Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[JeffBrad12]

The big match in week 11 is Al Hilal vs Al Ahli, seeing how Al Hilal's performance so far and how they keep performing well, making them the only unbeaten team this season and will provide great difficulties for Al Ahli to add points from this match.
But actually, this match will be a great opportunity for Al Ahli to reduce the difference in points with the leader of the standings Al Hilal, but of course the home team does not want that to happen because their closest competitor Al Taawon, which in week 11 will face Damac will have a great chance of winning so that Al Hilal and Al Taawon points are the same 26, and my prediction is that Al Ahli's best chance in this match is to make the match end in a draw because to beat Al Hilal is quite difficult considering how they are quite good at maintaining performance.

I think that all of eyes being concentrated into the match between al hilal vs ahli. It's caused by these teams are the strongest team in the saudi pro league this time. Al hilal being favored to win the game even though it will be playing without its key players,.
IMO, it's really wise decision to pick al hilal here caused by the odds offered to pick hilal is far better compared with over 2,5 and btts. Over 2,5 would be easy to achieve caused by these teams will be playing aggresively against al ahli.
This is the most awaiting match for this week. I expect al hilal to perform out of box against al ahli especially for mitrovic. This guy is very ready in beating al ahli easily.

I can see a Cristiano Ronaldo top scorer in wo champions League the Europe one and the Asian one, but still time to see that.

I already said this, but really good to see him again finding his place and being  handy in the team.

[Leviathan.007]

Of course Al Hilal will be more favored in this match even though Al Ahli has the ability to withstand attacks from Al Hilal but looking at the history of Head To Head Al Hilal always wins when they host and always wins with a big score by Al Hilal.
In the upcoming match, I am still confident that Al Hilal will win, even though Al Ahli can withstand the attack, it will not last long and I predict that in the second half Al Ahli will concede a lot.

Al-Hilal didn't lose any game yet after 10 rounds, receiving 7 goals which is the lowest in Saudi Pro League and scoring 27 goals, which is also the best after Al-Nassr.
Al-Hilal has one of the best players making the attack and defence line very good and efficient.
Of course Al-Ahli has also good players like Mahrez, Firmino, Mendy and the others and could make a surprise but I think best they can do is to pick a point from them in this match.

The thing about Al-Hilal is they are strong with or without players like Neymar and Al-Hilal is the favorite in the Saudi Arabia in every season. Even in the AFC Champions League they usually have a much higher chance compared to the other teams.
I think if they bought Neymar it was mostly because of the marketing because they didn't even need this player.

 Al-Hilal has been a very tough team in the Saudi Pro League even before the arrival of most top European players into the league they've been the champions over 18times and have won it more than anyother team in the Saudi Pro League, i think this season there's a very high chance of them winning the league title to make it he 19th time cause their performance this season is very brilliant and they've maintained the 1st place in the league for a while now and even the only team that's yet to be unbeaten.

 However with or without Neymar Jnr I think Al-Hilal are going to continue performing well, he's not really created a big impact for the team since his arrival and they were already doing fine before he joined the team, moreover the team also has several good European players presently in the squad especially their striker Mitrovic that's a very good finisher.

Hilal will be only playing with mitrovic as the key to win the game against ahli. Ahli had so many great players in its club unlike al hilal which was only able relying upon mitrovic. I hope that al hilal will able to take full points from al ahli. There are so many threats from ahli.
Al hilal must be careful with it but im all in al hilal. It's caused mitrovic is a very great striker and he can carry the team alone with so many goals being made by him.
Im not even doubting mitrovic's performance to face al ahli. Ahli needs to be careful with it. It's caused by the club is always winning with big scores.

There is a 4-point difference between them and Al Hilal is currently the leader. Al Ahli has no choice but to beat them. They also have the opportunity to close the point gap between them with a win. Considering this, there are many sources of motivation for Al Ahli. If Al Hilal wins, it will push Al Ahli out of the race.

I can see a Cristiano Ronaldo top scorer in wo champions League the Europe one and the Asian one, but still time to see that.

I already said this, but really good to see him again finding his place and being  handy in the team.

Who will beat Cristiano Ronaldo now will not be an easy way to go. He's taking leadership role in the league as an entirety. My assumptiond from beginning was that he perform greatly well as a star player that he is but his performance won't last long since he's close to the brink of his career.

I thought Neymar Jr and Karim Benzema will also shine like stars in the league too but I've not been so impressed by their performance. Especially that of Neymar Jr. The injury that guy has landed him self is a total discouragement to his club. With that injury, it will take him almost a season off and for me it is a total wastage.

Who do you think can overtake Cristiano Ronaldo in the league right now?

[Zlantann]

However with or without Neymar Jnr I think Al-Hilal are going to continue performing well, he's not really created a big impact for the team since his arrival and they were already doing fine before he joined the team, moreover the team also has several good European players presently in the squad especially their striker Mitrovic that's a very good finisher.

Neymar would have made a lot of impact in the Al-Hilal squad but his injury problems have began to deprive the club from his skills and experience. But thankfully the club is not doing badly both in the local and continental League. They are number one in the Saudi Professional League three points above second placed  Al-Taawoun. While they are occupying the second position in Group B in the AFC Champions League.

I can see a Cristiano Ronaldo top scorer in wo champions League the Europe one and the Asian one, but still time to see that.

I already said this, but really good to see him again finding his place and being  handy in the team.

The current highest goal scorer in the AFC Champions League is Al-Hilal SFC's Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serbian forward have scored four goals in three games. Cristiano Ronaldo is joint second position with three goals in three games. But with his recent form and it he is free from injuries, we could see him scoring more goals.

[Leviathan.007]

Al-Nassr played today in the Asian Champions League, there is no doubt that they will definitely be the favorites to win because they play at home and have a better squad, Al-Nassr has recorded 2 wins and today they will complete it with their 3rd win or become group winner. This season the teams from the Saudi Pro League dominate in almost all groups Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr became the leaders of the group I can't imagine if 2 of these clubs managed to go to the final By the way Al-Nassr managed to score the first goal in the 23 minute through Talisca and this is the 4th goal in the Asian Champions League, I have bet on Al-Nassr -3/4 in the first half but I need one more goal for full win.

And in the end Al-Nassr was able to win the match again in the AFC Champions League. But in the second half everything became more tense. Because 6 goals from both teams came in the second half. The final score was 4-3 with victory of course for Al-Nassr. In this match CR7 scored 2 goals. And I'm happy that Mane also scored a goal in this match. Talisca seems like this player is always not behind in scoring goals. It's rare for an Al-Nassr match to pass without a goal from Talisca.

Arab clubs really performed extraordinary in the AFC Champions League. But this is quite natural because the squad depth of the Arab teams is the best at the moment.

You have to give credit to the club from Qatar Al-Duhail because when the score was 3:0 in favor of Al-Nasr they got together and scored 2 goals and made the score 3:2 and if not for the excellent 4th goal from Cristiano Ronaldo it is still unknown how the match would have ended, because the third goal then Al-Duhail scored. Ronaldo should be mentioned personally, because 2 of his goals are his merit, especially the third goal of Al Nasr when from the left foot from outside the penalty area, he scored into the far corner, as in his best years. 

Al-Duhail deserves praise. Not only because of the goals they scored in the second half. But in the first half they also almost scored against Al-Nassr several times. And in any case, Al-Duhail seems like this team can put up a good fight against a club filled with European super star players. And it's not easy. So as you said, I really have to give my praise and appreciation to Al-Duhail.

I don't know if this is just my feeling or maybe you also feel that the quality of CR7's game this season is getting better and better, like returning to his youth. Not only at Al-Nassr but CR7 also appeared impressive in the Portuguese national team. Even Bruno Fernandez, who is usually quite indifferent about CR7, is now starting to speak up and praise CR7. And in the match against Al-Duhail we could also see how CR7's passes and assists were truly beautiful and it reminded us of his best performance when he was young.

From what I saw in the game between Al Nassr against Al Duhail, I can definitely say they could get a draw in this match as the best result because Al Duhail is not a team to stand against a strong team like Al Nassr.
Also, the interesting thing about the match between these two teams is we know the difference between these two teams was Ronaldo, and thing without this player Al Nassr could not beat Al Duhail.

[hahay]

Currently, Ronaldo is still at the top of the top scorers list in the Saudi Pro League with 11 goals at the moment. But for the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo just has 3 goals so far, and the first position is filled by Aleksandar Mitrovic who plays for Al Hilal with 4 goals at this moment. So yes indeed, at least there is still a great chance for Ronaldo to be able to take over the top scoring position in the AFC Champions League. If Ronaldo manages to take over, then of course this season Ronaldo has a great chance to be able to win the top score in the Saudi Pro League and also in the AFC Champions League and of course, it is also a great achievement.

[ndutndut]

Al-Duhail deserves praise. Not only because of the goals they scored in the second half. But in the first half they also almost scored against Al-Nassr several times. And in any case, Al-Duhail seems like this team can put up a good fight against a club filled with European super star players. And it's not easy. So as you said, I really have to give my praise and appreciation to Al-Duhail.

Agree. Al-Duhail in this match really deserves praise, even though they lost, they managed to pose a threat to Al Nassr, this can be proven by them managing to score three goals in that match. They have put in real resistance and hard work in this match, but in every match there are definitely winners and losers.

I don't know if this is just my feeling or maybe you also feel that the quality of CR7's game this season is getting better and better, like returning to his youth. Not only at Al-Nassr but CR7 also appeared impressive in the Portuguese national team. Even Bruno Fernandez, who is usually quite indifferent about CR7, is now starting to speak up and praise CR7. And in the match against Al-Duhail we could also see how CR7's passes and assists were truly beautiful and it reminded us of his best performance when he was young.

I feel that on the contrary, from the past until now CR7 has always been the best of the best players. Playing anywhere and still being able to play well, CR7 is still able to maintain game consistency at the age of 38. At that age it is not easy to play against players who are 10 years younger or even 18 years younger than him. CR7 is also good at finding positions, hard kicks with right and left feet, good heading and complete. So it's natural that Bruno Fernandez finally praised him, CR7 is a magical player.

[rahmad2nd]

Hilal will be only playing with mitrovic as the key to win the game against ahli. Ahli had so many great players in its club unlike al hilal which was only able relying upon mitrovic. I hope that al hilal will able to take full points from al ahli. There are so many threats from ahli.
Al hilal must be careful with it but im all in al hilal. It's caused mitrovic is a very great striker and he can carry the team alone with so many goals being made by him.
Im not even doubting mitrovic's performance to face al ahli. Ahli needs to be careful with it. It's caused by the club is always winning with big scores.

Mitrovic will always be the key as the spearhead in the Al Hilal squad. however, what is dangerous are several other players, who are also productive in terms of scoring goals. Malcom, in his 10 matches, has scored 6 goals. This player was often rotated as a center forward before Mitrovic was brought to King Fahd Sadium. Michael, a foreign player who really understands the Al Hilal squad. He has always been an important part of the squad, even though currently he is often left out because of Neymar. Now, Neymar is injured and he can actively play again. Al Dawsari, a local player who has quite good talent. Not infrequently, he shows his neat game. This player has contributed at least 6 goals in 10 matches with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. Apart from that, Al Hilal has other players who contribute quite a lot, such as Segej Savic and Ruben Neves. These players have always been Jorge Jesus' mainstay when his team played match after match.

On the other hand, as we all know, Al-Ahli also has former top European players. Unfortunately, Firmino had difficulty scoring goals. he only scored a hat-trick on his first debut in the Saudi Pro League. After that, he no longer scored any goals in this competition. As for Mahrez, this player is a winger, he cannot always be expected to score goals even though he has scored 4 goals in his 10 matches. Likewise with Allan Saint-Maximin, he has only scored 3 goals so far. It's natural, he's not a pure sticker.  which means that in the meeting between these two teams, Al-Ahli must be wary of Al Hilal. moreover, Al-Ahli played as the away team. The victory they achieved against Al Ittihad may not be possible for them to achieve when competing against Al Hilal. In fact, I supported the home team in the battle between these two teams when it was held.

There is a 4-point difference between them and Al Hilal is currently the leader. Al Ahli has no choice but to beat them. They also have the opportunity to close the point gap between them with a win. Considering this, there are many sources of motivation for Al Ahli. If Al Hilal wins, it will push Al Ahli out of the race.

It is a relatively close race between the top teams in the Saudi Professional League, but I believe that over the course of the whole season the form that Ronaldo and Mane are in as of now may pay off for Al-Nassr despite the fact that they are slightly trailing. The next three games for Al-Nassr are not that hard and are all must wins. If they get the full 9 points out of the 3 games, I think they might be close enough to then take on Al-Hilal and Ittihad in December. If they play well and win those games, they might possess the lead by the beginning of next year.

Especially that of Neymar Jr. The injury that guy has landed him self is a total discouragement to his club. With that injury, it will take him almost a season off and for me it is a total wastage.

Who do you think can overtake Cristiano Ronaldo in the league right now?

Ronaldo has never declined when in a particular league and almost all the leagues he has played in is an interesting impression now the top scorer in the Arab League and the AFC League will be close because currently only Talisca with 5 goals in the AFC.
After all, we know how Ronaldo is now at the end of his career but it doesn't show that he has run out of playing style rather the older he gets the more skillful he is at the moment with Al Nassr.

Neymar only messed up the Al Hilal Club, he had to experience such a long injury, indeed if you look at it not only in this league for Neymar but with other teams Neymar is often injured so he cannot be relied on as a star player in the league now, his skills will continue to be fragile if he is often injured.
Benzema is still inferior to some European players in this league.

We can't say for sure, but Talisca has performed well as a duo with Ronaldo and Mane.

[Doell]

It is a relatively close race between the top teams in the Saudi Professional League, but I believe that over the course of the whole season the form that Ronaldo and Mane are in as of now may pay off for Al-Nassr despite the fact that they are slightly trailing. The next three games for Al-Nassr are not that hard and are all must wins. If they get the full 9 points out of the 3 games, I think they might be close enough to then take on Al-Hilal and Ittihad in December. If they play well and win those games, they might possess the lead by the beginning of next year.

Ronaldo and Mane their performance is undoubtedly, both of them are top and professional players, so Al Nassr would probably be fine if them not got any injured. But don't forget with Talisca too, him are Al Nassr mainstay striker because so far Talisca performance is not too bad. In terms of points, Al Nassr must stay close to Al Hilal if they want to win the Saudi Pro League title. And they must win in every match until they finally meet Al Hilal in December, but also it will be very lucky if Al Ahli succeeds in beating Al Hilal, because the gap will be very close later.

[temple]

His prime has gone. Nothing left other than being injury prone. Many people are also feeling disappointed with him. Impossible to get ballon d'or with inconsistent performance like that, sometimes you play and sometimes you don't.
That's being called as inconsisntent from the player. The player needs to keep the consistency from his performance to get ballon d'or. Im not even willing to see neymar being nominated for that caused by he will not get it.
The better for him to focus on his recovery. This is far better rather than try to focus into the unimportant thing like that. Neymar has been indicated to absent for around 9 months and that's until the end of season or even more.

It really dosappointed me as one of hilal fans. I meant mitrovic needs to carry the club till the end of season. Mitrovic has a lot of burden. I hope he will not be injured as well.

Wow... I didn't know that and actually missed the news that he would be out for probably 9 months? This is unbelievable insanity in the face of the sums of money that have been paid as a transfer fee and also I wonder how much he will be receiving in salary, but if I had to make a guess I think that he has a contract that guarantees him a massive payment no matter whether he is injured or not. His management has certainly made sure during their negotiations that this would be one main precondition for him to sign a contract with the Saudi club. I guess the Saudis thought it can't be all too bad, but they probably did not expect that Neymar would literally disappear from the screen for the whole season.

[Leviathan.007]

Jorge Jesus the coach of Al Hilal said it was great damage for this team when Neymar got injured a few days ago. But Hussein Abdulghani the former player and captain of Al Nassr thinks Salem Aldawsari was not a player to leave the team. On the other hand not using Neymar could put Jorge Jesus under pressure and this could be the negative side of using Neymar and Abdulghani thinks Neymar could cause problems for Al Hilal.
Neymar played only five games for Al Hilal in this season and he scored only one goal for his team.
 

[Wiwo]

`

That is true that Neymar can do a whole lot of things when he is on the pitch and his fitness is good, but didn't Al-Hilal play well already without him? I am not sure when exactly he joined the team, but wasn't that when some games have been played?

It doesn't really matter because the bottom line is that Al-Hilal should have known before they signed him that it is extremely unlikely that he will play a whole season without injuries. I mean when he arrived he was still recovering from a surgery on his ankle, and it wasn't a light surgery, it was serious. That's why it was astonishing how much money they were still willing to pay for him.

I must give credit to Al-Hilal for their, shall we say, "bold" decision to secure Neymar. The man is incredible, but he's as fragile as my grandmother's antique vase! Consider Barcelona. Certainly, he averaged about 30 games per season there, but the attendance was hardly stellar. And coming to Al-Hilal, particularly after a major operation? They ought to have known better. Its like purchasing an expensive vehicle that is constantly in the repair. Sure, its attractive, but what good is it if it doesnt function? And the icing on the cake? The insignificant compensation from FIFA.

Neymar in Al Hilal is another big lip for the Saudi Arabian club side again,  this is very much important for them at this moment since a lot have to be done in some direction that warrant us to give that club side a big congratulation and fans are looking forward to seeing some great performance from the club in the up coming games,  this is very important since other European player who migrated to the Saidi Arabic club side are all doing great well at this time.

Neymar played only five games for Al Hilal in this season and he scored only one goal for his team.
 

Well that is the risk that Al-Hilal must take they know Neymar is vulnerable to injury fortunately Al-Hilal still has many European players who can replace Neymar's position, I am sure Aleksandar Mitrović can take a role and continue the title race. Within a few weeks Al-Hilal managed to secure the standings with a difference of 3 points from Al-Taawoun while al-Nassr is still waiting for the right moment to take over anyway, so far it cannot be predicted which team will win the title we have 4-5 teams that have the potential to get it. From my side, I am still sure al-Nassr has a greater chance if they can maintain consistency in every next match.

Al-Hilal indeed suffered a lot of losses as a result of buying Neymar from PSG in the transfer market and Neymar will be absent more or less 1 year. Al-Hilal should reconsider buying Neymar at a high price because when he was at PSG Neymar had suffered several injuries and considering that he is now 31 years old, of course his recovery cannot be as fast as when he was young.
Al-Hilal must accept these consequences or at least ask for compensation money from the Brazilian club because they injured Neymar.
But I am sure that even though Neymar will be absent for a long time, this will not affect Al-Hilal at all, they are performing well at the moment in the Saudi pro league and have not received defeat.

Al Hilal may have planned a great deal with Neymar by signing Neymar this season, but due to Neymar's long-term injury, Al Hilal's plans may have changed. Other teams have signed various European stars to make their squads strong enough that Neymar's absence will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the team. When Neymar was carried off the field, it was clear how serious his injury could be and he was later seen walking with a stick. If he is out of the field for six months or more, it can be assumed that he will not return this season, and if he does not return to the field for Al Hilal this season, Al Hilal will not be able to perform well against other teams. However, several Al Hilal videos have gone viral on social media showing Neymar's jersey being posted by his teammates together and saying they will stand by him.
