It appears to be Gaborone United's (GU) league title to win as the championship approaches its midpoint. It might be an early call to make but the Reds are on song this campaign as rivals continue to stumble.

It was purported to be a four-horse race at the start of the 2021/2022 competition, with GU, their cross town rivals, Township Rollers, Orapa United and holders Jwaneng Galaxy all in the favourites' mix. However after 10 games, GU sit on 27 points, this is almost a half of local league winning points, which stands at an average of 60 to 66.

The team has lost just once this campaign, having the best scoring record with 23 goals whilst they have conceded just three, which is the least of the 16 Premier League teams. As the league action roared to life for the first time in the new year, the Reds maintained their spot at the top with a hard fought 1-0 over Gilport Lions on Saturday afternoon.
