Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Yes but I don't fully get the point why clubs fire their coaches when there isn't really a crisis.Now in all honesty, does anyone think that Dinko Jelicic is going to improve the team? It's like in the Bundesliga with Nagelsmann and Tuchel. What can Tuchel even do when you are 1st in the Bundesliga, next round in the Champions League and also in the DFB Pokal. I think it is ridiculous. Graham Potter, that made a lot of sense because he was so bad that nobody could believe he had been the coach for so long. You could even take Klopp and say that he doesn't deserve to be the coach anymore. But bringing on Dinko Jelicicfor Garcia doesn't chance much in my opinion.

Mourinho would be a different story but it would be sad if he does it. I would prefer to see him coaching some interesting European clubs.

I think this is the impact of Al Nassr defeat and draw in the last 5 matches and their chances of taking the title are getting lower
Yes it's normal for the owners to have expected high expectations especially after Ronaldo arrival but the result is not as expected
The club management just wants to find the right solution to overcome the last bad result regarding whether it worked or not they couldn't say for sure but at least there is an effort.

Mourinho would be a different story but it would be sad if he does it. I would prefer to see him coaching some interesting European clubs.

Actually, Mounrinho at this time is not like when he was at Chelsea, Real Madrid or even at Inter, which gave the club a title, because in several years at AS Roma, they have not achieved anything extraordinary, but I am sure that as long as there are European clubs who want him, then going to the Saudi Pro League was not his priority.
The big match Al Hilal vs Al Nassr will be a pretty important match for Al Nassr because they need a win so that the point difference doesn't get further away from Ittihad FC, but it's not easy for them to get 3 points because they have to go to their opponent's house, and Al Hilal in 3 meetings with Al Nassr dominated more with 2 wins and 1 draw.
Bookmakers favor Al Nassr, who is as away team to win this match, maybe because Al Hilal is not in very good condition because of the last 3 matches they have played they can only get 1 point, thus closing the opportunity to continue to compete for the championship, and the last defeat to Al Baten team in the relegation zone was really shocking.

[rendravolt]

The Derby match will be presented in today's SPL bringing together hosts Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr. Maybe this is the first time I will see one of the hot matches so far, how could it not be according to some sources the two are rivals who are constantly competing for victory. If we look at H2H, it is certain that Al-Hilal is indeed slightly superior and so far it is likely that Al-Hilal will win this match.

Even though in the last few matches the two teams have had unfavorable results, this match is more towards the prestige of each team not to give in to each other. Al-Nassr with Ronaldo is likely to be a little stronger, but that is still not a good benchmark for Al-Nassr to win this match and I would prefer to bet on Al-Hilal's victory.

Yeah true, after building such a team and having only just a bit of games left, they couldn't handle having a manager that would lose or draw with teams like that. We are so used to in other leagues that big clubs could end up losing to smaller clubs because that's football, but here we have only 15 clubs and the difference between the top and the bottom is huge.

There is a reason why there is only 15 clubs, because other clubs are not good at all, they are amateur level, the bottom team and the top team difference is bigger than premier league team and championship team, maybe even league one, so that is why you need to win all the games you can aside from maybe just the other top teams and they failed to do that.

I think a lot of people are watching this derby match for the first time, yes it's because Cristiano Ronaldo was there that made us interested in watching that match. Overall, Al Hilal is indeed superior to Al Nassr, and their meeting record also says so.
Oh yes, Al Hilal is reportedly interested in signing Lionel Messi and they are ready to make Messi the most expensive player and surpass Cristino Ronaldo. Will that really happen, because Messi also seems to have started to feel uncomfortable at Paris Saint Germain.

Saudi Arabia league history will be incomplete without the name Cristiano Ronaldo. Within a short period, he had made the league very popular.  Al Nassr tried all they could to catch up with Al Hilal but it seems the latter has a more formidable team than Ronaldo's club. Bringing Messi to the Saudi league will be another turning point for the football league of that country. It will even add quality to the national team of Saudi Arabia. The presence of two of the world's best players of all time in a league will attract more quality players, fans, and investments. Messi has won almost every trophy in his career and for now, I think it is time to make more money and the Saudi League is the ideal location.

That is indeed true, Mourinho used to be much more entertaining than he is these days and it's a while ago he has had his successes. But I still think he is someone who could be an option for a great European club. In the end it probably comes down to the money and if you are Mourinho and someone offers you 100 million or even more for a season or what the rumors were, I guess it is almost normal to take the offer and then say goodbye to soccer some time afterwards.

In the end, Al Hilal proved his toughness after experiencing a series of 3 matches with defeats. After having a busy match since April 2, Al Hilal experienced problems with the fitness of his players, until it was time for the crucial match between the two teams to meet. This fight is a battle of prestige for both teams. which in the end, Al Hilal proved his toughness toppled Al Nassr with a score of 2-0. whereas, Al Hilal was experiencing an unpleasant situation. but in fact, they can conquer Al Nassr. recorded, Al Hilal controlled 53% ball possession, 14 attempted shots, 6 of which were on target, 3 shots off target, 5 shots blocked. 2 great opportunities, 1 missed opportunity. what an unexpected situation, even though I thought that Al Hilal would be slaughtered by Al Nassr in this fight.

On the other hand, Al Nassr did not put up such a fierce resistance, especially in the first round. but in the second half Al Nassr began to provide resistance. recorded, they had 10 total shots, 3 of which were on target, 6 shots off target, 1 shot blocked. unfortunately, none of the opportunities they were able to convert into goals. as a result, Al Nassr was left behind by 3 points from Al Ittihad. that way, Al Ittihad's chances of winning a trophy this season are wide open.

[Sithara007]

I never expected that Al Hilal would manage to defeat Al Nassr, and that too by such a large margin (2-0). And Al Nassr squad contained all of their star players, including Ronaldo, Talisca and Luis Gustavo. The relatively unknown Odion Ighalo scored both of the goals. Now Al Nassr has dropped to the second place in the points table, with 53 points from 24 matches. Al Ittihad has 56 points from 23 matches. And more worryingly, Al Nassr has won only 2 of their last 5 matches (last month they lost the match against Al Ittihad).

Losing 2-0 to Al Hilla has closed Al Nassr's hopes of winning the Arab League trophy this season. in the saudi arabia league, the al nassr squad is the one that has the most expensive value, especially since cristiano's arrival there, it's really a natural thing if the owner expects the wins to continue to happen.

we'll see what will happen to al nassr in the next few months, because reportedly they bought cristiano this season only as a promotional medium for saudi arabia as host of the world cup.

[Popkon6]

I never imagined that Al Nassr would lose by such a margin. However, even though Ronaldo is a world famous star, Al Nassr club lost but it is never possible for him to win the team alone. Al Hilal has won most of the matches in the past organized match equation. Since Cristiano Ronaldo joined Al Nassr club here, they have won only one match and drawn one match and Al Nassr club have lost all their past matches. After a long time, Al Nassr club lost this match yesterday by a wide margin but unfortunately CR7 earned a yellow card in this match. Al Hilal were on the offensive side in terms of possession and several kicks went wide of the goal post. Although Al Nassr attacked, Ronaldo was unable to score, many shots failed. In this match yesterday, many have faced loss in betting, I am one of them.

[onecall123]

Ronaldo needs an organized teammates if he hopes to achieve his goals. This defeat has dealt a big blow to Cristiano Ronaldo's dreams of lifting up his first Saudi Pro League title. This defeat stands they'll likely continue to struggle to score against the top 3 teams in Saudi. Against Al Hilal, Ronaldo was unable to score, he also ended up receiving a yellow card in this match. The league table shows that Al Nassr are 3 points behind the league leaders Al Ittihad, who still have a game in hand.

[Strongkored]

Bettors who chose Al Hilal to win in this match are now enjoying profits, because as far as I remember they got pretty good odds around @2.80 and Al Nassr @2.20, even though Al Nassr was the away team but the favorites to win but unfortunately, it turned out they lost without even being able to score a single goal. Al Hilal's two goals through penalty and this defeat is a big loss for Al Nassr they will find it increasingly difficult to stay in the race for the championship because now even though the point difference remains 3 but the competitors still have the remaining matches that have not been played, after the Eid holiday maybe we will see Ittihad FC getting stronger at the top with a 6 point advantage if they are able to beat their tough opponent Al Shabab.

Well 3 points behind no real results because Al ittihad will play one more game if they win then Al Nassr is 6 points behind
Al Nassr have lost their chance for the title this season they have to prepare for next season by finding a more appropriate partner for Ronaldo , Ronaldo is indeed a star player but he also needs the right partner.

and finally the match between Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr with a score of 2-0 where Al-Hilal was superior in today's match. yes, of course Al-Hilal is superior. He is playing at his own cage with a very good performance and it is impossible for Al-Hilal to want to lose and feel embarrassed if he loses when he is the host.
but it's a shame when Al-Nassr uses Ronaldo but can't score any goals.

for the news that Al-Hilal wants to bring Messi to become the most expensive player at Al-Hilal, it seems that there are still pros and cons, while Messi is currently still comfortable with PSG, even though Messi currently feels uncomfortable because the salary he gets may not be what he wants.
but it seems difficult for Al-Hilal to be able to buy Messi. because there is news that PSG will extend the contract with Messi.

-snip-

Not only tomorrow, Al-Nassr must win all remaining matches they have no other way if they want to keep making chances for the title
In addition, they expect Al ittihan to get one more defeat to get the same points obviously it's not an easy situation because Al ittihad has been consistent so far.

Yes Al-Nassr must win all remaining matches, but unfortunately they didn't play very well in that match, I mean yesterday lost and they widened the gap with Ittihad, although played with their key players at there. I think it seems like Al-Nassr will not win the title, because I doubt they will win in remaining matches considering that also at this time they really need a smart manager. Meanwhile, as you said Ittihad is very consistent in collecting points, so this season I think Al Nassr will not get the title.

And more worryingly, Al Nassr has won only 2 of their last 5 matches (last month they lost the match against Al Ittihad).

I wasn't surprised by this result and I discussed the team that would win this match in the post above. Al-Nassr is still struggling as usual and even though Ronaldo is there it is not a strong guarantee for Al-Nassr to break the series of head to head wins that have been achieved by Al-Hilal.

Moreover, it is clear that Al-Nassr will be in this match and I don't hesitate to say it. Even with the new coach Al-Nassr they were also unable to do anything and had to be willing to concede 2 goals without reply. In the next match Al-Nassr must fight harder and apply the best strategy to get full points, otherwise they will be closer to Al-Shahab and Al-Hilal in the standings.

And more worryingly, Al Nassr has won only 2 of their last 5 matches (last month they lost the match against Al Ittihad).

Al Hilal is one of the strongest teams in this competition, so it's only natural that Al Nassr is defeated. after all, Al Hilal played as the home team. also, for the last three seasons, Al Hilal has always dominated the Saudi Pro League trophy. it's just that, this season Al Hilal experienced a decline in performance which in the end they only ranked 4th in the standings. It's normal because lately, they have a very busy match schedule. in 3 days, Al Hilal will play his game. while the other teams, play normally as the usual schedule.

well, Al Nassr should have been able to take advantage of the momentum to overthrow Al Hilal who was being hit by fitness problems and at the same time experienced unsatisfactory results in the previous 3 matches. but unfortunately, Ronaldo and his colleagues were unable to break the dominance of this one team. It's natural, because this fight is a battle for prestige from the toughest rivals.

In four days, Al Hilal will visit Al Ittihad in the King's Cup match. This match is also crucial, because one of the winning teams has the right to qualify for the next phase.

[Rigon]

I think this is the impact of Al Nassr defeat and draw in the last 5 matches and their chances of taking the title are getting lower
Yes it's normal for the owners to have expected high expectations especially after Ronaldo arrival but the result is not as expected
The club management just wants to find the right solution to overcome the last bad result regarding whether it worked or not they couldn't say for sure but at least there is an effort.

Currently, Ronaldo's performance is going very badly for Al Nasser. A loss and a draw in the last five games have reduced their chances of winning the title just once. To be honest, everyone is looking at Ronaldo now, Ronaldo will win the match. It is natural to have such expectations. Everyone would expect such. Hopefully Ronaldo will return to good performance again very soon.

If you ask me the league is official over with this game. It would be very hard for Ittihad to lose that many games in a row, very limited games left and we are going to see them lose 2 times in a row? I do not think that will happen, I think it would be unlikely.

The best case right now would be Nassr finishing second, they are going to be upset with such result for sure, but they just have to accept that fact. If they can somehow convince Mourinho to get there, the difference will be huge, they can actually win the league by a lot of points, it's obvious how they should play and the talent they need at which positions, he would take this team to another level without a doubt, he would help more than even Ronaldo could.
