Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Phoenix Anka]

Al Hilal are favorites to get the Saudi Pro League home as they’ve kept their winning streak not just for a while but also shown serious title contender performances when they come across club sides from the league e.g the 9-0 trashing over the weekend. But, hold up; there’s an Al Nassr who’s got a GOAT, CR7 in it and leading. CR7 could lead his team to top of the log when they face this Al Hilal side over the weekend in a fixture that is seen as that for top of the log position

Are you talking about the match Al Hilal vs Al Nassr in matchday 15, right?
I think both teams have almost the same chance because they are in good form now. They also have quality players and they have great strikers. Al Hilal has Mitrovic, meanwhile Al Nassr has Ronaldo. But surely Al Nassr star players are more popular than Al Hilal star players. However, the result of the match won't be determined by the popularity. I think which team that can play more solidly, they will win the match.

Well, 9 goals made by Al Hilal can't be the big reason for them to beat Al Nassr. Al Nassr is much sronger than Al Hazm. However, playing at home can be the advantage for Al Hilal but  I don't think it will bring significant impact.

Al Nassr must win the match against Al Hilal. Al Hilal won the match by a large margin, scoring a 9-goal victory. This will allow Al Nassr to concentrate more on the match and I am sure they will provide extra work and training for this match. My heart is for Ronaldo to win.

After Al Hazm was attacked by Al Hilal with a score of 0-9, tomorrow Al Hazm will compete against Al Riyadh. In my opinion, the Al Hazm coach must prepare and build Al Hazm's mentality so that they can perform optimally in the next match and in the previous match, Al Riyadh won the match against a strong team, Al Taawon, with a score of 2-1 through goals from S. Al Abbas and B. Toure and The match was full of drama because both teams received red cards. The strength of Al Riyadh was extraordinary because they were able to beat Al Taawon. Of course Al Taawon is ranked higher than Al Riyadh, so I think in the next match against Al Hazm I predict that Al Riyadh will be win. and I predict 3-0 for al riyadh to win. but sometimes the results of the match are difficult to predict

I also want to know what your opinion is about the Al Hazm match against Al Riyadh, whether it will be like against Al Hilal which produced lots of goals.

Several European players have succeeded in bringing Arab clubs to compete at the top. They are able to compete with some of Europe's top players whose age is still very good for a league in Europe. But because of the money, it seems that the players bet with his career and go to the SPL because of money. But it seems that not all are successful. Like Ruben Navas who is rumored to return to the EPL with Newcastle. Then 21-year-old Gabri Viega and Jota who could possibly return to Europe. This is because they cannot adapt and their appearance decreases.

First you must understand that the club owner in this league also has a club in the Premier League like Newcastle so if there are Saudi Pro League players moving to Newcastle, it doesn't mean they fail or cannot adapt but it is part of the rotation of the player especially if Newcastle need players to replace injured players. Previously, it was even rumored that Ronaldo would move to Newcastle if they qualified for the next stage of the Champions League well, maybe this also happens to other players when Newcastle needs them.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr tends to become the only teams that tops the table with brilliant scores in matches. These teams have proven themselves to become valuable in previous matches played and they will continue to do better because they're lacking something they all wants which is winning the SPL title this season. I'm in support of Al Nassr to win because they have suffered from years to lift the SPL title while Al Hilal have been Champs and they still want to be Champs this season which is totally unacceptable for other clubs.

I can't wait for the Al Nassr match against Al Hilal, and after the match we will know which one is stronger, I think predicting the result of this match is very difficult because at Al Hilal there is Mitrovic whose quality of play is good and I also saw Malcom from In terms of his game, I see that he is good and his kicks are extraordinary, so he was able to score 3 a goal against Al Hazm.

and Cristiano Ronaldo is also in good form and I saw that his performance in the Euro qualifiers was very good, and I also saw that when Al Nassr played with Al Okhdood, Cristiano Ronaldo performance was very good and he scored two goals.
I think with Cristiano Ronaldo s.al najei and talisca will be able to compete against al hilal. Indeed, Al Hazm was defeated by Al Hilal with a score of 0-9, but of course it is not certain that Al Hilal will win against Al Nassr. because Al Nassr is a strong club.

Thrashing a team 9-0 is simply easy for Al Hilal because they're top club. Al Hilal have been dominating game from day one, so I'm not excited with Mitrovic good form and banging goals, rather I'm more concerned with Cristiano Ronaldo who came to a struggling team and now his presence have elevated them to become one of the tough standards, watching them compete with Al Hilal for the SPL title is encouraging for the Knights of Najd. Cristiano Ronaldo alone is consider to be hefty in Al Nassr and he has singlehandedly deliver them in crucial moments this season and since his arrival in Saudi Arabia.

Cristiano Ronaldo struggled a lot when he landed with his new club in 2022. But so far this year, he has been superb. And one factor that worked in Al Nassr's favor is the entry of Sadio Mané. He has developed a close bonding with Ronaldo and the opposite team defenders are finding it tough to handle this combination. And then they have quality players such as Talisca and Marcelo Brozović backing them up. They are still 4 points behind Al Hilal. But if luck is on their side, then it is perfectly possible to overtake Al Hilal to reach the top spot in the  points table.

[BRINIRHA]

One of the most interesting matches this week was the match played between Al Ta'ee and Al Raed. In the 90th minute, Al Raed was ahead 3-1, but it was Al Ta'ee who won the match 4-3. They scored 3 goals in extra time, which is an incredible success. I think there are no or very few teams in Europe or the world that have achieved this success. All the miracles that needed to happen to win this match 4-3 in extra time happened.

Well, it's a match that might have a very surprising result. But it was very natural for Al-Raed to lose in the second half because they only played with 10 players for the second half. Because in the minute of added time in the first half, one of the Al-Raed players received a red card. But Al-Raed can still maintain their advantage in normal times. But yeah, it was a miracle for Al-Tai because they were able to score 3 goals in added time a few minutes before the match ended.

But I think I remember that there was a match that was almost similar to the results of this match. That is, one of the teams was trailing by 3 goals but then in the second half they were able to turn things around by scoring 4 or 5 goals. I forget what team's match it was at that time. But I think it's still in the Saudi Pro League. I tried to dig further but haven't found it. What is clear at that time was that more than 7 goals were scored in one match. or maybe around 9 goals were scored. I forget. but maybe someone here also remembers it.

All the miracles that needed to happen to win this match 4-3 in extra time happened.

One of the factors that enabled the home team to come back and turn things around was the red card received by player Al Raed in the 45+1' minute. Al Raed still played well and managed to score a goal even though they were playing with 10 players, but it cannot be denied that playing with 10 made it difficult for them to maintain their lead, and the extra time was like a disaster for the visiting team, where one of their players made a mistake which led to an own goal. and the addition of two goals from the opponent destroyed all the advantages they were trying to maintain.

The 2005 Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool was an epic match, because AC Milan was leading 3-0 in the first half but was equalized by Liverpool so the match had to be decided by a penalty shootout and interestingly Liverpool were the ones who won the title.
There is always a chance that we will see the team that is left behind come back, but that doesn't always happen.

Al Nassr must win the match against Al Hilal. Al Hilal won the match by a large margin, scoring a 9-goal victory. This will allow Al Nassr to concentrate more on the match and I am sure they will provide extra work and training for this match. My heart is for Ronaldo to win.

I'm in support of Al Nassr to win because they have suffered from years to lift the SPL title while Al Hilal have been Champs and they still want to be Champs this season which is totally unacceptable for other clubs.

Al-Hilal has won many titles and lifted trophies in the SPL. So I also hope that this season Al-Nassr can win the title in the SPL. Last season Al-ittihad was successful. And maybe this season Al-Nassr should also succeed. But we also have to admit that Al-Hilal is really strong this season. Even Al-Nassr seems to have to work harder for this match. Because when facing Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr cannot create the slightest gap. Because you know, the Al-Hilal attackers are very effective in taking advantage of opportunities when their opponents have gaps.

The most important thing is that Al-Nassr must be in their best condition if they want to win against Al-Hilal. because Al-hilal also has the best defense this season among all SPL clubs. The presence of K. Koulibaly makes Al-hilal's defense very solid this season.

Reportedly Al-Ettifaq is planning David De Gea's move to the Saudi league and of course they will have a great goalkeeper to start in the middle of the season. Previously there were rumors that David De Gea would not go to the Saudi league because his wife did not agree to the move and it was possible that David De Gea would be closer to joining Inter Miami in MLS. But things can still change and the player's decision will be the determining factor in this transfer. Even though it is still in the trying stage for Al-Ettfaq to bring in David De Gea, it is certain that the popularity of the Saudi league will increase even more with the arrival of European players.

Even though he is no longer young, his performance can still be said to be quite good. Therefore, I think De Gea would prefer to join Inter Miami. Moreover, there is a very strong reason why De Gea is reluctant to join the Saudi Arabian League. Therefore, a very strong candidate for the club that De Gea is likely to visit is Inter Miami. The reason is, if De Gea joins Inter Miami, he will be reunited with his old friends, namely Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. Apart from that, the atmosphere of playing in the American League will certainly not make it difficult for De Gea to adapt.

Because when it comes to money too, De Gea was once offered a fairly large salary by Al Nasr. But De Gea still refused, because his wife did not agree with this.

Former Manchester United (MU) goalkeeper, David de Gea, rejected a tempting offer to reunite with Cristiano Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian League. The Spanish goalkeeper reportedly refused to move to Saudi Arabia even though he was offered a salary of 500 thousand pounds (Rp. 9.67 billion) per week.

Even with a fairly large salary, De Gea is still reluctant to play in the Saudi Arabian League. This means that the money factor may not be the main thing for De Gea in choosing the club he will visit. But maybe it's more about the atmosphere and also the comfort factor for himself and his family.

I was just checking the momentums of the teams, and it is obvious that Al-Hilal is playing on another level, they have built by far the best team without a doubt, but seriously considering the situation, Al-Nasr is going great too. I mean obviously one of them will win, and whichever team ends up losing the league, it will be quite terrible for them.

I think it's quite obvious that we are talking about something that will be a bit different and I believe that we are going to end up seeing one team be super upset about losing. Al-Hilal by all means looks like they are going to win the league, but Al-Nasr definitely played like a champion all season long as well and if/when they lose, that's going to hurt a lot. Plus if Al-Nasr fails to win, it will be second year in a row when Ronaldo lost this league, everyone would love to see him win a title here before he retires, seems like he will keep on playing for a few more seasons at least, so he still has  chance.

I also want to see Cristiano Ronaldo win this season because last season he failed to bring Al Nassr to become champions. and at that time Al-Ittihad was the champion and won 72 points while Al-Nassr only got 67 points, but the number of goals produced was of course more. Al-Nassr compared to Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr got 63 goals while Al-Ittihad got 60 goals. I think this season the tough challenge for Al-Nassr is Al-Hilal, because from a defensive perspective Al Hilal is very good and also in terms of attack there is Mitrovic who is of course a talented player and his performance is also good. But in the Arab Club Champions Cup, of course Al-Nassr has a history of winning the match against Al-Hilal through a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.

and in this forum there are those who support Al-Nassr, there are also those who support Al-Hilal, the conclusion is that Al-Nassr has a chance of becoming champion, as does Al-Hilal. Just enjoy watching the match later.

LOL.. football players are losing out because of their wives and girlfriends. Even in case of Lionel Messi, the reason why he chose Major League Soccer over Saudi Professional League was due to the insistence of his wife (Antonela Roccuzzo) who was reluctant to move to Saudi Arabia. Now David De Gea becomes the second player who is choosing MLS over SPL due to the same reason. I just hope that these players don't regret about it later in their life. Their careers are almost over and SPL represented the final opportunity to get a big fa retirement package.

After Al Hazm was attacked by Al Hilal with a score of 0-9, tomorrow Al Hazm will compete against Al Riyadh. In my opinion, the Al Hazm coach must prepare and build Al Hazm's mentality so that they can perform optimally in the next match and in the previous match, Al Riyadh won the match against a strong team, Al Taawon, with a score of 2-1 through goals from S. Al Abbas and B. Toure and The match was full of drama because both teams received red cards. The strength of Al Riyadh was extraordinary because they were able to beat Al Taawon. Of course Al Taawon is ranked higher than Al Riyadh, so I think in the next match against Al Hazm I predict that Al Riyadh will be win. and I predict 3-0 for al riyadh to win. but sometimes the results of the match are difficult to predict

I also want to know what your opinion is about the Al Hazm match against Al Riyadh, whether it will be like against Al Hilal which produced lots of goals.

I don't expect al hazm will able to win against al riyadh. It's not about how coach shall prepare or what ever it is. I remind you that the quality of players of club will be also making the different in the match. You have a good coach but since you have very bad quality of players and how can the bad result can be changed? BTW, al hazm is likely facing another lose against riyadh. Winning against al hamz will help riyadh to get three points from its opponents which are very beneficial for the club.
Riyadh will not be trying to miss an opportunity to perform better against al hazm. Al hazm's mentality has already been destroyed due to the big lose against al hilal. I have no hope for hazm to face riyadh. It's going to face another lose again.
I obviously goes for riyadh rather than haaland. The odds is pretty small consider riyadh was not also in a good shape too. Riyadh may able to get cleansheet against hazm.

On the stock exchange last summer, De Gea rejected the offer from Al-Nassr. But I don't know whether now he will also reject the offer from Al-ettifaq or not. Because after he was released from Manchester United, De Gea is still a free transfer until now. And it seems that there are no or not many European clubs interested in bringing in De Gea. Maybe he is no longer young because he is already 33 years old. But actually, in terms of performance, he is still good. De Gea's poor performance last season at Manchester United was because Man United's back line was also quite bad. So, Onana, who was brought in from Inter Milan, actually looked bad when he was Man United's goalkeeper. I personally hope De Gea goes to the SPL rather than MLS. But let's see what's next. And actually Al-ettifaq, who is now under the care of Steven Gerrard, is good enough to be De Gea's next goal. But I doubt he will accept it. In fact, if De Gea goes to the SPL, I'm sure he will find his popularity again here.

Have super big match in this week between Al Hilal vs Al Nassr both teams are the top standings position right now, actually Al Hilal on the top performed after winning 9-0 over Al Hazm and will continue with the winning trend against Al Nassr? on other side, the opponent team Al Nassr won't loss points yet because keep pressure Al Hilal with fewest points left how to get chance to win domestic league tittle. Its not balance comparison Al Hazm as weakness teams against Al Hilal, I think Al Nassr have top perform and Cristiano Ronaldo lead top scorer will make difference result or stop the winning trend from Al Hilal.

I am waiting with Cristiano Ronaldo can continue scoring goals for Al Nassr after success scoring every goals on every match in domestic league, he leaded top scorer awhile and Al Hilal will difficult teams for scoring goals?

Al Hilal and Al Nassr has been the most consistent teams in the Saudi League since the start of the season and considering what they've been able to do in the current league campaign, there's no doubt that a lot of football fans all over the globe will certainly be glued to their screens for their crucial fixture this weekend.

Having been able to not lose a game in the Saudi Pro League this season, Al Hilal is currently at the top of the league standings and four points ahead of Al Nassr who's already lost two games this season. Cristiano Ronaldo who's the top scorer in the league is Al Nassr's most reliable player at the moment and would want to help his team to win against Al Hilal on Friday so they can close the point difference to just one point.

if De Gea will go sign a contract with Al-Ettifaq I think he is breaking his own rules and what he has said before is just BS or just drama to get a big european club.

previously De Gea stated that he would retire if no big european team would sign him but it was very funny that after approaching the transfer market opening again De Gea made rumors about him coming to Al-Ettifaq while the team in the SPL was not what he wanted.

Its true that everything can change just because of money, but at least De Gea does not need to say anything about the previous thing that would make himself embarrassed as if he were begging a big european team.

The biggest shock in the league is a decreasing performance of Al Ittihad. They got Benzema from Real Madrid but failed to compete with Al Hilal and Al Nassr even Al Nassr had very bad start in this season. If all three clubs continue the same forms as they have been doing, Al Ittihad will fail to defend their title. The season is long and Al Ittihad have time to do something, playing better and hope that both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will have some bad matches.

Money can change his mind or he can change his mind because of the league growth last two years. He is an old goalkeeper and he is smart enough to take any chance to play and get good money before his retirement.

The league has changed a lot since the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo and if De Gea decides to play last seasons of his career in Saudi Professional League, I won't feel any surprise. I want to see De Gea playing in Europe because he is still a very good goalkeeper and can play at highest level like Champions League.
