Match Preview

Alfreton Town return to the Impact Arena tomorrow afternoon looking for back to back league wins in the National League North and to continue the momentum from Tuesday's success at Hereford, kick off is 3pm.

The Reds grabbed a massive mid-week win on Tuesday night as we claimed a first ever win at Edgar Street with a 2-1 victory over Hereford. The three points lifted us back into the play-offs and reignited the Reds push and momentum.

We got off to the perfect start with Danny East hitting a sweet dipping low volley from outside the box with Hall in the Bulls goal rooted, after just four minutes on the clock. It was a great reward after a good start to the game, however Hereford equalised with 12 gone when Sodeinde's cross took a glance off Ryan Qualter's head and went into the corner.

However we rallied and soaked up sporadic pressure whilst carrying a threat of our own in the first half. The winner came on 49 minutes when Amari latched onto a loose ball in the box following a corner and rifled a shot into the top corner from five yards.

This proved the final decisive moment as we held on and managed the game very well to secure a big three points to lift us back into the mix.

We head into tomorrow's game looking for back to back league wins after losing our previous three league games prior to the Hereford success. The Reds will be aiming to correct recent home form with Alfreton losing the last three league games at home and continue the confidence gained from Tuesday.

Gloucester who made the switch into the North from the National League South in the summer, currently sit in 13th place in the National League North table with 22 points from 17 games, they are five places and three points below us.

Their current playing record stands at: P17, W6, D4, L7.

The Tigers head into the fixture off the back of back to back draws in the league (Farsley 1-1 and Curzon 2-2), they have won just one of their last seven in all competitions.

Away form for the visitors has seen just one win in the last nine in all competitions with away form in the league seeing Gloucester win their first two away games at Blyth and Kidderminster but they are now win-less in their last seven away league games (L5, D2).
