The Sydney Swans are set to take on the Richmond in Round 13 of the 2025 Australian Football League (AFL) home-and-away season.
With just three victories and nine losses entering Round 13, Richmond have endured a dismal start to the season. They defeated the West Coast Eagles by a narrow margin in Round 8, but they have since dropped their previous three games and are currently in 16th position on the AFL standings following their three-point loss to the Giants last weekend.
The Swans have had a horrendous follow-up season to their 2024 Minor Premiership, as they have taken eight losses from their opening 12 games. Similar to Richmond, Sydney has only managed to take home one win and has slipped down to 14th on the ladder heading into Round 13.
