Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[asriloni]

Al Ittihad-Jeddah were down to 10 players early in the must-win match. When Alolayan brought down the last man, he received a red card and the card was correct. The position looked like a penalty, but a free kick was awarded and Al Raed couldn't take advantage of it. Now Al Ittihad-Jeddah is in big trouble. They will have to play with 10 players for a very long time. If they can't get 3 points, Al Ittihad-Jeddah will be far behind in the championship race. Al Hilal Riyadh has already broken away from other teams, but their chances in the race to finish in the top 3 and go to the AFC Champions League will be greatly reduced.

Really bad situation Al-Ittihad played with 10 players from the 12th minute luckily they were able to equalize the score even though it was the only shot on target. For this season there is nothing we can expect from Al-Ittihad they were already more than 20 points behind so it was impossible to catch up. Basically, this season Al-Ittihad is playing without ambition/target because the Saudi Pro League only provides 2 tickets for the Asian Champions League and we can be sure that Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have secured it. so Al-Ittihad just waits until this season ends and every future match has no impact this means we have to be more careful when placing bets on Al-Ittihad that would be more risky.

It's bad but ittihad won the game. The bad thing must be on the ettifaq's side as this club suffers another loss again. how many times ettifaq lost in this season after it has been managed by gerrard. gerrad had brought nothing for ettifaq.
This is also become a blunder from the management. I meant they were recruiting the new coach based on the popularity and how long experience in the football instead of how many achievements achieved by that coach in his career as a football coach.
There will be only two choices owned by ettifaq till the end of this season. The club can try to keep him or kick him. This is the most difficult task that must be done by ettifaq to save its club from being destroyed by gerrard with his hand.

I prefer to see ettifaq to change the current coach and start to consider offer lucrative payment to attract all of them. This is a sense idea that can be done by ettifaq at this moment.
Ettifaq is not as rich as its competitor, but bringing a good coach is a must for the club to climb up. Ettifaq needs to consider this or it will always stay at the bottom. This is the worst situation faced by ettifaq.

[rendravolt]

Al-Ittihad should not have lost last night's match against relegation zone team Al-Raed and even this was not a narrow defeat but rather a very convincing victory for Al-Raed away from home with a score of 1-3. A humiliating defeat at home made Al-Ittihad lose 3 points and this result made them even further behind the other top teams. Al-Ittihad is just sitting in 6th position and maybe this will be a bad season for them because they have been knocked out of the top 4.

Al-Ittihad are still not consistent and they lost points again in this match, even though previously they lost by the same score to Damac FC. It looks like the test for Al-Ittihad is still not over because the next match will bring them together against Al-Nassr and this is a big Saudi league match at the end of 2023. I think with the instability faced by Al-Ittihad, it is likely that they will lose points again, especially Al-Nassr have been much more consistent so far and they will definitely steal the 3 points away from home.

Al-ittihad is now starting to fall in the standings. In fact, Damac is now in 5th place, which is one rank above Al-ittihad. There was a reason for Al-ittihad's defeat in this match, namely because they had to play with 10 players from the 12th minute. Al-ittihad, who were 1 goal behind, even managed to equalize the score at 1-1 in the first half. But I felt that in the second half Al-ittihad actually got worse. Even though I hope Al-ittihad can survive better. But apparently they failed to even defend well.

The next match against Al-Nassr will certainly be a more difficult match. Although I'm not sure that Al-Ittihad will lose to Al-Nassr. But I'm pretty sure the performance of the two is a little different this time. Al-Nassr have been much more consistent this season. And betting on Al-Nassr also seems pretty convincing. But I think Al-ittihad usually gets better when they face strong teams. So this match will probably remain difficult to predict.

Indeed, it is a very difficult test when you have to play with 10 people and although there is a chance of being able to reverse the victory, it is also very small. The superior number of players will always be a powerful weapon to win the match and even for a weak team like Al-Raed this can be put to good use to gain 3 points.

The match against Al-Nassr will be a meeting between Benzema and Ronaldo, both of whom have played for Real Madrid for many seasons and this time the two friends will face each other to give the team they are playing for victory. Betting on the victory of one of these teams is quite risky and if you want to be safe the right betting option is BTTS (Yes) or a result of over 2.5 goals because there will definitely be more than 3 goals scored and I think Al-Ittihad has a much worse defense than Al-Nassr.

[shogun47]

Al-Hilal is scary if you see how they are doing, how many goals they have scored and how little the number of goals is that they conceded.

Al-Nassr has to hope for Al-Hilal to run into big problems. There are 16 games to go for Al-Hilal and will they really lose several games out of those remaining games? If yes, then Al-Nassr has to be ready to go for it, but I doubt that they will win all of their remaining games.

Al Hilal is the most team in the Saudi Pro League this season, scoring the most goals and conceding the fewest goals, and if we look at the difference it is very striking, that Al Hilal has 11 more goals in terms of productivity than Al Nassr who is in second place and also 11 goals conceded less than the same team too, that's an extraordinary statistic, and with 16 matches still to be played it is very possible that in week 28 Al Hilal will have confirmed themselves as champions of the Saudi pro league this season after their domination for several seasons was broken by Al Ittihad and they became champions again with exceptional statistics.

In the next game Ronaldo will meet his old friend Benzema when Ittihad plays against Al-Nassr. It is interesting to see those two players meet in that game, but I think it is obvious who is still the better player there. Benzema isn't getting close to Ronaldo at all and I think this won't change this season or next season. Both stay until 2025 in the Saudi Professional League, is that correct? I wonder what's going to happen afterwards or if both will retire.

[Leviathan.007]

Al-Nassr won 3:1 against Al-Ettifaq today, almost all the goals were scored in the second half. Cristiano Ronaldo also scored one from with penalty. This puts them in 2nd place in the Sausi Professional League, 10 points behind... and have played one game less. First place still belongs to Al-Hilal, who have won 10 games in the series, including one against Al-Nassr. If they hadnt won that one, the two teams might only be 1 point apart. It looks like Al-Hilal will win this season. If you look at the last 7 years, they have won the championship 5 times and Al-Nassr once.

I know Al Nassr is a strong team and beating Al Nassr is not something easy to do for any team but in the game between Al Ettifaq and Al Nassr, Al Ettifaq lost the game with a 3-1 result and they continued their weak performance in the Saudi league.
Steven Gerrard was a well-known player but it seems he is not a good coach and he is even close to getting fired from his team because of the result he got.
The last win for Steven Gerrard and his players in the Saudi league was in the 11th week.

[hahay]

Saudi Professional League organizer are trying their best for having one of the most famous soccer players into game as they are looking for the strong exposure of this league around the world, and they have enough funds and government back for this all as well which is giving them this courage to do things like these with we already know clubs are having no worth like they are paying to stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema and then have Neymar Jr which terminate contract due to injury.

The efforts of the Saudi Professional League organizer to attract internationally renowned soccer players, mentioning their financial backing and government support. The text also refers to the league's ambition to gain global exposure, contrasting it with the financial challenges faced by some clubs. If you're responding to this text, you might acknowledge the league's ambitious goals, express interest in the potential signings of famous players, and perhaps inquire about specific details or developments in this regard.

Is there another player more famous than Ronaldo? Because ya, at least I'm wondering, because currently at least Ronaldo is still a player who has a big influence in the world of football and it is difficult to compete with him, because some of the other great players in Europe are still young.

Therefore, I think it is not right if they target players who are more famous because at this moment the player who is very famous is still Ronaldo . But, if they say to bring in other star players then yes, at least it still makes sense about Salah, Modric and some other old players . But still, the Saudi Pro League will not be able to surpass the top European leagues which have more interesting competition every season.

[salad daging]

I know Al Nassr is a strong team and beating Al Nassr is not something easy to do for any team but in the game between Al Ettifaq and Al Nassr, Al Ettifaq lost the game with a 3-1 result and they continued their weak performance in the Saudi league.
Steven Gerrard was a well-known player but it seems he is not a good coach and he is even close to getting fired from his team because of the result he got.
The last win for Steven Gerrard and his players in the Saudi league was in the 11th week.

A poor result if their last win in week 11. Not a good sign for Gerrard.

It can be said that the Al Ettifaq squad has more great Al Nassr players than Gerrard's team so the ability of this team cannot exceed Al Nassr in this match maybe we can guess who will win because we know more talented players in Al Nassr.

I'm just curious for the next match between Ittihad vs Al Nassr so far Ittihad appears still less consistent than last season's champions, but in this match we can guess who will win and then dare to bet it.

[Volgastallion]

Marcelo Gallardo as new manager still unable to bringing Al Ittihad to performing well because from 4 latest matches in Saudi Pro League Al Ittihad only get 1 win and yesterday Al Ittihad have to suffering another loses from Al Raed and the red card indeed has been ruin their performance because since that incident Al Ittihad looks to lost their rhythm and this is their 5th loss of the season and they have  21 difference points below to Al Hilal the team who in the first place and i think they have to give up to defend their title because it's near to impossible to cut their points gap with Al Hilal

This Wednesday Al Ittihad will gets tough opponent Al Nassr and we all know currently Al Nassr is in the good shape with Ronaldo as their top scorer with 17 goals Al Nassr even has just beat Al-Ettifaq last week and Al Nassr also can advances to the semifinal of King Cup after eliminate Al Shabab with big scores so this is hard match for Al Ittihad even my predictions is Al Nassr will being an the winner of this match and the bookmakers even provided low odds for Al Nassr @1.50

Yeah incredible, i think he is gonna solve some of the problems of the team , they have great players, so i dont know what is happening there. It makes me think is something like Ajax is sufering this year, a lack of confident in themselves mixed up by a lot of mental issues.

[tusandii]

Al nassr was able destroying ettifaq and im sure all nassr will be doing the same against al ittifaq. Benzema may be feeling so confuse to see that al iffihad gets harder opponent to be faced soon. That odds is good enough consider ittihad is still underperform.
Ronaldo is going to face benzema again. Al Nassr, being a highly promising club, has motivated me to go all in and support their efforts in competing against Al Hilal for the title. Al hilal is a perfect team this time.
It was able to win against any team. mitrovic is the nightmare for ronaldo.

Understanding everything you say, it seems like you still really believe that Al Nassr can win against Ittihad and you also think that Ittihad is still in bad form.
But I have a different opinion and I refer to the history of meetings between these two clubs that the away match against Ittihad is still a nightmare for Al Nassr even though you say that Al Nassr can rely on Ronaldo to compete against Benzema but let's look at the history of the Head To Head 2 match The last meeting between the two Ittihad clubs was always the host and at that time Ronaldo was already Al Nassr's striker but in fact the results were very bad for Al Nassr who always lost, even without Benzema Ittihad could still beat Al Nassr.
Even though I really like Al Nassr, I can't avoid this because Ittihad is always strong at home, but I really hope this match can end in a draw to be able to maintain Al Nassr position because losing points is very dangerous when Al Ahli's point difference is only 3 points.

This match will bring together two former Real Madrid strikers, Benzema and Ronaldo, I think this match is very interesting to wait for. Statistically, Al Ittihad is in an unstable condition, and conversely Al Nassr has a better record in terms of collecting points. Al Ittihad luck because this match took place at their home ground, it provided more motivation for Benzema and his colleagues to secure full points.

Al Nassr ambition is to close the gap with Al Hilal at the top of the standings, which is currently 10 points behind. On the other hand, Al Ittihad no longer has the opportunity to defend the trophy, but they have the ambition to finish in a more worthy place next season. I predict this match will end in a draw, that's very fair for both of them.

With Al Ittihad's current condition, Al Nassr does have a better chance of improving its meeting record. However, as I said above, I have a tendency that this match will end in a draw, and if I had to choose I would avoid betting on this match.

I would maybe not compare Al Ittihad with Ajax Amsterdam as Ajax Amsterdam had a horrible experience at the beginning of the season whereas they could stabilize at some point. But Al Ittihad never really came into shape. They have some fundamental struggles to cope with. A new manager might be able to solve some of the problems. But for this season I think it's pretty much over as Al Hilal is teaching the rest of the league how to bring the game to perfection for SPL standards.

Ittihad was the unique game changing team,because it had their unique performance from the beginning of the game.Al Nassr also the good team,So this game will be the toughest game.We don’t know how the result will change till the end of the game.The history was based on the Al Nassr many times win towards the Ittihad,but this season game of the Ittihad was enough to rewritten the same history.The reason for the change because of the coach of the Ittihad was enough to make the team more stronger.The team player of the Ittihad accept the words of the coach without any hesitation.

If we compare based on the last performance of each team, it is normal that Al-Nassr is the favorite and comparing them based on match history is not ideal because because the line-up has been different since this season we know Al-Nassr already has some great players while in previous seasons it wasn't. Personally, I support Al-Nassr to win apart from Al-Nassr's good performance, another reason is to compete for the title I mean if Al-Nassr lose this match then the Saudi Pro League will no longer be interesting to wait for because we definitely know who will be the champion this season Al-Nassr was unable to catch up because it was already far behind, therefore I hope Al-Nassr wins so that the opportunity for the title is still open and we could still see an interesting fight ahead.

Apart from the battle at the top of the standings, we cannot ignore the battle at the bottom of the standings yeah 3 teams will fight to stay away from relegation and the teams in positions 10 to 15 are really not safe because the points are close to each other only 3 points away.  Apart from that, teams like Al-Damac are still of concern to us because they have succeeded in continuing the positive trend, Al-Damac managed to record 5 consecutive wins and can still continue this record. Unfortunately they don't have any targets because it is impossible to reach the top 2 to get a ticket to the Asian Champions League.

[Hirose UK]

Al Hilal and Al Nassr have huge difference in points, namely 10 points, but this happened because Al Nassr had one match canceled and it will take place on Wednesday next week against Ittihad FC.
If Al Nassr wins in this match, the point difference will be little closer, and Al Nassr victory yesterday 3 - 1 over Al-Ettifaq was quite helpful because they were able to save the full 3 points in the match.
Hopefully Al Nassr will win the match against Ittihad FC and they will be more enthusiastic in their hunt for the title this season.
--

Al Nassr sealed a solid 3-1 win against Al Ettifaq. However, they are still 10 points behind the league leaders, Al Hilal.
Although Al Nassr is currently in good form, their slow start earlier in the season has put them at a disadvantage. Al Hilal is dominating the league, and catching up won't be easy for Al Nassr. Despite their current good form, the competition is far from over.

Well, even though Al Nassr won, Al Hilal as the top of the standings is still quite far, there must be series of consecutive wins and also defeats experienced by Al Hilal if Al Nassr wants to occupy first place.
The competition becomes less interesting when the difference between the two is quite large because the competition can really feel sensational when the difference is only very small, but it does not rule out the possibility that after the middle of the season Al Nassr will be able to get full points in every match.
Both teams have shown that this season they are the only ones capable of dominating the League and becoming the strongest candidates in the race for the title.

But on the other hand, you are absolutely right that Al Nassr delay at the start of the season was very detrimental to them because they had to accept that the points gap with Al Hilal had also been happening since the start of the season.
If Al Nassr had won more since the start of the season, perhaps the difference between the two would not have been so far and of course we could see that Al Nssr could really keep up with Al Hilal.

This week Al Nassr has scheduled match against Ittihad FC and it is home match for Ittihad FC and we will see how Al Nassr will play by winning there, but this will not be an easy match for Al Nssr.

Apart from the battle at the top of the standings, we cannot ignore the battle at the bottom of the standings yeah 3 teams will fight to stay away from relegation and the teams in positions 10 to 15 are really not safe because the points are close to each other only 3 points away.  Apart from that, teams like Al-Damac are still of concern to us because they have succeeded in continuing the positive trend, Al-Damac managed to record 5 consecutive wins and can still continue this record. Unfortunately they don't have any targets because it is impossible to reach the top 2 to get a ticket to the Asian Champions League.

I was a little impressed with this team which was initially ignored many people, I even thought that Damac was just a small, weak team, but since I saw its performance in every match, it was able to hold a draw against teams from the top flight and at that time I started to think that Damac was really a small team why is there always improvement in every match and finally this team has proven that Damac deserves to be in the top 10 standings with 5 consecutive wins and my mistake was too quick to speculate if Damac was just a small team because I haven't liked SPL football for too long so I dont follow developments all the teams in the SPL and now I know more about Damac actual performance.

this increase in Damac can give a happy impression to the fans of this team but it puts pressure on Al Taawon who is only 4 points behind and in the next match if Al Taawon cannot add points I am sure this could result in a shift in Damac position who will take over Al Taawon position. but maybe it won't happen in a short time because we have to consider in the next match whether Damac is also able to appear more consistent.

[Uruhara]

Al-ittihad is now starting to fall in the standings. In fact, Damac is now in 5th place, which is one rank above Al-ittihad. There was a reason for Al-ittihad's defeat in this match, namely because they had to play with 10 players from the 12th minute. Al-ittihad, who were 1 goal behind, even managed to equalize the score at 1-1 in the first half. But I felt that in the second half Al-ittihad actually got worse. Even though I hope Al-ittihad can survive better. But apparently they failed to even defend well.

The next match against Al-Nassr will certainly be a more difficult match. Although I'm not sure that Al-Ittihad will lose to Al-Nassr. But I'm pretty sure the performance of the two is a little different this time. Al-Nassr have been much more consistent this season. And betting on Al-Nassr also seems pretty convincing. But I think Al-ittihad usually gets better when they face strong teams. So this match will probably remain difficult to predict.

Indeed, it is a very difficult test when you have to play with 10 people and although there is a chance of being able to reverse the victory, it is also very small. The superior number of players will always be a powerful weapon to win the match and even for a weak team like Al-Raed this can be put to good use to gain 3 points.

Betting on the victory of one of these teams is quite risky and if you want to be safe the right betting option is BTTS (Yes) or a result of over 2.5 goals because there will definitely be more than 3 goals scored and I think Al-Ittihad has a much worse defense than Al-Nassr.

Losing the number of players on the field will destroy everything. For example, a strategy that has been carefully created by a coach will immediately become useless. Because the coach will suddenly change strategy and formation in the second half. That is what also happened to Al-ittihad. So they had to accept defeat and lose points because they lost to a team that was actually much weaker than them.

The Al-Nassr vs Al-ittihad match will definitely be quite fierce. And I also think that there will be a lot of goals in that match. Because Al-Nassr actually has weaknesses at the back. And so does Al-ittihad. So that both teams will definitely score goals alternately. Because both of them will definitely implement an attack strategy.

[slapper]

Marcelo Gallardo as new manager still unable to bringing Al Ittihad to performing well because from 4 latest matches in Saudi Pro League Al Ittihad only get 1 win and yesterday Al Ittihad have to suffering another loses from Al Raed and the red card indeed has been ruin their performance because since that incident Al Ittihad looks to lost their rhythm and this is their 5th loss of the season and they have  21 difference points below to Al Hilal the team who in the first place and i think they have to give up to defend their title because it's near to impossible to cut their points gap with Al Hilal

To be honest, I'm not sure what Al Ittihad is doing now. I was very optimistic when Gallardo was brought in. Their team has a lot of great players, so it's strange to see them having this much trouble. The problem seemed more mental than physical. Like, you know what you're doing, but where's your confidence?

The fact that Al Hilal is setting a high bar in the SPL doesn't help either. They play like they're in a different league, which must be annoying for teams like Al Ittihad. Now that Al Nassr is coming up, things don't look any better. Ronaldo is playing extremely well for Al Nassr. Of course, everyone would want that much force. In all honesty, though, this season could be the end for Al Ittihad. Their plan for the next season might need to be rethought as they get back together and refocus.

Implementing and securing a strategic formulation is good but not all these coaches are able to achieve this target. Implementing an attack doesn't seem easy at all, alot of things becomes involved and the main target of the attacking is to secure winning. An attacking strategy can be enforced when there's presence of high spirit performance from players and not some random relenting players who can't afford to dominate or use chances. Strategy is the key basis and solid confidence that every coach stands upon to decides for their perspective clubs.

[lixer]

I would maybe not compare Al Ittihad with Ajax Amsterdam as Ajax Amsterdam had a horrible experience at the beginning of the season whereas they could stabilize at some point. But Al Ittihad never really came into shape. They have some fundamental struggles to cope with. A new manager might be able to solve some of the problems. But for this season I think it's pretty much over as Al Hilal is teaching the rest of the league how to bring the game to perfection for SPL standards.

I have to agree with you about this because Ajax just come out of the bottom with having some horrible time and now things are coming back to normal but Al Ittihad is having much better they were at the top but now suddenly having decline in performance which bring them to this level and now new coach which is trying to make things better need some time for having better results, but their match on 26th December is surely going to be not easy for them.

Currently, their defense is really in bad shape with they already concede 11 goals in last five games, so they need to work on this because Al Nassr surely tries to destroy them with their aggressive attack, and they have to face more troubling time.

[klidex]

I know Al Nassr is a strong team and beating Al Nassr is not something easy to do for any team but in the game between Al Ettifaq and Al Nassr, Al Ettifaq lost the game with a 3-1 result and they continued their weak performance in the Saudi league.
Steven Gerrard was a well-known player but it seems he is not a good coach and he is even close to getting fired from his team because of the result he got.
The last win for Steven Gerrard and his players in the Saudi league was in the 11th week.

A poor result if their last win in week 11. Not a good sign for Gerrard.

It can be said that the Al Ettifaq squad has more great Al Nassr players than Gerrard's team so the ability of this team cannot exceed Al Nassr in this match maybe we can guess who will win because we know more talented players in Al Nassr.

I'm just curious for the next match between Ittihad vs Al Nassr so far Ittihad appears still less consistent than last season's champions, but in this match we can guess who will win and then dare to bet it.

It's clear that Al Nassr is superior in terms of squad so it won't be easy for other clubs to beat Al Nassr, after all Al Nassr has European star player Cristiano Ronaldo so it feels like it will be difficult for a club like Ettifaq to beat him, and it's proven that Ettifaq can't do much and Ettifaq conceded 3 goals from the home team so it is only natural that they suffered a defeat because Ettifaq's condition in the last 5 matches did not look very impressive and there was no victory there.

The match between Ittihad FC vs Al Nassr is quite an interesting match seeing that Al Nassr will play with the Saudi pro league champions last season, but even so, Al Nassr condition is much better when compared to Ittihad so I am quite sure that Al Nassr will win again. in this match and Al Nassr achieved consecutive wins to continue to be in 2nd place approaching Al Hilal.

Losing the number of players on the field will destroy everything. For example, a strategy that has been carefully created by a coach will immediately become useless. Because the coach will suddenly change strategy and formation in the second half. That is what also happened to Al-ittihad. So they had to accept defeat and lose points because they lost to a team that was actually much weaker than them.

The Al-Nassr vs Al-ittihad match will definitely be quite fierce. And I also think that there will be a lot of goals in that match. Because Al-Nassr actually has weaknesses at the back. And so does Al-ittihad. So that both teams will definitely score goals alternately. Because both of them will definitely implement an attack strategy.

Any team that gets a red card will definitely be the team at a disadvantage without a doubt. Only a few teams can remain undefeated after one of their players gets a red card. And usually the team that gets a red card, they won't even have a chance to win. They will only have the chance to get a draw. Because it is very difficult for a team to continue playing well with only 10 players. Al-ittihad is also like that. They were completely in disarray after the red card. That is why every team must avoid red cards as much as possible and not be provoked by opponents who will definitely deliberately make a team more emotional. And usually it is those who are provoked who are more often caught up with fouls and red cards.

Well, the Al-Nassr va Al-ittihad match will certainly be quite fierce. But I will favorite Al-Nassr without hesitation. Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo will really reminisce about this match. Because they were once colleagues in the same club and now they are facing each other as opponents. Well this is very interesting and I think we should not miss this match.
