SSV Jeddeloh vs SV Rodinghausen

SSV Jeddeloh's half-time adjustments proved decisive. After a cagey opening 45 minutes in which neither side created clear-cut chances, the hosts emerged with greater urgency and pressed higher up the pitch. The first goal — arriving within 15 minutes of the restart — forced Rödinghausen to open up, leaving space for Jeddeloh's second.

Jeddeloh's collective defensive organisation deserves credit: they kept a clean sheet against a Regionalliga West side that had shown attacking intent in earlier friendlies. The entire backline held firm, while the midfield duo controlled the second half tempo.

For Rödinghausen, new signing Timon Kramer (HSV II) saw minutes in his continued integration into Lübbers' system, but the visitors struggled to create clear chances against a compact Jeddeloh shape.

The 0-0 half-time scoreline reflects two teams still building match sharpness — typical for mid-July pre-season fixtures. The second-half 2-0 swing suggests Jeddeloh's fitness base and tactical familiarity (they have retained more of last season's core) gave them an edge over a Rödinghausen side that has undergone a near-total rebuild.

SSV Jeddeloh continue a strong summer programme. The club qualified for the DFB-Pokal 2026/27 after winning the Niedersachsenpokal and will face 1. FC Heidenheim in the first round — a major highlight for the club from the Ammerland region. Building momentum in friendlies is a priority.

SV Rödinghausen are still in the early stages of a significant rebuild. After finishing 15th in Regionalliga West last season, the club parted ways with 15 players and brought in 12 new faces under new coach Fabian Lübbers (RevierSport, 9 June 2026). This was their penultimate pre-season test before the competitive campaign begins on 1 August away at Borussia Mönchengladbach II. Their final friendly is on 25 July at home against KSV Hessen Kassel.

A professional, controlled performance from SSV Jeddeloh, who look well-prepared for the season ahead. Rödinghausen have the quality to improve once Lübbers' new system beds in, but this result underlined that the integration process still has work to do before the Regionalliga West opener.
