Last season, Sundowns wrapped up the title after 23 matches. Rulani Mokwena’s team clinched the championship in record time with an impressive performance. At present, Sundowns have 49 points and would need to win their next four matches to secure the title. If successful, they would have 62 points after 23 matches, potentially enough to win the title if second-placed Stellenbosch dropped three points during the same period.
Sundowns may not want to secure the title too early, having experienced a loss of momentum last season after winning the championship early. This resulted in setbacks in both the CAF Champions League and the Nedbank Cup, where they were eliminated in the quarter-finals. *The last sentence has been removed as it is unrelated to the previous paragraph.
