Mamelodi Sundowns coach Manqoba Mngqithi might have poked the bear. The Brazilians' co-coach said that Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates don't pose his team a title threat.

As reported by Sports Brief, the Tshwane side has won the league five seasons in a row. The Amakhosi last won the league - or any form of silverware - back in 2015.

The wait for the Buccaneers has been much longer, having won the league - along with a second consecutive Treble - 10 years ago in 2012.
