Swedru All Blacks will be aiming to build on their impressive victory over Asante Kotoko when they welcome Karela United to the Swedru Stadium in a Matchday 7 fixture of the 2026/27 Ghana Premier League.
The Black Magicians produced one of the biggest upsets of the previous round with a 1-0 triumph over Kotoko and will be hoping to maintain that momentum on home soil. They currently occupy 10th place with eight points after six matches.
Home form has been a major strength for Swedru All Blacks this season. They remain unbeaten at the Swedru Stadium, having recorded two wins and one draw from their opening three home fixtures.
Karela United, meanwhile, head into the encounter sitting eighth on the table with nine points. The visitors will be eager to respond after their recent setback and finally end a frustrating run away from home.
The Pride and Passion have lost all three of their away league matches this season and are currently on an eight-game winless streak on the road in the Ghana Premier League. Sunday's clash therefore presents an opportunity to reverse that trend.
With both teams separated by just one point, the contest promises to be closely fought as each side looks to climb further up the league standings.
