vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Stafford Rangers go into this FA Cup second qualifying round tie, a straight knockout fixture with no league table involved, on the back of three wins, one draw and one defeat in their last five: the 3-0 away win at Kidsgrove Athletic follows a 3-0 home win over Northampton ON Chenecks, preceded by a 2-0 away win at Corby Town, a 0-0 draw with Shrewsbury and, further back, a 0-2 defeat at Vauxhall Motors. Hereford's recent form is stronger, four wins and one draw: the 6-0 home win over South Shields follows a 3-0 away win at Harborough Town, preceded by a 2-1 home win over Spennymoor Town, a 1-0 away win at Southport and, further back, a 1-1 draw with Chester. The only known meeting between the sides dates back to 2020, when Stafford Rangers won 3-1 at home. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
