Bradford Cty need a point from Saturday's match at Edgar Street to ensure they will play League Two football next season.
However interim manager Peter Jackson insists he would rather win the game thanrely on others.
"It is still a big game for us - it is still a big game for both clubs on Saturday," Jackson told the Bantams OS.
"They (Hereford) will be desperate for three points for their own cause, but we will be desperate for the win as well.
"We know that we need a point to be mathematically safe.
"But it would be nice to collect all three points and we have to go there with the right mindset to look to win the game.
"We know that we just can't go there and just try and play out a draw. If we go there and close up shop then that will invite them onto us.
"It will get their fans going and give them an extra confidence boost that we don't really need to be giving them."
