above the Bulls and two off top spot.
The Harriers are in good form at the moment with just one loss in the last 12 in the league.
Phil Brown’s side got off to a fantastic start this campaign as they won their first three games, their form then dipped with just one win in seven before picking up once again.
Their most recent game was a 2-0 win at home to Southport with goals from Ashley Hemmings and Zak Brown.
The side from Worcestershire have several players that will be familiar to Hereford fans with Paul Downing, Tope Obadeyi and Maziar Kouhyar all playing for the Bulls last season.
The Edgar Street faithful will be hoping for a massive win, with a bumper crowd expected.
