A thrilling encounter is expected at the Tarkwa and Aboso Stadium on Sunday when title contenders Medeama SC welcome Swedru All Blacks in a Week 7 clash of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.
Match Preview
Medeama enter the game brimming with confidence after rescuing a point in dramatic fashion last weekend against FC Samartex 1996, courtesy of a late equalizer that showcased their resilience and fighting spirit. The Mauve and Yellow, guided by head coach Ibrahim Tanko, have been one of the standout sides this season, collecting 13 points from six matches (W4, D1, L1).
Currently second on the league table, Medeama are pushing hard to reclaim the top spot and are expected to go all out against the newly promoted Swedru All Blacks. Their home form has been particularly dominant — unbeaten in their last four home matches this campaign (W3, D1) and boasting 11 wins in their past 13 games at Tarkwa across all competitions.
The team’s success has been built on a balanced setup — a clinical attack that has netted 11 goals, the highest in the league so far, and a disciplined backline that has conceded only four goals. Players like Jonathan Sowah, Godknows Fordjour, and Vincent Owusu have been key to their attacking rhythm, while goalkeeper Felix Kyei continues to marshal the defense with authority.
Swedru All Blacks’ Challenge
Swedru All Blacks, on the other hand, face a daunting test as they look to steady their form after a mixed start to life in the Premier League. The returnees currently sit 12th on the table with six points from six games (W2, L4).
While their home victories have provided some encouragement, their away form remains a major concern, having lost all three away matches this season — each by a 2-0 scoreline. Their most recent defeat came against fellow newcomers Hohoe United, a result that highlighted their struggles on the road.
Head coach Emmanuel Kwesi Arthur will be hoping for a disciplined defensive performance from his side while relying on the pace and creativity of Zayat Bubakari, Richmond Yorke, and Alhassan Tahir to cause problems for the Medeama defense.
