SSV Jeddeloh vs Hertha Berlin Prediction & Betting Tips

How both sides have been playing

Jeddeloh's overall record this season reads eight wins, one draw and eleven losses from twenty matches, with goals shared fairly evenly at both ends. There's been some wobble in the league, including recent defeats to Oldenburg and Hamburger SV II, but they've also put five past both Atlas Delmenhorst and Weiche Flensburg. The standout result, though, is a 5-2 win over 1. FC Heidenheim in this very competition back in August.

Hertha's numbers look stronger on paper, eleven wins from twenty with a healthy goal difference, but the recent run tells a different story. They've lost their last two league matches, at Dynamo Dresden and away to Osnabrück, and only drew with lower-league Saarbrücken in their previous Pokal outing. Goals have flowed for and against, so games involving Hertha rarely stay quiet.

Jeddeloh's cup pedigree, including that win over a 2. Bundesliga side, suggests they won't be overawed by the visit of another one.

Could this be another cup shock?

Jeddeloh have already shown once this season that they can trouble a 2. Bundesliga outfit in this exact competition, and doing it again at home would fit the pattern of recent giant-killings in German cup football. Hertha, meanwhile, arrive on the back of two league defeats and a scratchy Pokal draw against lower-division opposition, so they're not walking in full of confidence.

That said, Hertha's squad has scored freely across the season and has the sort of firepower that can turn a game quickly if Jeddeloh's defence, which has conceded 45 in twenty matches, has an off day. A cup tie against a lower-league side is exactly the kind of match where recent away form can either be exposed or forgotten in ninety minutes.
