History of the Brighton & Hove Albion v Hereford United fixture

Brighton & HA play host to Hereford United at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 3 of the previous 4 games.

The last time the two teams met at Brighton & HA was more than a decade ago, in October 1996, with Hereford Utd. inflicting a narrow 0-1 defeat upon the Seagulls in a League Division Three match.

Brighton & Hove Albion will be hoping to improve on their poor home form, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. While Seagulls have scored 8, a worringly large 12 have been leaked at the other end.
