'It is too soon to pick a champion'

MPHELA: SUNDOWNS STILL REMAIN THE TEAM TO BEAT

- Katlego Modiba

Former Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela believes it is still too soon to make any bold predictions about the Betway Premiership title race.

The reigning champions, who currently top the table after 11 matches, welcome TS Galaxy to Loftus Versfeld tonight as they look to strengthen their grip on their title defence.

Sundowns will be eager to bounce back to winning ways after being held to a 1-1 draw by Orlando Pirates at the same venue last Saturday. While some Masandawana supporters were frustrated by the result, Mphela insists the Tshwane giants will only get stronger as the season unfolds.

“With Sundowns, you must understand that last season they played more games than everyone.
