SSV Jeddeloh vs Hertha BSC Prediction

I'm backing Hertha to win this one, but I'm more interested in the goals. SSV Jeddeloh II play in the Regionalliga Nord, Germany's fourth tier, and they're hosting Hertha Berlin from the second Bundesliga on 28 October 2026 at 20:00. The class gap is real. Hertha should control this match, but I'm not expecting a clean sheet from either side.

Jeddeloh's defensive record is the story here. I've seen their October results: a 2-1 loss to Lübeck and a 7-2 hammering from Drochtersen/Assel. That's not a team built to shut out experienced attackers. My read is that Hertha will dominate possession and create chances, but Jeddeloh will get opportunities on the break. Cup football at this level often produces open games, and I expect both teams to find the net.

Form and H2H

I'm looking at Hertha's last ten matches: seven wins, three draws, zero losses. They've averaged 2.09 goals for and just 1.10 against. That's the form of a team that knows how to finish. Their October run included wins over Dynamo Dresden and Osnabrück, plus a 2-1 victory over Greuther Fürth. They drew 0-0 with Holstein Kiel, but that's the exception.

Jeddeloh's numbers tell a different story. I see three wins and one draw in their last ten, but six losses. They're averaging 1.70 goals for and 2.60 against. The defensive fragility is clear. When I combine Hertha's attacking form with Jeddeloh's leaky defense, I see a match with multiple goals.

Best bet

I'm taking Over 4 at 1.08. The price is tight, but I'll take it. Hertha will press high and create space. Jeddeloh will try to hit them on the counter and will likely concede in the process. I expect Hertha to score at least twice, possibly three. Jeddeloh should get one or two. My math says this finishes 3-1 or 3-2, and I'm comfortable with that outcome at 1.08.

Odds to watch

I'll also consider Hertha to win at 1.04. That's a short price, but it reflects the gap between these teams. If I want more value, Both Teams Score at 1.8 appeals to me. Jeddeloh will score; I'm confident in that. The real question is whether Hertha's defense holds firm, and I don't think it will against a team that will throw bodies forward looking for a shock. I'm staying with Over 4 as my main play.
