Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[armanda90]

Al-Hilal has moved 7 points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League. But it's still too early to make the final call. Just like Arsenal could have won the EPL last season.

Al-Nassr is in the second position, with a game in hand. They are on the rise, and who knows, they might just surprise us? Al-Nassr has to win their next game, by the way!

The league is gradually becoming more exciting.

Its good first half season start for Al Hilal moved up 7 points behind Al Nassr who second standings position awhile but still have one match left few hours later against Al Khaalej. I think depend on Al Nassr match result to know how exciting  Saudi Pro League competition behind 7 points gap with top standings its seems not really competitive.

Al Nassr looks will win their match tonight against Al Khaalej because team with two slip above from relegation zone, I think Cristiano Ronaldo has chance added his goals collection in Saudi Pro League and lead top scorer until playing 10 matches he scored 11 goals and Aleksandar Mitrovic have two goals remaining to raise Cristiano Ronaldo goals.

Al-Hilal has moved 7 points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League. But it's still too early to make the final call. Just like Arsenal could have won the EPL last season.

Winning 7 points does not mean that Al Hilal can be calm and safe in topping the standings because this is still early in the season and the journey is still very long, just as you said that it is too early to determine if Al Hilal will be the strongest in the SPL.

Al-Nassr is in the second position, with a game in hand. They are on the rise, and who knows, they might just surprise us? Al-Nassr has to win their next game, by the way!

In reaching second place Al Nassr have progressed quite well and they are now one of the unbeaten teams in the last few matches this is quite fierce competition for Al Hilal.
Even though we know that Al Hilal is in the best condition there is still the possibility that Al Nassr can replace Al Hilal in first place.

The league is gradually becoming more exciting.

This is because each team has made improvements to be able to develop more quickly, when there is schedule that brings together the two strongest teams then this becomes even more interesting.

Overall, Al Hilal's progress has not stopped in achieving victory, so far it is the only club that has not been defeated in the SPL. The 7 point gap with AL Nassr in second place will be reduced again if they can beat Al Khaleej tomorrow. Indeed, a small point gap cannot make Neymar club comfortable at the top of the standings, because we know there are still lots of matches ahead.

The competition for the top four in the standings is getting more interesting as the season enters week 12. I also did not expect Al Ittihad, Al Ahli and Al Ettifaq which are strengthened by several former European players, to be knocked out of the top four in the standings. Al Taawon and Al Fateh are able to compete with the favorite clubs to win, The increase in competitiveness of the League will continue, it is currently too early to say anything regarding which clubs will win trophies at the end of the season.

[Doell]

Al-Taawon Vs Damac Fc
It seems like Taawon can win and secure three points in tomorrow match, considering that the match will also held at the Taawon club stadium, and at home Taawon have never lost so far in 5 matches.
Meanwhile, Damac FC performance poorly when playing away, in 6 matches they lost 4 times. So I think on paper Taawon is much better and can probably win without difficulty.

The odds for Taawon are currently @1.60, seemed they are favorites in that match. While the odds for Damac win are @4.70, I don't think there is any doubt if bet on Taawon, although the odds are @1.60 but it's not too bad. How do you think guys about this match? If you have another bet option, feel free to give your opinion.

[shinratensei_]

Ittihad FC lost to Al Shabab by a very narrow score and this defeat showed a real decline from last season's Saudi Pro League champions, in five matches they only managed to get 3 points, a loss that clearly made it impossible for them to defend the title.
The home team only had one good chance but managed to maximize it into a goal, while Ittihad had more chances, all of which failed to become goals. It can be seen that Ittihad had difficulty scoring goals, Hamdallah and Benzema failed to get their team out of defeat because of the goal scored by the home team happened since the early rounds but all of Ittihad's efforts failed.
Hamdallah, who was able to score a lot of goals for the club last season, but seems to be down this season, even Benzema's presence doesn't help this team to retain the title, and Al Hilal, who are again able to win matches, are more comfortable at the top of the standings.

I think Al-Ittihad deserves this defeat and in fact Al-Shabab is not an opponent they can beat easily. Even though they conceded first, Al-Ittihad seemed to have difficulty finding gaps in the Al-Shabab defense and they actually controlled the game with 68% ball possession. But Al-Ittihad failed to convert every opportunity they had into a goal and indeed for Al-Shabab they only needed 1 chance to win at home. I also see that Al-Ittihad is not as usual and continues to experience decline, I don't know why this team has declined and in terms of quality they are filled with several star players who should be more consistent in each match.

Al ittihad was only able making 4 goal attempts from 69% ball possesion which was very bad. This is what i don't like the strategy in acquiring more ball possession. Ittihad needs to use counter attack instead of focusing in controlling the ball.
Al shabab was only able defending from attacks that came from ittihad and then the club can make counter attack as fast as possible. My eyes were so hurt after watching al ittihad's stat against shabab.
The club like being toothless. I can't describe how disappointme but this is really bad result for ittihad. Al ittihad may be out from the title race if the club keeps performing like this. Al nassr is now the closest competitor for al hilal but the gap is also quite big at this moment.
I must admit that if al hilal is the most stable club this season. It's always winning the game.

[Jody.Drummer]

The points difference between these two clubs is 7 points with Al Nassr still having 1 game they haven't played this week. Looking at Al NAssr's opponents this week it looks like they will win the match and make their point difference reduced to 4 points. 4 points is a pretty tight point difference considering the remaining matches in the SPL are still very much. And also the meeting between these two clubs can make the situation change. The meeting of these two clubs is scheduled to take place in the next month and it will definitely be an interesting match.

Yes it's like what I said before, that there are still many opportunities for Al Nassr to catch up with their points from Al Hilal, especially since these two clubs will still meet.
All possibilities can still happen, and the possibility is not only for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal, but Al Hilal itself can stay away from Al Nassr's pursuit.
Apart from that, the way to forget other clubs who are also competitors in the standings, we cannot underestimate names like Al Tawoon and Al Fateh for example and other clubs that are in the top flight now.

I must admit that if al hilal is the most stable club this season. It's always winning the game.

It was crazy how Al Shabab got only one shot on target and one goal out of that. They also did it with having only 31% of the possessions that they had. Really did not expect the match to end like this. I thought the results were going to go the opposite way.
This obviously creates a few problems for Al Ittihad trying to stay at the top of the table and stay relevant for the title race. And let me tell you guys, if the team is not balanced,  and the players are working properly with each other, it doesn’t matter how many great players are in the team, the team is not going to be successful.

[tusandii]

SPL needs to prepare the trophy to be awared to the al hilal.   Al hilal is clearly will be dominating the league. This mitrovic as a former of fulham's striker was fucking amazing.

It is very impressive that Mitrovic, who has just arrived in the Saudi pro league, seems to be trying to appear with his extraordinary talent, scoring 9 goals in 10 matches and it looks like he has a target to become Al Hilal's scoring machine, even though he was wasted at Fulham, he will shine in Al Hilal and I are very happy to see the achievements of Al Hilal who are currently performing very consistently dominating the Saudi pro league until now they are undefeated and this makes it a little difficult for Al Nasr to be behind on points from Al Hilal even though they have Ronaldo and Sadio Mane but the consistency that the club has Al Nasr cannot catch up with Al Hilal's points and at least Al Nassr has to win 3 matches to get first place in the points table but it won't be that easy because Al Hilal will definitely add their points with the next win.
I really enjoy Al Hilal's strategy if the club doesn't win this will end the match for 1 point which is much better than losing points.

[temple]

Well I am finding it difficult to distinguish between the name and the quality. I suppose it is the quality of the players that determines the name they have made and it is something that have been gotten over time. The truth is that, it is not going to be easy for the league to get that performance and credibility like the European leagues. It is a gradual process though. If the league can consistently bring in more star players and upcoming young players, it will grow their fan base.

Lastly, I believe the Saudi Arabia FIFA World Cup will add more spices to the cake since that will be another avenue for them to promote the country.

Of course but the best pizza in the world doesn't taste like the best pizza in the world when it is cold. It has gotten its name for the hot version and once it is cold, it still has the same name, but meh...

When Ronaldo went from Juventus Turin to Manchester United, it was quite obvious that he is not the hottest export anymore. Nobody really cared about him and it did also have to do with his attitude and his performances there. He raised awareness for the Saudi Pro League, but scoring three goals against Al-Ittihad will never be the same as scoring three goals against Barcelona ten years ago. I think it is a good proof that a name of a player can never get bigger than the name of the UEFA in this case. The UEFA Champions League will be the competition that the best players will still want to play and most of the big football fans around the world want to watch. I am still skeptical whether the Saudi Pro League can ever become a product similar to the Premier League or La Liga.

[bitgolden]

I don't know, but it really gives me pleasure to watch Al Hilal. Maybe they spent less money than some clubs, but they are doing great things in terms of football and games. They won a penalty very early and Mitrovic scored the penalty goal into the left corner. On the contrary, Al Hilal's other goal was scored at the end of the match in extra time, and Al Dawseri scored this goal.

Al Hilal has been winning for four matches, I think the difference between them and Al Nassr is not small, even though it is early in the season. Likewise, Nassr started the season very badly, but Al Hilal has already impressed the audience with the play it has played since the beginning of the season.

The points difference between these two clubs is 7 points with Al Nassr still having 1 game they haven't played this week. Looking at Al NAssr's opponents this week it looks like they will win the match and make their point difference reduced to 4 points. 4 points is a pretty tight point difference considering the remaining matches in the SPL are still very much. And also the meeting between these two clubs can make the situation change. The meeting of these two clubs is scheduled to take place in the next month and it will definitely be an interesting match.

I feel like that could very well be 4 points, but the difference is big enough that it would be very difficult for Al-Nassr to catch up, not only Al-Hilal has to lose that much points, but meanwhile Al-Nassr can't lose any points as well. That's not that easy, we are still early in the season, more than half of the games are still left and anything could happen, but Al-Hilal has managed to put themselves at a position that would be hard to dethrone them and could be very difficult to handle.

I think it must be something that may cause a lot of trouble and should be a deal where we can't make the teams change all that easily. I believe we need to handle some sort of situation where we can't have greater return that quickly.

Apart from that, the way to forget other clubs who are also competitors in the standings, we cannot underestimate names like Al Tawoon and Al Fateh for example and other clubs that are in the top flight now.

Al Nassr needs to score in their 3-6 matches consistently to catch up with Al Hilal whereas Al Hilal will need to equally lose in some of their subsequent matches to allow Al Nassr pass them by which is pretty much difficult to do. Al Nassr has missed that opportunity to have lost in their two matches.

I enjoyed today's win which was 2-0 over Khaleej. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was a great opening for the success of Al Nassr today. It is fantastic to have scored over 460 goals before the age of 30 and another 400 goals after the age of 30. I am so excited to see a young man with such great success.

[Leviathan.007]

Finally, Jorge Jesus the coach of Al Hilal started talking about Neymar and his situation after he got injured.
Jorge Jesus, the Portuguese coach of Al Hilal said after Neymar got injured they lost 30 percent of the team's power they had. However, it seems Al Hilal is going to have another injured player because Sergej Milinković-Savić could continue the match and he left the field in the second half of the game.

Looking at Al NAssr's opponents this week it looks like they will win the match and make their point difference reduced to 4 points. 4 points is a pretty tight point difference considering the remaining matches in the SPL are still very much. And also the meeting between these two clubs can make the situation change. The meeting of these two clubs is scheduled to take place in the next month and it will definitely be an interesting match.

Al Nassr achieved victory in front of their supporters in the 12th SPL match this season. Al Nassr managed to beat Al Khaleej with a score of 2-0 and Ronaldo opened the deadlock in the 26th minute and Reporte sealed the victory with a goal he scored in the 58th minute.
So far, Al Nassr performance is quite good because it is able to stick closely to Al Hilal, where the point difference between the two is 4 point. Yes, as you said, 4 point is a fairly narrow margin because if Al Hilal fails in the next match then they will be increasingly under pressure from the threat of Al Nassr in 2nd place.

Well, by the way, Ronaldo has been quite impressive this season with Al Nassr where he has recorded 12 goal and so far he is in the front row as the top goalscorer in the SPL. For the time being, only Mitrovic is closest to Ronaldo as the top scorer because Mitrovic has temporarily recorded 9 goals and he is only 3 goals behind Ronaldo. On the other hand, Benzema seems to have experienced quite a significant setback in terms of scoring goals because so far Benzema has only recorded 5 goals in 10 match.

After Al Hilal won their match yesterday which saw them establish a seven point difference at the summit of the Saudi Pro League standings,  the pressure was shifted to their rivals Al Nassr to win their own today to still remain in good position for the league title chase and today, Cristiano Ronaldo scored to help his team defeat  Al Khaleej and reduce their point difference against league leaders to just four points.
With what we've seen so far this season, I think the Saudi League title will be won by either Al Hilal or Al Nassr. The two clubs are doing well in the league right now.

[TelolettOm]

Al Nassr has missed that opportunity to have lost in their two matches.

Yes, they need to win consistently the next matches if they want to overtake Al Hilal. And the most important thing that they must defeat Al Hilal in matchday 15. I think it will increase the motivation or mentality of Al Nassr players. But if they fail to defeat Al Hilal, I doubt they will have a good chance to win the title for this season.

I enjoyed today's win which was 2-0 over Khaleej. Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was a great opening for the success of Al Nassr today. It is fantastic to have scored over 460 goals before the age of 30 and another 400 goals after the age of 30. I am so excited to see a young man with such great success.

They won with goals today, Ronaldo scored again. As long as Ronaldo can score more goals, I see that Al Nassr always can keep their winning. Ronaldo has a big role to determine the win of Al Nassr. Moreover when there is no Talisca on the lineup, Ronaldo becomes the player that possibly make the difference. Well, I hope Mane also can be more productive in scoring. So, Al Nassr won't depend on 1-2 players only.

The meeting of these two clubs is scheduled to take place in the next month and it will definitely be an interesting match.

Exactly as we expected Al-Nassr won and now only 4 points behind, this situation will continue until the big match Al-Hilal vs Al-Nassr on  December 2, there the two teams will prove who is the best and deserves to be at the top of the standings. On the other hand, the 2 favorite teams Al-Ahli and Ittihad lost their last match so this will open up opportunities for other teams to compete with each other, Al-fateh and Al-Taawoun are 2 teams that have the potential to disrupt the dominance of the leaders of the standings but Al-Taawoun will face a challenge when they come to Al-Hilal stadium next week.

With what we've seen so far this season, I think the Saudi League title will be won by either Al Hilal or Al Nassr. The two clubs are doing well in the league right now.

It could be that the two teams, Al Hilal and Al Nassr, will be strong candidates to win the trophy this season. Al Nassr certainly has strong ambitions to win the championship trophy this season because they have many quality players in the team who can lead them to win the title this season. The difference in points between the two teams is only 4 point after Al Nassr managed to win today match.

For Al Ittihad, who are the defending champions this season it seems that they are out of the hunt for the title this season. Because they currently sit outside the top 4 and also have quite a big difference in point with Al Hilal who are at the top of the standings. Al Taawon can reduce the point gap with Al Nassr if they can take advantage of tomorrow match by getting 3 point.

[Leviathan.007]

Al-Taawon Vs Damac Fc
It seems like Taawon can win and secure three points in tomorrow match, considering that the match will also held at the Taawon club stadium, and at home Taawon have never lost so far in 5 matches.
Meanwhile, Damac FC performance poorly when playing away, in 6 matches they lost 4 times. So I think on paper Taawon is much better and can probably win without difficulty.

The odds for Taawon are currently @1.60, seemed they are favorites in that match. While the odds for Damac win are @4.70, I don't think there is any doubt if bet on Taawon, although the odds are @1.60 but it's not too bad. How do you think guys about this match? If you have another bet option, feel free to give your opinion.

I don't think if it's a wise move to bet on Damac in this match, they have against Al Taawoun.
In fact, Al Taawoun is a strong team, and checking the last five meets they had before, Al Taawoun never lost a game in these five meets while Damac couldn't have this good performance. However, Al Taawoun started the season perfectly but they are losing their place in the league time after time.

[rahmad2nd]

Al Nassr needs to score in their 3-6 matches consistently to catch up with Al Hilal whereas Al Hilal will need to equally lose in some of their subsequent matches to allow Al Nassr pass them by which is pretty much difficult to do.

It is fantastic to have scored over 460 goals before the age of 30 and another 400 goals after the age of 30. I am so excited to see a young man with such great success.

In other words, Al Nassr hopes that Al Hilal will experience defeat when they play some of their matches. for me, that doesn't match the depth of Al Nassr's squad. In fact, Al Nassr has a squad that is much more competitive than any squad competing in this league. Al Nassr should be able to perform consistently with the depth they have. This squad has Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Talisca, and several other names. they just need to maintain their consistency, in order to maintain the distance between Al Hilal's points.

In today's match, Al Nassr was able to win the match over Al Khaleej. Statistically, the opposing team put up quite a fight even though Al Nassr basically controlled 72% of ball possession. however Al Khaleej had 11 total shots, 2 on target, 3 big chances. while Al Nasr, only had 8 total shots, 4 on target, 1 big chance. However, they were able to convert 2 of them into goals. With this result, Al Nassr remains 4 points adrift of the top of the standings.
Well, these two teams have not yet faced each other in the Saudi Pro League competition. Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal's ranking if Al Nassr wins the two meetings. Thus, the top of the standings can be occupied by the team you hope for. but in reality, in football, goes ups and downs can happen to these two teams. Al Hilal could lose points in their matches, the opposite is true with Al Nassr. Well, now, Mitrovic has a collection of 9 goals and is only 3 goals behind Ronaldo. If Al Hilal can win matches with big scores, the temporary top scorer could change position.  Interesting isn't it, so let's just follow every development.

[Renampun]

...

...

Al-Hilal has moved 7 points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League. But it's still too early to make the final call. Just like Arsenal could have won the EPL last season.

Al-Nassr is in the second position, with a game in hand. They are on the rise, and who knows, they might just surprise us? Al-Nassr has to win their next game, by the way!

The league is gradually becoming more exciting.

Al Hilal is still the best team in the SPL until this week, they are unbeaten, while Al Nassr has lost 2 times and Ittihad has lost 3 times. Mitrovic is increasingly chasing Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of top scorers with 9 goals so far, he is the right purchase for Al Hilal besides Neymar.

I see that Ittihad is having difficulty catching up with Al Nassr and Al Hilal and they are not even having any luck facing Al Shabab.

Al Taawon will face Damac later, they have a big enough chance to catch Al Nassr in 2nd place, so far Al Taawon has only lost 1 time, so Al Nassr's position is actually not that safe.

Al Hilal is still the best team in the SPL until this week, they are unbeaten, while Al Nassr has lost 2 times and Ittihad has lost 3 times. Mitrovic is increasingly chasing Cristiano Ronaldo in the list of top scorers with 9 goals so far, he is the right purchase for Al Hilal besides Neymar.

Al Nassr after poor beginning, actually are coming back very strongly and they are create pressure on Al Hilal. With 7 points less than Al Hilal but have one less match than Al Hilal, Al Nassr can reduce the gap to only four points that are not too close but not too far gap between two clubs. Cristiano Ronaldo are playing better in this season for Al Nassr after having a half of last match to adapt to a new club and Saudi Professional League.

A latest goal scored by Cristiano is like a goal from a young player, not a player who is already 38 years old. What a legendary player!

I see that Ittihad is having difficulty catching up with Al Nassr and Al Hilal and they are not even having any luck facing Al Shabab.

I did not expect Al Ittihad to play poorly like this and if they continue this form, they will lose the crown to either Al Hilal or Al Nassr. It's hard for them to defend their trophy if they won't improve a lot and soon enough.
