Mamelodi Sundowns have had arguably the most dominant league season since the formation of the National Professional Soccer League in 1971.
The Brazilians have been tearing up the DStv Premiership, setting record after record on what is an inevitable march to the title, the teams behind them unable to match their quality or find the consistency to mount a serious challenge.
There are several records Sundowns are looking to beat in the 2022/23 season; we list the current top marks.
MOST TITLE WINS IN A ROW AND MOST OVERALL
Sundowns already own both these records, but will extend their number of league title wins in a row to six. It has been pure dominance of the local scene since the 2017/18 season.
They currently have 15 league titles overall, two more than second-placed Kaizer Chiefs, and are set to extend that gap by another one. Worryingly for their rivals, they are seemingly getting stronger, and it could be a few more barren years ahead of the rest of the league.
MOST POINTS IN A 30-GAME SEASON
