The game is the reverse fixture between two sides whose meeting earlier in the campaign was a classic game of two halves.
Boss Ian Sampson was under some pressure ahead of the October clash at Sixfields but watched his side race into a three-goal lead at the break thanks to Leon McKenzie's hat-trick.
45 minutes later however Hereford were celebrating a remarkable comeback victory.
Bulls manager Jamie Pitman meanwhile felt his side's game against Burton Albion on Saturday was spoiled by the referee but told his club's official website: 'Hopefully we go into the Northampton game and if we win that and we've got four points from these last two then that is a good return.'
