The PSL has reached the half-way stage, and here are some stats to help review where things currently stands. Sundowns are cruising at the top of the table, having equalled the halfway point record, while Richards Bay have been impressive in their first season at the top.

12 – Sundowns are the first team in PSL history to win as many as 12 games at the half-way stage of a 16 team PSL season.

37 – 37 points at the half-way mark also equals the record for a 30-game season (shared by 2014/15 Chiefs and last season’s Sundowns).

Once again, their success is built on a strong defence, with 11 clean sheets this season providing that stable foundation.

10+ – Downs have kept 10+ clean sheets at the half-way stage of a PSL season for three consecutive campaigns, the first time a side has done that.

Their 11th clean sheet came on the weekend against Richards Bay, who have been equally impressive.

10+ – Richards Bay are the first newly promoted side in PSL history to keep 10 clean sheets at the half-way stage of a 30-game season, while Sundowns’ 11 shutouts at this stage is bettered only by 03/04 Chiefs & 21/22 Sundowns.

237 – 237 goals have been scored this season, four more than we had at this stage last season (233).
