Both Graham Turner, the Hereford United manager, and Andy Williams, one of the Bulls' young strikers, have been looking forward to Saturday's game at Boston.
Steve Evans' side are just above Macclesfield at the bottom of League Two.
"I think they are going to be difficult opponents. They are very big, strong and direct but we have done very well on our travels," Turner told the Worcester News.
"The run we have had has given the players confidence. We have to make sure the defeat by Walsall is not too much of a setback and that we get back to winning ways."
Williams told BBC Hereford and Worcester that the game would be a battle.
"They are not doing that well but it's always a tricky place to go. It's a long journey up there," said Williams
"They will be, I imagine, quite a direct side, quite a physical side and we have got to match that.
"Once we've matched it get the ball down and play our football and get a result."
