Swedru All Blacks will look to halt a run of consecutive defeats when they welcome Berekum Chelsea FC to the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday in a Ghana Premier League meeting between two sides separated only by goal difference.
Both clubs have collected 14 points from their opening 10 matches, leaving them level in the table and within reach of the top half. The result could therefore have a significant impact on their efforts to move up the standings.
Swedru’s recent form has been disappointing, with their latest setback coming in a narrow 1-0 defeat by league leaders Medeama SC. That loss extended their sequence of consecutive league defeats and increased the importance of securing a positive result at home.
The Black Magicians have, however, shown considerable strength at the Swedru Sports Stadium this season. From five home league matches, they have won three, drawn none and lost one. That record will offer encouragement as they attempt to turn their fortunes around.
Swedru will also draw confidence from their most recent home fixture against Berekum Chelsea. They defeated the Blues 3-0 at the stadium during the 2025/26 campaign, giving the hosts a recent precedent to build on ahead of this encounter.
Berekum Chelsea arrive with renewed belief after claiming one of the standout results of the previous weekend. The Blues recovered from a goal down to beat Asante Kotoko 2-1 at the Golden City Park, ending a two-match run without a win or a goal.
That victory moved Chelsea into ninth place and provided a welcome lift for the squad. They will now attempt to carry that momentum into a difficult away fixture against another team determined to respond after a disappointing result.
Their record on the road remains a concern, though. Berekum Chelsea have lost four of their five league matches away from home, a sequence they will be hoping to improve in Swedru.
The contest pits Swedru All Blacks’ home form against Chelsea’s need to correct their away record. With both sides level on points and seeking to climb the table, Sunday’s match carries importance for their respective campaigns and promises a closely fought battle.
