2025/26 Ghana Premier League: Week 18 Match Preview - Swedru All Blacks vs. Nations FC
· GhanaSoccernetSwedru All Blacks will be hoping to carry their late first-round momentum into the second half of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season when they host Nations FC at the Swedru Sports Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The Black Magicians closed the opening round on a high note with a vital 2-1 victory over giants Asante Kotoko SC last weekend, a result that has significantly boosted confidence within the camp.
That win extended their impressive recent run to just one defeat in their last eight league matches, a sequence that has helped them climb out of immediate danger and move four points clear of the relegation zone.
Head coach and his charges will view this fixture as another opportunity to consolidate their revival, especially against a Nations side struggling to adapt to life in Ghana’s top flight.
Since earning promotion, Nations have endured a difficult campaign and currently sit just two points above the bottom three.
Their away form has been particularly alarming, having picked up only one point from a possible 30 in their last 10 away matches across all competitions.
That worrying statistic will offer encouragement to the home side, who have shown improved organisation and resilience in recent weeks, particularly at home.
For Nations, however, the stakes could not be higher. A defeat in Swedru would see them slip into the relegation zone, increasing pressure on a team already searching for consistency and belief.
