Mamelodi Sundowns are aiming to be the no.1 team on the continent, and in this episode we get some perspective on how they plan to do that from their Assistant Sporting Director Ryan Hunt. The former Stellenbosch FC Head of Technical Analysis gives insight into the club's data driven approach, team's philosophy and how Orlando Pirates and Cape Town City are two teams he thinks will push Sundowns in the PSL. Hunt also explains why passing speed is probably the most vital piece of data he looks at, and how xG can be misleading when analysing players.

Co-hosts: Zayn Nabbi and Courtney Freese

Guest: Ryan Hunt (Sundowns Assistant Sporting Director)
