Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[QueenVera]

Actually Karim Benzema and Neymar are first season with Saudi Pro League teams and they need time for adapting about weather where difference condition between Europe and Saudi Arabia, its they can adapting well not close opportunity to make compete with Cristiano Ronaldo in top scorer standings position. Its not really bad with Karim Benzema performance in this season, from 6 matches in domestic league he has contribution with 3 goals and 2 assists. Just waiting moment only for Karim Benzema lead top scorer from Cristiano Ronaldo have adapted well with Saudi Arabia weather after second season played for Al Nassr. Not depending with Karim Benzema and Neymar more younger than Cristiano Ronaldo but depend on how long with Ronaldo have played in  Saudi Pro League than Karim Benzema and Neymar as their first season with Saudi Arabia club.

Both players are top class and their performance this season is not really bad so far, like you said Benzema has played in 6 matches for Al-ittihad since his arrival and has scored 3 goals and 2 assists which is not very poor however Neymar as well has a good start since his arrival he's been played 3 times and produced 2 assists,  though they might not come close to Ronaldo's goal scoring ability of which they never did even while playing for the top European teams they played for but they're good in their own ways.

 Well Ronaldo is expected to adapt in his team more than they do for there's cause he's been at Al-Nasr since last season whereas Neymar and Benzema just got in this summer, and still have to blend in well to start performing like Ronaldo and i believe we're yet to see their best in the league cause they're both world class and proven players in their previous clubs.

Al Ittihad I don't think is that much stronger compared to Al Ahli so yeah the odds are quite strange but remember every time that we think the odds are strange the bookies know something that we don't so I would be careful on betting on that game.

It's because Al Ittihad is currently in higher position than Al Ahli and the match will happen in Al Ittihad's home, that's make Al Ittihad is the favorite. But I also agree if Al Ahli has a better quality, I think Al Ahli will beat Al Ittihad with small margins.

Despite Al Ittihad has Hamdallah, but this player's recent matches history wasn't good, he just lucky for score 5 goals until now.

[shogun47]

But is also shows that the Saudi Professional League is so much easier to play for these superstars because I doubt that Mane and Ronaldo would have the same goal count and assist count in the Premier League or another European top league. Of course it is their job to score in their position, but the frequency would incredible in any European league. I don't think it is as impressive in this league though. But still it is a performance that should be respected.

For players who are full of experience in the top European leagues, of course playing in the Saudi league is not a problem, especially at an old age like now, they can still have the opportunity to become top scorers. Both Ronaldo and Mane are experienced strikers and previously they also played as wingers at a fairly young age. So it's not surprising that all European players at a relatively old age will still be crazy when it comes to scoring goals. Not too impressive because we have often seen both of them during their prime, so scary for any team's defense that what they are doing now is like repeating the previous time but with less intensity.

Well yes but I think it is also important to put things into perspective. Ronaldo made a decision and left the European top leagues, but sometimes I wonder whether he wouldn't have been able to go for two or three years on a top level with a great team. But his attitude destroyed this option. I would have preferred to see him on a high level as he is still amazingly athletic. Ibrahimovic was able to contribute to his teams so I am sure that he could have done it as well. But ok that is history, now he is breaking records in Saudi Arabia.

I can't say a particular team is favorite in this match. Considering Ittihad's home match,  perhaps they can be considered favourites . But Al Ahli's performance is bad. This group is very strong. They have  several talented players in their squad. And their attack is quite strong.

Al Ahli's main  weakness is their defence. The defense of this team is relatively weak . They conceded 13 goals in 8 matches. On the other hand  ittihad conceded only 5 goals in 8 matches. If AL ahli can keep their defense strong  in this match, if the defenders can play well then the  team has a chance to get points against Ittihad . But if the defense is weak, it will be very difficult to counter the Ittihad team.

Apart from the host status, also the standings are a consideration why the bookie gives Al Ittihad a chance, other than that the meeting record from their last 5 matches, Al Ittihad dominated the victory by winning 3 wins, while Al Ahli only recorded 1 win and 1 other match ended with a draw. The conditions of Al Ahli are also inconsistent with winning then they lose, and so on, while Al Ittihad has a record of 4 consecutive wins. With inconsistent conditions it is natural when we feel skeptical of them.

[rendravolt]

Ittihad and nassr were always become the main rivals for al hilal. I can hope that if al hilal will keep the current position till the end of season. The club needs also to make sure its opponent will not be lucky enough to win the game and al hilal can take such opportunity to climbing up.



There will some matches to come soon. Al ittihad will be facing al ahli which is becoming the most attractive match for this week. Al naasr and al hilal will be facing some weak teams.
It's unlikely al ittihad will be able to win the game against al ahli easily.

My pick for this week obviously

Al nassr
Al Ittihad
Al hilal.

That is the right bet for Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, but I am quite doubtful about the outcome of the Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ahli match, I feel Al-Ahli can still surprise the final result. Al-Ittihad's only advantage is that they play as hosts, but the quality of squad depth between the two is quite equal. In fact, I think Al-Ahli has a slight squad advantage over Al-Ittihad. Maybe I won't bet on Al-Ittihad and it's better to take the BTTS betting option or over goals because there will definitely be a lot of goals scored in this match later. At least 3 goals are definitely there in my opinion.

Despite Al Ittihad has Hamdallah, but this player's recent matches history wasn't good, he just lucky for score 5 goals until now.

It seems that Al Ahli Saudi in the last few matches has not gone very well, even in their last match they only won 2 wins and lost 2 times. Of course this is not good and it is risky to place a bet on Al Ahli Saudi, because the opponent that Al Ahli Saudi will face is Al Ittihad is worth asking because the record in its last match shows that there were no problems and in fact the results were very good compared to the opponent that Al Ittihad will face, it is possible that Al Ittihad will win easily because the opponent that Al Ittihad will face is a club that has a poor record. well in this season, so it seems to bet on Al Ittihad is the right decision for everyone..

If you compare Al-Ahli's performance in the last 2 seasons, there is indeed a big difference in strength between Al-ittihad and Al-Ahli. But this season Al-Ahli has changed rapidly to become quite strong and on par with Al-ittihad. I personally can't say Al-Ahli is stronger. Last season Al-Ahli did not participate in the SPL because they were relegated the previous season. But this season Al-ahli returned to the SPL and made more thorough preparations by buying many top European players. But even so, Al-Ittihad also took the same steps by buying many top European players. So it can be said that the match will look even and will be quite fierce. I will probably still favor Al-ittihad here. Because this club still has high consistency.

Saudi Arabia has been spending a lot of money since the beginning and trying to attract world renowned players in their league. They are quite successful here. But the reason they are suddenly focusing so much on football is that they don't want to be dependent only on oil. They are also trying to turn their attention to other areas to keep the next generation in tune with the world.

Almost all of us know that they want to bring the world cup football event to Saudi as well and show their dominance in football. Saudi Arabia wants to see football World Cup venue in their country. They are likely to realize this dream by 2034. Saudi Arabia has appealed to the FIFA president for the World Cup to be held every two years. this Proposals arise up in 2018 by head of South American football and FIFA vice-president Alejandro Dominguez. This definitely shows how serious Saudi Arabia is about football. They want to see their reign in football at any cost.

It is true that currently the Saudi Arabian government is investing in many things. Apart from football they also invest in other things. Yes, they are aware that they will not be able to continue to depend on income from oil. So currently they are preparing investments in other fields to get ready when income from petroleum may not last forever. Even with the existence of electric vehicles, the world is currently starting to switch to renewable energy. Maybe Saudi Arabia also sees this.

The Public Investment Fund (PIF) is Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth foundation which is even said to be one of the largest sovereign foundations in the world today. Because his wealth reaches $ 500 billion. So pouring quite a large amount of funds into clubs that are currently owned by PIF is a natural thing. Because the wealth of this foundation is truly enormous. So bringing in lots of star players is not a problem for them.

And there is no mistaking that Saudi Arabia really wants to be in the world spotlight, especially in the sport of football. And yes now it has worked. Because currently the Saudi Arabian football match has been broadcast in many countries and even Europe. But Saudi Arabia will definitely want even greater popularity. So don't be surprised if next season there will be more top European players and coaches coming to the Arab league.

After promotion and spending good amount for having quality players from Europe things were going well favorable for the Al Ahli but now in last four matches they are having problems because they are fail to have results which ere expected two loses one draw and just one win with now going to visit Al Ittihad which is currently at the third spot and desperately looking for the back to at the top of league table their current form and player quality surely having good advantage in this game.

Al Ittihad is having better record against the Al Ahli and surely things will be not tough for them in this game my prediction for this game is Al Ittihad going to win this match by score of 3 - 1 because they will be played with full force as Al Hilal and Al Nassr are also now having improved performance for the title race.

Change of leadership is creating good things for the peoples here in this region now Al-Saud which is having control of this country for the 100 years bringing positive changes and want to be live with modest mind and approach which is surely positive thinking and this Saudi League which is having Billions of USD as funding from the Government is also part of their mind-set for having good positive changes.

They are spending good amount for the hosting of 2030 soccer world cup which is under-pipeline but for this success now they are also funding this project which having world's best soccer players in first season and more are going to join in coming months as well which is good for the spirit of the game but their proposal for the having this event after every two years is not suitable because this will create good workload and things will be complicated for the all parties hopefully we will have good changes with more countries for playing and hosting for the better result.

Al nassr
Al Ittihad
Al hilal.

That is the right bet for Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, but I am quite doubtful about the outcome of the Al-Ittihad vs Al-Ahli match, I feel Al-Ahli can still surprise the final result. Al-Ittihad's only advantage is that they play as hosts, but the quality of squad depth between the two is quite equal. In fact, I think Al-Ahli has a slight squad advantage over Al-Ittihad. Maybe I won't bet on Al-Ittihad and it's better to take the BTTS betting option or over goals because there will definitely be a lot of goals scored in this match later. At least 3 goals are definitely there in my opinion.

On paper, Al Nasr and Al Hilal have a big chance of winning the match. especially, if we refer to the available odds.  It's just that, if you want to bet, especially with limited funds. Is it ideal to bet on the 1x2 option, so the more suitable options are handicap or Under/Over.

Well, what's interesting is the Al Ittihad vs Al-Ahli match. IMO, this match will present quite a tough match between these two teams. Plus, it looks like the home team still won't play Karim Benzema. For this one, I really had difficulty finding the information.  Talking about the meeting between these two teams, of the 4 matches the two teams met, Al-Ahli was unable to overthrow Al Ittihad. Al Ittihad won 3 of the 4 matches and one match ended in a draw.

At this meeting, there was something different about these two teams. Now, they both have some of Europe's top players. For me, what makes Al Ittihad superior is because they play at home. playing in front of his supporters, provides a big influence and strong motivation to win this battle. It's just that, for some reason, in this match I felt that Firmino would score another goal. However, whether Al-Ahli will win this match. or, the match will end in a draw. If I had to choose and bet on this match, I would choose Al-Ahli. Apart from the fact that they also have top European players, my feeling is that Al-Ahli will be able to overthrow the home team. Either this is a bad feeling, or a good feeling. Also remember, Al-Ahli's odds are quite tempting at @3.30. This match will be held tomorrow, so let's just wait.

Saudi Pro League have attracted the vast majority of football lovers with their elite teams, signing important players from the transfer window. All these European signings started when Cristiano Ronaldo signed for Al Nassr and they gained important concentration in football and also from European competition. Saudi Arabia have developed the SPL football to a total new heights, not just with their determination but backup with substantial figures. Bringing in European players, specifically big names that have gained fame in the football space, probably they improved in forthcoming years.

Saudi Arabia managed to attract great attention. They did it with their money, but they were successful. World famous players preferred the Saudi Arabian league. If they aimed to draw the next generation's attention in a different direction, I think they were successful. Currently, both countries and the world are talking about the Saudi Arabian league.

The Saudi Arabian league will be talked about more, especially during the transfer periods. I think they will continue to add many stars to their league in the upcoming transfer period.

[karabiber]

Who knows, maybe destiny had different plans?
Ronaldo, the savior for Al Nassr. Al Nassr, once the underdogs, now stand tall in the Arab league and aim to win the Saudi Pro League trophy. However, Al Hilal has won the domestic league title a remarkable 18 times. The club has recently signed Neymar. So, what I mean is, the stage is set for an epic battle between Al Nassr, Al-Ettihad, and the towering 18-time Saudi Pro League winners, Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal didn't lose any match yet and they are trying their best to keep the first spot for them. Their 2 draws made the others close to them. Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are heavy contenders for the title also but I am impressed with Al-Taawoun and Al-Ettifaq resistance so far among the top teams.

Ittihad and nassr were always become the main rivals for al hilal. I can hope that if al hilal will keep the current position till the end of season. The club needs also to make sure its opponent will not be lucky enough to win the game and al hilal can take such opportunity to climbing up.



There will some matches to come soon. Al ittihad will be facing al ahli which is becoming the most attractive match for this week. Al naasr and al hilal will be facing some weak teams.
It's unlikely al ittihad will be able to win the game against al ahli easily.

My pick for this week obviously

Al nassr
Al Ittihad
Al hilal.

AL Nassr FC vs Abha Club
Al Nassr's last official matches have been quite exciting. The first half of their last two games has not been exciting but considering Abha's defensive problems, we can expect a much more eventful first half. The addition of Talisca to Cristiano Ronaldo's goals will boost Al Nassr's offense. My suggestion for the coupons is a goal in the first half.

AL Ittihad FC vs AL Ahli Saudi FC
Al Ittihad is having problems on offense in the last games. They have not performed well in the last two games. They are not getting the desired contribution from their quality feet in the offense. Al Ahli, on the other hand, are a team that makes mistakes in defense. Among the top teams, there is no other team that makes as many mistakes as them. I expect Al Ittihad to score the first goal in this match with a good start. I suggest the home side to score first.

[Doell]

Ittihad and nassr were always become the main rivals for al hilal. I can hope that if al hilal will keep the current position till the end of season. The club needs also to make sure its opponent will not be lucky enough to win the game and al hilal can take such opportunity to climbing up.

At least 3 goals are definitely there in my opinion.

I also doubt on Ittihad match which will be against Al Ahli, as you said, these both teams have quite equal in their squad depth. So indeed, Al Ahli might be able to make a surprise in that match. King Abdullah Sports City is Al Ahli home too, the two teams have the same stadium. So there is no advantage here for Ittihad, because their fans are probably not that different, and I think there is a possibility this match will end in a draw result.

[hahay]

Al Ittihad I don't think is that much stronger compared to Al Ahli so yeah the odds are quite strange but remember every time that we think the odds are strange the bookies know something that we don't so I would be careful on betting on that game.

It's because Al Ittihad is currently in higher position than Al Ahli and the match will happen in Al Ittihad's home, that's make Al Ittihad is the favorite. But I also agree if Al Ahli has a better quality, I think Al Ahli will beat Al Ittihad with small margins.

Despite Al Ittihad has Hamdallah, but this player's recent matches history wasn't good, he just lucky for score 5 goals until now.

Lol, how do you calculate that Al Ahli has better quality than Al Ittihad? Because after all, Al Ittihad is basically the defending champion this season and also, Al Ittihad has a better record of winning trophies compared to Al Ahli . So yes, I was surprised when you stated that Al Ahli has better quality than Al Ittihad, because I am sure that in terms of the quality of the current squad and also their current performance, of course Al Ittihad has better quality. So yes, regarding the match between Al Ittihad against Al Ahli where Al Ittihad will play at home, it is clear and not surprising if Al Ittihad is the favorite to win this match.

[tusandii]

My pick for this week obviously

Al nassr
Al Ittihad
Al hilal.

From some of the matches you mentioned it seems like you should be little more careful when placing bet on Al-Ittihad match because against Al-Ahli, they are not weak club and if you choose to bet Al-Ittihad you will run the risk of draw because after all Al-Ahli has very strong defense strong and in upcoming match it is better to choose another option such as both club scoring it would be better because both clubs will score at least 1 goal each.
For Al-Nasr and Al Hilal your choice is right but you will only get very small odds and for me you have to look for other alternative options to get slightly higher odds.
It looks like the match between the top clubs will change position in points table and I am worried that Al-Ittihad will be replaced by Al-Nasr or Al Taawon who are facing weak club.

Al Ittihad boss, Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo did his best to accumulate important points for the team, they're presently in good shape to win important games. This is football, long-time records are broken every season, Al Ittihad might be weigh better thannAl Ahli but with the present form, stats do changes because of the present squad in the team. Checking their past meetings, Al Ittihad do have an upper hand because they have consistently record thrilled victory against Al Ahli who's also struggling to come up with something better.
