Swedru All Blacks will be aiming to halt their poor run of form when they welcome giants Hearts of Oak to the Swedru Sports Stadium on Saturday, November 15, 2025, in a crunch Week 10 Premier League fixture.

The Premier League returnees enter the crunch encounter under mounting pressure after suffering their sixth defeat of the season, the joint-second most in the league after nine games. With just seven points (W2, D1, L6) to their name, All Blacks sit 15th on the table, a single point above the relegation zone, and will be desperate to reignite their campaign.

Despite their overall struggles, the Swedru-based side have been formidable at home. All seven of their points this season have come at the Swedru Sports Stadium, where they have lost only once in four outings (W2, D1, L1). They have scored six goals and conceded just two in front of their home fans, a record that gives them hope against the visiting Phobians. Coach Ahmed Ibrahim Fathi will look to build on that strong home form to inspire a much-needed turnaround.

Hearts of Oak will be looking to bounce back after suffering their first defeat of the season in last weekend’s high-profile clash against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium. The 1-0 loss ended both their eight-game unbeaten league run (W4, D4) and an impressive 19-match unbeaten streak across all competitions (W12, D7).

Despite that setback, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani’s men remain within touching distance of the top, sitting fifth with 16 points from nine matches. The Phobians have been solid defensively, conceding just four goals, the joint second-lowest in the league.

Notably, Hearts have been exceptional on the road, the best away side in the league this season,  with three wins and a draw, scoring five and conceding only once. Alongside Kotoko, they remain unbeaten away from home, and will aim to preserve that record in Swedru as they look to return to winning ways.
