Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[dezoel]

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.

Comparing leagues and talking about players currently is not right time because in this season we have huge investments from few clubs with just one company is owned four clubs which are showing how things are working here with their vision is impressive, and their start is also good if they are going to do things for the long run then surely in coming years we will have good results and improved performance from many clubs with owners and other stakeholders will also enjoy this all but right now it's all under government which is trying to bring changes into their culture and other things related to open doors for the world.

Now most chances we will have too many players will join in coming days and this will create good competition and also quality as well we have few different ratings which are showing they are on good run for the having better spot, and they will be achieved something big in coming years.

[Strongkored]

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.

Ittihad FC is a very different team this season, at least that can be seen in the several matches they have played and also their ranking in the standings shows that they are quite weak this season so any team has a chance of beating them, especially Al Nassr who are still struggling to close the gap. the point is with Al Hilal.
Benzema did not perform as expected, maybe this will be his first and last season at Ittihad because he and the club are not satisfied with what he got, while Ronaldo has always been able to be relied on by his team so far, but it is not impossible that Ittihad will give a surprise in the match. This.
The betting market favors Al Nassr even though they as the away team, are quite different from last season's conditions, and this difference is because Ittihad is one of the teams that has experienced a decline and is certain to fail to defend the title.

Ittihad will play at home, maybe they will be slightly favored. but seeing that their performance has not been stable recently, making predictions might be slightly in favor of Al Nassr who appears more consistent at the moment.
However, this is a big match, Ittihad, which managed to win the trophy last season, of course, doesn't want it to end badly this season. and Al Nassr, who are already several points behind Al Hilal, certainly don't want to lose the opportunity to catch up.
both teams will have strong ambitions to win. but Al Hilal has not been defeated so far. That is a truly extraordinary achievement.

So true. Last season, perhaps when we bet on the Al-ittihad vs Al-Nassr match, we would have doubted Al-Nassr a little. Because last season Al-ittihad always played with full confidence. And they are always the favorites. It's just that this season everything has changed. So when Al-ittihad became the hosts, it seemed like many people were hesitant to choose them as favourites. Personally, as I said from the start, I will favor Al-Nassr. Because as you said, the performance of Benzema and several European players at Al-ittihad cannot be expected too much. Well, we feel more disappointment nowadays when betting on Al-ittihad. But indeed, as the host, Al-ittihad could suddenly rise and beat Al-Nassr. I didn't expect that. Because I might bet on Al-Nassr.

The best part about this is that the most expensive soccer players on the planet are not playing for teams that ultimately win the Saudi Professional League title. These guys earn around 750 million euros combined in a bit more than 2 years. And yet they don't win the title with their teams. I don't know what to think about that, but the two players can be happy to have signed those contracts from a financial perspective. Whether they have the reputation that they would do everything for money? I think so, too. It is good to see that there are players who resist the money. Messi is one of them and some others did as well. But Benzema and Ronaldo are the way they are.

Al Nassr has roared in a new way this season. Al Nassr has many good and experienced players who are always ready to score goals. Especially Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadiomane are two very experienced and dynamic players whose running speed is still intense. But I have won several times by betting for the Al Nassr team.  In this case, Al Ittihad is a strong team, but if you compare the two teams, Al Nassr will be much stronger.

[TelolettOm]

Now we are almost heading for the end of the 18th rounds on 26th December with the match between Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr and with the current stats and numbers Al Hilal is strong candidate for the win of this year's title they are currently having 50 points from the 18 matches and if Al Nassr beats Al Ittihad on Tuesday then we will have difference of 7 points which is still enough as we have current performance of the Al Hilal because they are impressive in attack and defense as well with no defeat in 18 matches is amazing.
Neymar is already out of the league with his injury and most chances he will not return to Saudi Arab and Al Hilal is already having good attack, but they will try to have some good signing in January window as well which will help them for having better performance of their team in coming weeks as well.

In the match Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr, it is a must for Al Nassr to win the match. If Al Nassr fails to get full points, they probably become harder to compete for the title. At least, Al Nassr must shorten the point gap to be 7 points again. In the second half of the season, Al Nassr may have the chance to shorten the point gap again. I hope the point gap will be under 5 points, so the race for the title will be more interesting until the end of the season.

Neymar didn't contribute anything for Al Hilal. So, it won't be a serious problem if Neymar can't join Al Hilal in this season. Al Hilal already has a solid team, they have enough players to win the competition for the title. They proved that their current players are playing with their best form. They only need to maintain the good performance.

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.

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.

Yes, I also didn't expect last season's champion Ittihad to lose to Al-Raed with a score of 1-3. Al-Raed in the previous match, which was defeated by Damac, certainly did not reduce Al-Raed's performance and mentality. and I think Marcelo Gallardo must make the Ittihad players confident again and must be able to produce like last season. Yes, now Damac is ranked higher than Ittihad.

the goal created by al-raed player K. El Berkaoui in the 22nd minute was very beautiful, his header was very accurate and I also liked the reply from ittihad player Romarinho in the 25th minute at that time I thought it would make the ittihad players excited and continue to score goals but apparently not.

In my opinion, Ittihad's next match against Al-Nassr will certainly be easy to predict, although of course we won't know what the result will be. Yes, Benzema will meet Cristiano Ronaldo, of course that is what the viewers and everyone are really waiting for.

Losing the number of players is certainly very influential, especially in the early minutes, as M. Alolayan did and as a result of his actions he had to receive a red card.

It is true that the reduction in players has a big impact on the coach's formation and plans. Of course we won't know what game Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema are playing, but what is clear is that I want to bet on Al-Nassr winning.

[rendravolt]

Al-Wehda's victory means they are now in 8th position in the standings and succeeded in shifting Al-Ettifaq's position. I think Al-Wehda is indeed capable of doing it because their opponent is Al-Riyadh who are currently at the bottom of the relegation table. Al-Wehda did not hesitate to win with a score of 3-1 in this match and at the same time Al-Riyadh's hopes of getting out of the relegation zone had to be temporarily postponed.

Apart from that, Al-Wehda is now increasingly threatening Al-Ittihad's position and if Al-Wehda wins again in the next match then the points tally for both will be the same as 28 points. But that is if Al-Ittihad loses against Al-Nassr and I think we all know that Al-Ittihad is not promising this season and this possibility will be very profitable for Al-Wehda.

[SmartCharpa]

Now we are almost heading for the end of the 18th rounds on 26th December with the match between Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr and with the current stats and numbers Al Hilal is strong candidate for the win of this year's title they are currently having 50 points from the 18 matches and if Al Nassr beats Al Ittihad on Tuesday then we will have difference of 7 points which is still enough as we have current performance of the Al Hilal because they are impressive in attack and defense as well with no defeat in 18 matches is amazing.
Neymar is already out of the league with his injury and most chances he will not return to Saudi Arab and Al Hilal is already having good attack, but they will try to have some good signing in January window as well which will help them for having better performance of their team in coming weeks as well.

In the match between Al Ittihad and Al Nassr, I believe Al Nassr will give it everything they've got to win because they need three points to close the gap to seven points between them and Al Hilal. Even without Neymar, Al Hilal is still performing well, winning their games and sitting atop the league with fifty points, so I don't think Al Nassr will win the league this season with this point differences. Al Nassr has already lost more points than Al Hilal, the last time they meet they got defeated by Al Hilal. I don't think Al Nassr can compete Al Hilal for the top spot even with a 10 points difference, Al Hilal has better players than Al Nassr, and they plan to add more in January.

Cristiano Ronaldo is doing everything in his power to help the team win the Saudi Pro Trophy this season, but I don't think they will be able to do so because Al Hilal has made things difficult for them. However, if they continue to win their next games, anything can happen to help them win the league.

[ajanwalker]

AlWehda is in a slightly better position and in better form than the Riyadh team. With this defeat, Riyadh started to feel the relegation from the league. Wehda scored the first goal in the 36th minute and the first half ended 1-0 with this score. The last minutes of the second half were exciting. There were another confusing goals, especially in the last 10 minutes, and the match ended with Wehda's victory, 3-1. With the power of money, Arabs transfer quality football players from other countries and also let teams from other countries play the cup finals in their country. The Turkish Super Cup will be played in Riyadh on December 29. Let's see how Arabs will be interested in the match. In Turkey, the competition between the two teams is high and the tension is very high. We will see together how it will be here.

But that is if Al-Ittihad loses against Al-Nassr and I think we all know that Al-Ittihad is not promising this season and this possibility will be very profitable for Al-Wehda.

Ittihad FC's last 5 matches have been quite good, although there were 2 previous defeats. However, this time the opponent is quite strong, Al Nassr who is in 2nd place in the standings.
If Al Nassr can win, this will be a bit profitable because it can reduce the point difference with the top of the standings, namely Al Hilal. Which makes the opportunity to win the league even more exciting.
But I believe Al Nassr will not be able to win easily, because Ittihad FC should also want to win to enter the top 5 of the League.

Al Hilal already has a solid team, they have enough players to win the competition for the title. They proved that their current players are playing with their best form. They only need to maintain the good performance.

Yeah anyone who follows the Saudi Pro League will think the same thing there is no time for Al-Nassr to waste opportunities I mean Al-Nassr must be able to ensure that every match is 3 points only in this way Al-Nassr can be sure to be on the right track. Apart from that Al-Ittihad is not in good condition after 2 consecutive defeats it will have an impact on their confidence even though it is played at home will not be able to increase their confidence well, of course this is another advantage for Al-Nassr they only need to apply the right strategy and triggered Ronaldo's ambition to be the top score of this season. I see in the last 3 matches Al-Nassr always win with 3 goals or more and Ronaldo always scored at least 1 goal.

Stake.com has displayed a betting market for this match, as we can see on the screenshot below with confidence Sportsbook favored Al-Nassr to win offering odds 1.62 if we bet on Al-Nassr side, not bad right? The same thing on total goals over 2.5 goals odds 1.58 and both teams to score 1.52 if you find the Bet Builder feature, the total odds for these 3 options are 3.7 - 3.9 unfortunately this option is not available on stake.com By the way, I checked on several sportsbooks and stake.com offers higher odds for 1x2 market 1.62 vs 1.52.

Al Wehda managed to make their guests go home empty-handed and this result was positive for them because they could win the match again after the previous week they had to lose. This is a good result for Al Wehda, but it is a very bitter result for Al Riyadh as they have had another negative result in their last 4 mtches and must be in the relegation zone position now.
The competition at the bottom of the table is also increasingly interesting to watch, because those who are in that position now have a distance that is not too far away and it can change in just one match or two matches. They must fight in the midst of intense competition to keep their position in order to remain in the highest competition in Arabia.

Stake.com is too brave to give odds of 4.60 for Al Ittihad because Al Ittihad is not too weak even though they have often lost in the last few matches in the Saudi Pro League, AFC Champions League and FIFA Club World Cup.
Al Ittihad is not favored if I look at the odds given by the stake in the image you shared.

Since Al Nassr lost to Al Hilal, they have never lost, but in my opinion, the match between Al Ittihad and Al Nassr is not at the Al Ittihad stadium. For me, that's one of the advantages to consider even though they often lose.

It means very good odds for anyone who picked ittihad for their bet but the main problem if ittihad is now very different compared to the ittihad during the early season. Ittihad has been facing another setback, there were also many internal problems owned by this club.
The bookies were also considering numerous factor before they are trying to give that big odds for ittihad. To be honest, that odds is very worthy to bet on ittihad and it's really worth with the risk. Al nassr is far above al ittihad at this time but i kinda feel nassr is going to struggle against it.
Al nassr's odds is very bad for me to see that. I would like to see more but since nassr is consistently winning any game in the SPL and this is the main reason stake put that odds for nassr.

Since Al Nassr lost to Al Hilal, they have never lost, but in my opinion, the match between Al Ittihad and Al Nassr is not at the Al Ittihad stadium. For me, that's one of the advantages to consider even though they often lose.

Al hilal was just in another level compared to the al nassr. Im feeling good to see nassr lost against hilal caused by hilal has proven that if it's in the higher level compared with al nassr.
This is another advantage from al nassr to make ittihad goes even deeper to the bottom classement. It's quite hard to predict the outcome from this match but i expect ittihad to play defensively against al nassr.
It's caused by al nssr is always playing offensively against its opponent no matter what club it is.

As one of the promoted teams this season, Al-Riyadh has to be sad because they are not quite ready to be in a more competitive competition with strong teams in the SPL and they have to be willing to languish longer in the temporary relegation zone. The results of these 4 defeats also really hit them because they lost 12 points from that match.

Together with Al-Riyadh, Abha and Al-Hazem each within 2 points and this is indeed a fierce competition for teams in the relegation zone to see who is free first and will also determine their chances of staying in the Saudi league next season. The distance between several teams above the relegation zone is also not large enough so that anyone who is currently above Al-Riyadh will certainly not be distracted considering that they could be the team that enters the next relegation zone.

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.

Yes it is as if you were to draw a line or a graph reflecting the performance. For Ajax it was rock bottom and then climbing up, which I think is a good sign although they now got spectacularly kicked out of the national cup. But there is still a positive trend with reference to the beginning of the season.

Al Ittihad is just a level worse than they used to be. There isn't really an up and down or very far down and then up, as you described, if anything they went from up to down and now they are staying there going sidewards.

Apart from that Al-Ittihad is not in good condition after 2 consecutive defeats it will have an impact on their confidence even though it is played at home will not be able to increase their confidence well, of course this is another advantage for Al-Nassr they only need to apply the right strategy and triggered Ronaldo's ambition to be the top score of this season. I see in the last 3 matches Al-Nassr always win with 3 goals or more and Ronaldo always scored at least 1 goal.

Stake.com has displayed a betting market for this match, as we can see on the screenshot below with confidence Sportsbook favored Al-Nassr to win offering odds 1.62 if we bet on Al-Nassr side, not bad right? The same thing on total goals over 2.5 goals odds 1.58 and both teams to score 1.52 if you find the Bet Builder feature, the total odds for these 3 options are 3.7 - 3.9 unfortunately this option is not available on stake.com By the way, I checked on several sportsbooks and stake.com offers higher odds for 1x2 market 1.62 vs 1.52.

Al Nassr have been good, Ronaldo's presence has extra impact on the team too and they're seemingly hungry for the SPL trophy. Even though I currently, they've dropped on the table by 10points, it isn't a good news though but seriously I doubt that they're relenting. I strongly believe they'll fight to close the gap between them and the league leaders.
 
 Their errors and relaxation must have been the reason for the reduction in the standings and now it's just clear that they've got extra work to do. They wouldn't want to trade their trophy chance for a time of flopping and careless about game results. They're still the best team in the league even though competitions are rising and are spreading their tentacles wide to all aspects of the league. They've still got enough weeks to meet up with their season goal, they can still lift the trophy if extra effort is out into their work.

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.

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.

A team losing a player changes the game, right? I've always thought field discipline was as important as strategy. Al-ittihad's loss shows how a red card may derail even the greatest plans. Coaches must be skilled to adjust tactics with a player down. I remember witnessing 10 player teams struggle to keep the line, often drawing. Expect fireworks in the Al-Nassr vs. Al-ittihad showdown. The defensive weaknesses of both clubs should make for an interesting, goal-heavy affair. Not only strategies, but also players' ability to exploit flaws. Im curious to see how the strategies will evolve with Benzema and Ronaldo on the field. Their teamwork becoming a rivalry is something I wouldnt miss.
