It’s only a matter of time before Mamelodi Sundowns officially clinch the 2023/2024 DStv Premiership title.
Masandawana are well on their way to an unprecedented seventh consecutive top-flight league title and a 14th in what is the 28th season since the PSL’s professional era.
By contrast, the next best teams in terms of total titles won are Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates with just four.
Nine more points
Following Wednesday’s fixtures, Mamelodi Sundowns enjoy a 13-point lead atop the standings – and have two matches in hand over their nearest challengers Stellenbosch FC.
Mamelodi Sundowns have 53 points after 21 matches.
The best the Winelands side can do should they win their remaining seven matches is 61 points.
That means that Mamelodi Sundowns only require nine more points in their remaining nine matches to make mathematically sure of being crowned champions.
In all likelihood it will take fewer than that number as Stellenbosch FC won’t win their final seven matches and Mamelodi Sundowns enjoy a vastly superior goal difference compared to their rivals.
Masandawana are currently juggling CAF Champions League commitments with their league campaign.
In terms of DStv Premiership fixtures, Mamelodi Sundowns next face Sekhukhune United on Tuesday, 23 April (19:30).
That clash will be followed by a mouth-watering match against Kaizer Chiefs on Tuesday, 30 April (19:30).
Should Mamelodi Sundowns pick up three points in both those matches, they will be in a position to clinch the title in another Tuesday match against Royal AM on 7 May (19:30).
Don’t bet against the Tshwane giants having been crowned champions long before then, however!
