Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Webetcoins]

Until entering the 81st minute Kadesh brought back the advantage for Al-Ittihad, but their careless defense made Salemani managed to equalize six minutes later. The draw obtained by Al-Ittihad made them ranked fifth in the standings of five points adrift with Al-Hilal at the top of the standings.

If Al-Hilal won vs Al-Ahli today, they will start to get good advantage from the other teams. About 4-5 points depending from Al-Nassr result vs Al-Feiha tomorrow.
Al-Ittihad continue to miss points for the fourth match in row, totalling minus 9 points... That would make them first in the ranking.
Al-Taawoun missed also 2 points yesterday, so minus 4 points in the previous two matches.
Saudi teams are missing many points and if things could be more crazy then Al-Ahli have to take down Al-Hilal.

Al Hilal won convincingly, and now they are at the top with good difference of points as well now if Al Nassr won against Al Feiha then we have them first time at second spot in this season, but difference could be four points which is surely not easy to erase because Al Hilal is playing impressively and have eyes on title Al Ahli is suffering badly with this was their third defeat.

And now they are at the fifth spot and defending champions Al Ittihad is also going down which is surely big problem for them because they were at the top but now after losing 9 points things are completely different they are at sixth spot and their chances for top spots are going end because with this performance and confidence they could be faced more troubles in the future.

I think Al Hilal played much better than Al Ahli because they were already leading 2-0 and the score could have been even higher if Melinkovic-Savic could have forgotten the penalty, but he instead Marez and Saint-Maximen were able to get one goal back, but a gross error by Roger Ibanez and Mendy wiped out Al Ahli's efforts. Although by the composition of the teams with Malcom, Saint-Maximen, Marez, Melinkovic-Savic, Mehdi you would have thought you were watching an English Premier League match.

Al Hilal is very known as the strongest team in Saudi Pro League, so they must be get pressure to win the league. While Al Ahli's players are more relax and the European players are only play for fun, they're not playing as good as they were.

Slowly we can guess which team will be the champion of the Saudi Pro League this season

Yeah you're correct, the champion will be Al Nassr.

[Jody.Drummer]

This week is a very important week for Al Nassr, they will travel to Al Feiha headquarters and if they can win then they will be perched in second place in the SPL standings shifting Al Fateh and AL Taawon. Al Feiha is not a very strong club, but they also cannot be said to be a bad club.
Al Nassr will go down with their best composition and will target 3 points in this match. Their attackers are also in a very good state and are very productive in scoring goals. But they should not underestimate their opponent, because it could be the same thing as when they faced ABha repeated in this match.

btw, Al Hilal performed well without Neymar and this is the pure strength of Al Hilal that without european star players this team is able to lead the SPL with very good points and for Al Nassr it is increasingly difficult to catch up with Al Hilal position at the top of this standings while competing fighting Al Feiha is not an easy task on the one hand Al Feiha has a very good defense even though Al Nassr still relies on Ronaldo and Mane but still Al Feiha knows that if they play against Al Nassr they have to use a defensive formation even though they can not score against Al Nassr, Al Feiha will try to end the match in a draw.
even so, Ronaldo, as a player who is highly valued at Al Nassr, will prove to the owner of this team that he can make a good enough contribution to try to catch up with the points left behind by Al Hilal and hopefully the match against Al Feiha can be a slightly easier match.

Al-Nassr cannot underestimate Al-Feiha. Because if Al-Nassr underestimates Al-Feiha then I'm afraid Al-Nassr won't be able to get full points like when they fought Abha. But with the opportunity to move up to 2nd place, Al-Nassr definitely doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get full points in this match and occupy 2nd place in the standings.

And Al-Nassr cannot afford to lose in this match because Al-Hilal, who are currently at the top of the standings, have also managed to get full points again when they beat Al-Ahli in the previous match. Al-Nassr must not let the point difference slip away from Al-Hilal. Because if Al-Hilal continues to get full points then it will be very difficult for Al-Nassr to get close again.

Saudi teams are missing many points and if things could be more crazy then Al-Ahli have to take down Al-Hilal.

In fact, Al-ittihad's ranking is now dropping and currently Al-ittihad is ranked 6th. Because Al-Fateh looks like it will succeed in collecting 3 points in the match against Al-Raed which will soon end. Benzema Cs seems a little unlucky in recent weeks. The competition has become more difficult this season for them. Because Al-ettifaq also has the potential to get close to Al-ittihad's points tally if Al-ettifaq wins tomorrow's match against Al-wehda. This season it turns out that it is not only the clubs owned by PIF that are showing good performance after getting many top European players. But the other teams also showed quality that was no less great even though they didn't have many top European players. Everything has become more competitive and yes, this makes the Saudi Pro League less boring to follow.

Sometimes even if you spend a huge amount of money, still you can't get the results you want to get because of some expected things. For example, Al Ittihad spent lots of money during the summer and they bought many expensive and top European players for this team. Benzema joined this team but he is one of the best players in the world but Al Ittihad was not lucky enough because Benzema was mostly injured during the time when he joined Alittihad and he could help the team as they were expecting from him.

Al-Hilal won the match against Al-Ahli Saudi 3-1. The team continues its dominance, and the best part is the goal coming in the very first minute of the match. Al-Ahli Saudi played really well, but they weren't able to level the goals. Saint-Maximin made a goal for Al-Ahli Saudi at the second half and an own goal from Ibañez left Al-Hilal take a big lead of 3-1. Though its a loss for Al-Ahli it stays on the fifth position. Another team at its best is the Al Fateh which had won 2-1 against Al-Raed and takes the second position on the points table. Really interesting as the positions keeps changing after every match.

The goal between the Al Hilal and Al Ahli was nearly two,So the Al Hilal had defend the game till the end and doesn’t allow the Al Ahli Saudi to score the balance two goals.The game of the Al Ahli was good,but the players of the Al Hilal was create the good defend game to prevent the two big goals today and create the easy win to the team Al Hilal.Al Ahli should improved their game to manage to keep their position in the first four which is most important for the semi finals.In the same day,the Al Fateh win the game against Al Raed was the expected one and reach the second position in the table.

Savic and mitrovic. These guys are world class players. Ahli has so many great players like mahrez or even mend but those guys are not enough in being equal to the al hilal. Al hilal has been starting the match with a goal in the first minute from savic.
This is why i have called him as underrated player as well as mitrovic. I think that al hilal has made a mistake by recruiting neymar. The club shall not have spent lots of money for unimportant player like him which was injury prone.
I think that al hilal could reallocate it into the something useful like bringing someone who have same quality like savic and mitrovic. These guys were destroying ahli.

Trues, sometime money can bring good achievement during with Al Ittihad spent much money for signing Karim Benzema, Ngolo Kante and many top European teams but they can't make Al Ittihad consistent on the top position standings. I think Al Ittihad top European players such as Benzema and Kante need time for adapting well for making Al Ittihad back to the top standings position in domestic league.

Left many matches and half season still not over yet, Al Ittihad have enough time return to top standings place exactly with second window transfer will opening after second half season begin and with much money they have easy who will be next top European player signing to make Al Ittihad more compete for tittle race.

[Nheer]

Slowly we can guess which team will be the champion of the Saudi Pro League this season, not only because of the 5 point advantage they currently have but also the factor in which they appear quite consistent when facing a fairly strong team like Al Ahli. Winning with a convincing score in a big match will make Al Hilal even more confident when facing other strong teams, at least they have already defeated two strong teams.

Al Hilal have actually proven how far they can go in the league this season, they have been excellent and their performance seems to improve as weeks goes by, they dominated the match against Al Ahli team that showed lack of maturity amongst themselves they didn’t play together as everyone wanted to display their individual talents. Mahrez disappointed me the most, he lost too many possessions casually and it affected the team badly. The match was interesting but Al Hilal showed us why they are top of the table they were as clinical as always even though they missed a couple of chances.

Al Ittihad headcoach, Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo ready to display good tactics for his team. They're in the competitive race for SPL trophy this season, all they're keen on achieving at the present moment is consistency in league games. Spending hugh sums on Karim Benzema but there's absolutely no positive results from the Frenchman. However there's time for Benzema to develop and he will stand in good position to elevate his balance form in his new team, supporters are forever ready to watch the pending outstanding form of Benzema.

Al Ittihad has spent a lot of money including several other Arab clubs, this is not about European players but the reality is that the professional Saudi League is now increasingly fierce competition not only recruiting European players but must be precise on which players can adapt faster, I think this is still not sure Al Ittihad will continue to decline they still have a lot of leagues left and they are still chasing to continue to return to the top position.

After the second transfer window obviously it will be interesting, the article already has several Arab clubs eyeing European players maybe more will come to this league, but I don't know about Al Ittihad whether this club will return to recruit other top European players?
This league has now evolved from season to season will still always change to a tighter rotation.

Al Hilal is very known as the strongest team in Saudi Pro League, so they must be get pressure to win the league. While Al Ahli's players are more relax and the European players are only play for fun, they're not playing as good as they were.

I wouldn't say that European players play so relaxed. There is no such competition for the ball or struggle as in the English Premier League or La Liga, but European players still play very well, their level is much higher than local players and it is obvious that young people look at them as role models and try to learn from them all the best that there is.
Also European players gather full stadiums, you can see almost every game of Al Hilal or Al Nassr that the stadium is full and people enjoy the game, in addition to the Saudi league came relatively young players and they are not just "finish", and they are trying to fully work off the money invested in them and actively score and make the games very spectacular.

What I think is really not up to their level is the refereeing, which is clearly lagging behind the progress of the league.

This week is a very important week for Al Nassr, they will travel to Al Feiha headquarters and if they can win then they will be perched in second place in the SPL standings shifting Al Fateh and AL Taawon. Al Feiha is not a very strong club, but they also cannot be said to be a bad club.
Al Nassr will go down with their best composition and will target 3 points in this match. Their attackers are also in a very good state and are very productive in scoring goals. But they should not underestimate their opponent, because it could be the same thing as when they faced ABha repeated in this match.

Al nassr needs to play carefully against feiha. I do understand that if feiha is not a strong club but al nassr shall also win against it. The draw against al feiha will be unacceptable for the club coz al nassr needs also to secure full points. Al hilal was able against ahli and it will be a disaster if al nassr keeps loose full points against its opponent. This is the main reason al nassr needs to be careful to face feiha. The club needs to consistently pressuring feiha.

I hope that ronaldo will be starting to play against feiha since the first half. Losing even two points will make al nassr's position will be far away from al hilal.
It's caused by al hilel is now leading the competition. Winning the game is a must for al nassr or it will be out from the title race against al hilal as the strongest team in the league right now.

But they should not underestimate their opponent, because it could be the same thing as when they faced ABha repeated in this match.

Al-Nassr cannot underestimate Al-Feiha. Because if Al-Nassr underestimates Al-Feiha then I'm afraid Al-Nassr won't be able to get full points like when they fought Abha. But with the opportunity to move up to 2nd place, Al-Nassr definitely doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get full points in this match and occupy 2nd place in the standings.

And Al-Nassr cannot afford to lose in this match because Al-Hilal, who are currently at the top of the standings, have also managed to get full points again when they beat Al-Ahli in the previous match. Al-Nassr must not let the point difference slip away from Al-Hilal. Because if Al-Hilal continues to get full points then it will be very difficult for Al-Nassr to get close again.

The Saudi League has really improved in quality and I don't think there's any team that should be underrated at this moment and I think Al Nassr also knows that. Al Nassr who will visit Al Fayha in their league game today and with Cristiano Ronaldo who's the Saudi Pro League top scorer in the squad for that match, I think Al Nassr are gonna take all three points from that very game. With the point difference between league leaders Al Hilal and Al Nassr, the visitors knows they can't afford to drop further points if they want to remain in contention for who wins the league title this season.

This league has now evolved from season to season will still always change to a tighter rotation.

Al-ittihad are not in their best performance currently and I'm pretty sure that they'll definitely take advantage of the winter windows to strengthen their squad more, no doubt that they've spent alot of money this summer but with the way they're performing it's obvious that it's not enough to carry them althrough the competitions they're participating in so they'll definitely need new recruitments to help strengthen their squad if they really want to defend their title.

 Well they don't have any choice but to sign new  recruitments that would help strengthen their squad, they're gradually dropping points and giving other teams am opportunity to get above them, with what I understand, finance is not a big deal for most Saudi clubs and we might see new European players come into the league during the January transfer.

[tusandii]

The competition for the top 3 in the Saudi Pro League points table has become more competitive seeing as the competition between Al Hilal, Al Taawon and Al Nasr both want to maintain or even want to take over the position of the club above them, but yesterday's Al Taawon match may have left fans feeling disappointed because it only ended in a draw while the opportunity to win is actually very big, Al Taawon players cannot take advantage of this opportunity.
Meanwhile, Ittihad performance has also decreased slightly in these few matches, so it is very easy for Al Nasr to continue to provide a slightly greater distance in points, even though the difference is only 1 point.

To be honest, I don't have much information regarding the team that is ranked 2nd in the Saudi Pro League standings. Yep, Al Taawoun is now in second place, only a two point difference from Al Hilal. However, if I try to look at the profile of this team. During the transfer window yesterday, they brought in at least 5-6 foreign players to deepen their squad ahead of the 2023/2024 season. and yep, the foreign players they brought to their headquarters had an impact on their performance in their 11 matches in this competition. Unfortunately, in the last two matches, Al Taawoun was only able to achieve a draw.
BTW, I remain optimistic that, in the end, the teams acquired by FIP will enter the top four of the Saudi Pro League. As for Al Taawoun, they are gradually experiencing a decline. or, collapsed when they met Al Hilal or Al Nassr in the second meeting. where Al Nassr fell when they hosted Al Taawoun in the first meeting.

As for Al Nassr, they will play tomorrow's match against Al Fayha. If Ronaldo and his colleagues are able to win the match, they will automatically be able to eliminate Al Taawoun from the ranking they currently occupy.
In another match, Al Hilal is playing its match against Al-Ahli. The match had just started, and Al Hilal had taken the lead in the 4th minute by Sergej Savic. I am quite sure, Al Hilal will increase his number of goals in this match. So, let's follow it until the game is over.

It seems that Al Nasr needs hard work to catch up with Al Hilal's points if they really want to get the title in the Saudi Pro League, but unfortunately the difference between Al Nasr and Al Hilal is 7 points, which means Al Nasr has to win 3 times in each match to be able to catch up with Al. Hilal but how is it possible for Al Nasr to catch up with Al Hilal's points even though Ronaldo can score for his club's victory but every few matches the player's performance definitely declines and on the other hand if Al Nasr really wants to catch up with Al Hilal's points to get first place Al Nasr has to beat several clubs in the upcoming matches that will be a very tough task and I still believe Ronaldo will try hard for his club to try to become a leader in the Saudi pro league.

[MAAManda]

This will be quite a difficult match for Al-Nassr, if they can't use the opportunity well, it's possible that Al-Faiha will maximize their draw like their last match because they will be playing at home, of course they will try their best not to losess, this season Al-Feiha also received the most draws in the SPL.

I don't think that Al-Nassr will lose here, they have a real mission to catch up with the points they have left behind Al-Hilal who are currently in first place in the SPL standings. If they get a draw or lose, I don't know what to say to this team, they managed to beat Al-Duhail in the AFC, but they couldn't beat a team like Al-Feiha.

This match is very important for Al-Nassr to be able to get 3 points and shift Al Fateh's position in the top 3

They don't need 3 points to shift Al-Fateh's position, Al-Nassr only needs a draw, because they benefit from the goal difference.

[Ayers]

Unlike what we saw in Al Nassr when Ronaldo joined this team, I think Benzema was not a successful transfer for Al Ittihad and he was not performing well at all. In fact, he was mostly injured and even during the time when he was not injured, he needed some time to get in the good form. I think Al Ittihad with Abderrazak Hamdallah could have better performance if were investing in younger players instead of Karim Benzema.

Saudi Pro League is an entirely different league, there are many things these new European players ought to quickly get adopted to. It's totally new environment and not all players make good impression in their first appearance in their perspective new clubs. Karim Benzema is vulnerable to injuries. Al Ittihad signing him to do what actually? They should have been aware about the inconsistent form of the Frenchman in Santiago Bernabéu. He's available for today's game and unavailable when it's next game, that's how he plays and I'm already acquainted with his performance.

Since he was at Real Madrid, Benzema has suffered quite a lot of injuries which have made him often absent while defending Real Madrid. And now Benzema has also been injured quite often while with Al-Ittihad and I don't think that should surprise us. And Al-Ittihad is ready for all of that. The aim of PIF in providing large funds to the clubs they own is to attract the attention of the football world so that they pay more attention to Arab football. And also to improve the quality of matches in the Saudi Pro League. And yes, now we can see clearly that the quality of all Arab clubs has really changed this season. Everything becomes more competitive and becomes stronger.

Talking about injuries, I think Al-Nassr is very lucky to be able to bring in Cristiano Ronaldo. Because this player really knows how to avoid injury and really knows how to maintain stamina in the match. His skills are also better than the young players. So it is not surprising that some players call Cristiano Ronaldo a monster in football. Age doesn't seem to stop him.

Benzema was actually never the same level of prolific scorer as Cristiano Ronaldo. Of course, he was able to win the Ballon d'Or. But to be honest, some of the goals that he scored in that season were really lucky. But anyway, she has always been pretty inconsistent throughout his whole career, except for that one season. And it is not going to be very wise to ask a lot from him at this age. But I thought he would be able to perform well because he is in the Saudi league. But I think it is very evident that he is not performing as expected.

I think that compared to Ronaldo, most players would be in the shadow, so I would not say that Benzema had weak performances throughout his career. But I am surprised by the fact that many people came to Saudi Arabia, but so far only Ronaldo and a few other players are showing top results (today Talisca made a double and he is one of those who work seriously). Everyone says that scoring in weak leagues is easy, but for some reason we don’t see random players from Europe who score 20+ goals here. In fact, we see the same performance ratio as when playing in Europe.

[Bitcoin_people]

Al Fayah come up against Al Nassr where they have already conceded three goals and Al Nassr are fighting for victory.  As the game is almost over and there is some time left and Al Fayah will never be able to equalize the game in this interval.  With players like Sadio Mane and Ronaldo on the field, Al Nassr will surely win the match. And today's last minute betting avoidance, I am really surprised that there is such a big gap between the two teams. Late in the game came the bet avoidance, @351 Al Fayah and draw @51 and Al Nassr @1.00 It's really ridiculous.
