Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Minecache]

Now after the defeat of yesterday Al Nasrr needs to cut seven points against a much better team than theirs. IS gonna be very difficult and you need to retake the path of wins fast because after this kind of lose you can  lost the track and before than sooner you can be in third position.

Even though Al-Nassr was able to control more of the ball in that match, I really appreciated Al-Hilal's defense which was really strong and difficult to penetrate. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal but unfortunately the referee decided that the goal was invalid because it was offside. Al-Nassr's defeat in this match will definitely disappoint many people. But from this match, Al-Nassr must realize that they have to learn from Al-Hilal. It is not enough for a team to only be strengthened by a good attack line. But it must also be balanced with a strong defense and a midfield that can help aggressively backwards and forwards. Al-Hilal already has that balance. But their Al-Nassr is only strong on the front. But their back line was really full of gaps in that match. But Al-Nassr's goalkeeper, N. Alaqidi, actually made a lot of good saves in that match. But he was overwhelmed because too many attacks from Al-Hilal managed to go straight towards him.

But I hope the Al-Nassr squad is not too burdened by the defeat in this match. They just have to work harder in the next matches. Because this season, Al-Nassr will definitely face Al-Hilal again around the end of the season. Al-Nassr must prepare from now on not to lose in the next meeting.

But now I'm really confused. If Al-Nassr has even failed to beat Al-hilal then which team will be able to stop Al-hilal this season? I think the Al-Hilal squad is really difficult to stop. The attack they built was even very high quality. They are very effective in taking advantage of opportunities and not many opportunities are wasted.

I think it will be hard for any other team right now to actually stop Al Hilal. They have been performing really well. And I definitely did not expect that Al Nassr was going to lose to them so badly. I thought it was actually going to be a contest and I even thought that Al Nassr was actually going to win this match. But now it seems like Al Hilal is far better. At least that's what I think looking at the match between them. With the amount of points that they have advantaged over the other teams, I don't think they are going to give up that advantage any time soon if ever.

Even though only with this match Al-Nassr could shorten the point difference, they failed to do so even though this was an away match. Al-Nassr was only able to press and couldn't score goals, this is why in the end they became weak when the match was ending and started conceding a lot of goals. Of course, we often see the results of matches like this and it is not surprising if in the end the team that is under pressure is the one who wins. Well, it looks like Al-Nassr will have increasingly difficulty chasing Al-Nassr and they can only hope that other teams will be able to tackle Al-Hilal in the next match.

In my opinion this is a first huge tipping point in the season because these seven points difference really look like a lot and also mean a lot I can imagine. In some other leagues it would also be a lot but maybe not the end of the world. But in this case Al-Hilal doesn't look as if they would start having some unexpected struggles. They are in top shape and have the best offense and the best defense by far. Running behind Al-Hilal now with 7 points behind must feel like a loss for Al-Nassr and Ronaldo already.

Yes, seven points will likely make Al Hilal comfortable at the top of the standings and if you look at the goal statistics it shows that they are not only superior in points but also in games, their attack is as good as their defense so it will be difficult for Al Nassr to see their competitors slipped because they needed Al Hilal to lose at least three times to be able to shift the current leader of the standings, and that means two seasons, more precisely one and a half seasons, Ronaldo has not been able to bring his team to become champions and of course, he will be disappointed even though he can set several personal records in this league.
Al Nassr controlled the ball in this match but Al Hilal was more effective in attacking so that the home team could win, and also Ronaldo has a strong contender for top scorer because Aleksandar Mitrović has not been stopped so far.

Al-Hilal are unstoppable right now and Al-Nassr opportunity to reduce the points gap failed very badly after a defeat by 3 goals to 0.. Mitrovic is getting closer in terms of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo with only 2 goals difference, followed by Malcolm with 9 goals scored. Al-Hilal has a good defence and attack lines making all their opponents look weak.
The match went smooth apart from the Al Bulaihi childish interaction with Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr fans. He deserved the red card!

[tusandii]

I hope that with Al Nassr defeat to Al Hilal yesterday, there will be a reaction from management and club officials to reorganize their list of target players and move actively in the next transfer window. I'm pretty sure there will be a big push from fans to make an effort to build the squad, and we will see another transfer list with crazy prices in the future. Regarding Al Hilal's chances of winning the SPL trophy, I think they are already halfway there, or you could say they have secured 50 chances at this point.

It's not an easy matter to beat Al Nassr, we know there is the Ronaldo factor which is always the difference in every match. However, we have to be realistic, that one star player without being supported by an even squad depth will not be able to secure 3 points. Ronaldo is old, he needs colleagues who can contribute as well or close to him, so that his ambitions will be easier to realize.

If I'm not mistaken, Al Nassr's European player quota only has 1 left. If Al Nassr management tries to recruit players, at least they must really be able to choose quality players and must pay attention to good track records so that they don't experience failure like Al Hilal recruiting Neymar which caused big losses for Al Hilal.
There are several names that have been linked with being recruited by Saudi Arabian clubs, including Luka Modric, Antoine Griezmann, Kevin De Bruyne, Lewandowski, Mohammed Salah, Jorginho. whether that's true or not, but I don't know for sure whether Al Nassr intends to increase the quota of players from the European leagues, but what is clear is that maybe Al Nassr will think about it when the transfer market opens.

In my opinion Al Nassr has a squad that is almost balanced, indeed the most respected is Ronaldo, but Al Nassr also has other quality players such as Talisca and Sadio Mane and Al Nassr not only relies on Ronaldo but Al Nassr also relies on other player and indeed we all know that Ronaldo's strength is not as sharp as before.

[borovichok]

Yes, seven points will likely make Al Hilal comfortable at the top of the standings and if you look at the goal statistics it shows that they are not only superior in points but also in games, their attack is as good as their defense so it will be difficult for Al Nassr to see their competitors slipped because they needed Al Hilal to lose at least three times to be able to shift the current leader of the standings, and that means two seasons, more precisely one and a half seasons, Ronaldo has not been able to bring his team to become champions and of course, he will be disappointed even though he can set several personal records in this league.

An top club competes for a draw rather than settling for less than optimal outcomes. Al Hilal fulfills the description of an SPL club with good winning results. They are just for the most compelling. They humiliated Al Nassr 3 – 0, which was seen as an excellent badge of embarrassment for the team. Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus has scored additional points to take the lead in the standings, surpassing Al Nassr boss Luís Castro in mass. After scoring three points against Al Nassr, Al Hilal leads them by a deficit of seven points at the moment.

[rendravolt]

Al-Taawoun managed to beat hosts Al-Shabab with a score of 1-2 and this also made Al-Taawoun closer to Al-Ittihad with the same 28 points. Even though this is a fairly even match between the two teams and Al-Shabab should be the one who has the chance to win this match. But they failed to do so and although Al-Shabab took the lead through a goal scored by Yannick Carassco, their lead was immediately reversed through a brace scored by Pedro. This result makes Al-Shabab even further removed from the top 10 and their performance is very different from last season.

[Docnaster]

Al-Hilal definitely showed the world that they are the far superior team and they won the title with this game. I know that people will say the season is not over yet and Al-Nassr still has a mathematical chance to win it and all that, but I honestly believe that with this game I believe that the game is over and the season is over as well.

They will not end up losing to anyone that commonly, they will mostly get wins, and I doubt they would even lose 7 points until the season as well, they may not get like 2 losses and a draw up until the end of the season from here on out. That is important of course, and they may just guaranteed their title for the season, and even if they do lose some, Al-Nassr will not end with 100% win rate.

It is clear that Al Hilal is the only strongest club in the Saudi Pro League, no club can compete with Al Hilal's strength. Even though Al Nassr also looks strong with European star players, this is not enough to match the strength of the squad Al Hilal is very worthy if Al Hilal can win the title this season considering its consistency outstanding.

Yesterday's match was proof that Al Nassr cannot compete with Al Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League trophy because now Al Hilal has maintained quite a distance with Al Nassr, chasing 7 points, of course it is very difficult for Al Nassr, but even though Al Nassr cannot win 100% at least Al Nassr has tried hard to show their best this season and has not experienced any decline.

Al Hilal for the past ten years has not just been the most consistent club in Saudi Arabian League but also one of the strongest clubs in the Asian Football Confederation as they've won the AFC Champions League title in two of the last four seasons as well as qualifying to the final of the competition last season before been defeated by Japanese club Urawa Red Diamonds. The current champions of Saudi Arabia without doubt has been the most consistent team in the Saudi Pro League this season but I was expecting more from Al Nassr than the performance they delivered on Friday night.

Losing by a three goals to nil to Al Hilal was a very embarrassing result to Al Nassr and that's because of the fact that they're regarded as the only team that's gonna challenge the league champions for the title this season after impressive start to the league season. Cristiano Ronaldo who's the leading scorer in the league couldn't help his club to avoid defeat in the game even when he played the who 90 minutes of the game. Al Hilal's win now takes them to seven points above second placed Al Nassr and that I think will make it very difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with them

With the success of Al Hilal defeating Al Nassr it is clear, it looks like Al Hilal will get the Saudi Pro League trophy this season, Also, in the top scorer competition it looks like it will also be obtained by Al Hilal players and thus, it is clear this season Al Hilal is the best team in the Saudi Pro League. Because anyway, so far this season also only Al Hilal has managed to be unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League and thus, it is certainly feasible for Al Hilal to get the trophy this season. I can't imagine how if Neymar is still fresh to play in every Al Hilal match, then maybe Al Hilal will have good dominance in all competitions this season.

[Volgastallion]

With not a minor detail, Al Hilal is making all this without his key player Neymar who is injured and is no gonna be available for long, this show how rich and good is Al Hilal team. Clearly a step ahead from all the other teams in the league.

I want to see the next season with the teams being more solid than this season. Al itihad is gonna be a very good one for example.

I can't imagine how if Neymar is still fresh to play in every Al Hilal match, then maybe Al Hilal will have good dominance in all competitions this season.

It's true, if Neymar is available again it will be quite difficult to stem Al Hilal progress in the SPL in the future. Al Nassr defeat is proof that, no club has been able to make them stumble, many hope that Al Nassr will be able to provide resistance in this match. It turns out, Al Nassr had to lose with a landslide score of 3-0 without reply, although it is difficult to accept, but that is the reality, Al Hilal currently has a big chance of winning the SPL trophy.

In terms of top scorers, Ronaldo still leads with 15 goals in the SPL, followed by Mitrovic with 13 goals in second place. This is also the fiercest competition this season, I am sure Ronaldo will be the top scorer this season. on the other hand, there is still one more round ahead and we will see how these favorite clubs fare in securing their position in the SPL standings.

For now, the gap that has been established has reached 7 points, which means that Al Nassr must hope that Al Hilal will lose points in 3 matches, and they must continue to be consistent in securing points in their own matches. Personally, I am very curious to what extent Al Hilal will be able to maintain this positive trend, 15 matches have passed without being touched by defeat.

[QueenVera]

Al Nassr experienced really crushing defeat and indeed Al Hilal victory was unpredictable because Al Nassr itself is not weak team at the moment, making many people think there is still chance for Al Nassr to win.
But it is true that predicting match like this will be very difficult and this is the difficulty where doubts will always exist and be present when two strong team meet.
You lost this bet but there is no need to regret it because you are not the only one who experienced this loss.

In the second half, all Al Hilal players had their game suddenly improve significantly and they could easily make the Al Nassr defense line fall apart.
This was Al Nassr only defeat in the SPL which made it quite difficult for them to keep up with the game and this defeat certainly made many people, especially Al Nassr fans, feel disappointed.

I also thought that it was very possible for Al Nassr to be able to match Al Hilal game, but in the end all these hopes could not be realized.
Now the difference in points between the two teams is getting bigger again.

This defeat yes wasn’t expected but quite a number of punters thought about this defeat as Al Hilal were better composed in the attack and defense than Al Nassr, even though alot of viewers would had really prefer Al Nassr to win the match cause of their G.O.A.T Cristiano Ronaldo who couldn't do much to rescue his team from a defeat like he did the previous time they met, it's not the end of the road for Ronaldo and his teammates though, they have maintain consistency even after this Defeat.

 This defeat is quite a huge one for Ronaldo and the Al Nassr fans as it widens the gap in the chase for the league but that doesn’t mean the team can’t gel better and come out stronger, there are quite a lot to play as there are quite some crazy run of matches to hit let’s see how Al Nassr would run this with their fans.

I want to see the next season with the teams being more solid than this season. Al itihad is gonna be a very good one for example.

We clearly saw Neymar was not really effective in Al Hilal and his absence didn't change anything for this team. I think with or without Neymar, Al Hilal could still have the same performance and maybe spending this huge amount of money for a player like that was really useless for Al Hilal considering the players they already had in this team.

In my opinion this is a first huge tipping point in the season because these seven points difference really look like a lot and also mean a lot I can imagine. In some other leagues it would also be a lot but maybe not the end of the world. But in this case Al-Hilal doesn't look as if they would start having some unexpected struggles. They are in top shape and have the best offense and the best defense by far. Running behind Al-Hilal now with 7 points behind must feel like a loss for Al-Nassr and Ronaldo already.

With the progress that Al Hilal has shown so far, I am quite happy to see it. the reason is, Al Hilal is not really filled with players who have big star names. perhaps the only one Neymar, who has a big name. however, in fact, so far the reports are still confusing. or most likely, if I am not up to date regarding developments in the news. however, referring to the list of players, and referring to Transfermarkt, Neymar's status is still an Al Hilal player, even his contract is until June 2025. Regardless of Neymar's presence or absence, Al Hilal is still showing its best performance. In fact, before this Brazilian star player was brought in from PSG.

Al Hilal, has midfield players who complement each other plus it seems like they have achieved a strong bond. Sergej and Neves are so harmonious playing as double pivots. while Michael, Malcom, Al Dawsari, played a big role in helping Mitrovic who became the Target Man player for their team. However, Malcom and Al Dawsari are two players who are equally productive in terms of scoring goals. Malcom has scored 9 goals in 15 matches with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. while Al Dawsari, one of the local players in the Al Hilal squad, has scored 7 goals in his 14 matches in this competition. apart from that, Al Hilal's defense is filled with quality players, including goalkeeper Bono.

This team is one unit, and that is why they have been able to perform consistently so far. winning 7 points, will not make Al Hilal satisfied. at least, Jorge Jesus will continue to try to bring his team to a consistent appearance. If Al Hilal is able to play consistently, it will be difficult for the teams below them to reduce the point difference. However, this is not the end, at least there are still a lot of matches left. Let's just follow every development in this competition.

It can be confirmed that Neymar contribution is ''0'' for Al-Hilal this season, apart from injury, he also has other matches scheduled with the national team so he doesn't have time to play with the club. In general we can say bringing in Neymar is a waste of money, but based on business they certainly have other plans so there is no need to be surprised if Neymar will stay with Al-Hilal until next season and expenses are not a big problem for them as long as their goals go according to plans. Neymar is truly lucky that without his contribution, his name will be listed as one of the players who won the Saudi Pro League title while Ronaldo, who continues to struggle in every match, has not yet got it  this is what is called luck, it comes at the right time.

The only strong club? Do you exclude Al Nassr, Al Ahli, and Al Ittihad?
I don't think Al Hilal is the only strongest club, there 3 other strong teams as well.
If Al Hilal is in the 1st place, it is because they can play more consistently than other teams.

Yesterday's match was proof that Al Nassr cannot compete with Al Hilal in the race for the Saudi Pro League trophy because now Al Hilal has maintained quite a distance with Al Nassr, chasing 7 points, of course it is very difficult for Al Nassr, but even though Al Nassr cannot win 100% at least Al Nassr has tried hard to show their best this season and has not experienced any decline.

We can't conclude it according to a single match only. Although yesterday Al Hilal destroyed Al Nassr, it doesn't mean Al Nassr quality is lower than Al Hilal players. Leading with 7 points also doesn't guarantee the trophy yet. There are still many remaining matches, the chance to overtake Al Hilal is still very open.

[Kaliandra]

Al-Hilal has a good defence and attack lines making all their opponents look weak.
The match went smooth apart from the Al Bulaihi childish interaction with Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr fans. He deserved the red card!

Of course, the top scorer is currently still held by Cristiano Ronaldo with 15 goals and Mitrovic with 13 goals. Of course, this is a tight competition between Mitrovic and Cristiano Ronaldo and I think it is possible that this season Mitrovic will be the top scorer winner because Mitrovic's performance is extraordinary. . And at the match it was a real shame for Talisca in the 10th minute that she failed to take advantage of the opportunity even though if there had been a goal at that time it might have prevented Al Nassr from losing much of their score and it could have 3-1. Yes, I didn't think Al Bulayhi could do that, maybe he was too happy because Al Hilal scored so much. but what I am waiting for is the match between Al Hazm and Al-nassr, but the time is very far away and I want to know whether the result will be the same as when Al Hilal fought Al Hazm with a score of 0-9 or not. And I want to compare whether Al Hazm will be beaten by Al nassr with a lot of scores or not and whether there are changes in terms of al hazm's strength.

The Al Hilal match against Al Nassr is still very far away and I hope that in the next match Al Nassr as the host will win the match.

Those clubs were strong but they are not as strong as al hilal. That was also sense explanation for him. When you are leading the competition with the bigger game and it gives you more chance to win the trophy. It was not giving guarantee but if the club will able to keep up with this gap till last two matches then al hilal will be a winner. Al hilal is dominating the league now. The manchester city of saudi pro league.  There are still many matches to come. The chance to make the gap becomes even bigger is still there.

 

I wanna see al hilal to have at least 13 points gap toward the second place. Al hilal needs 6 points more gap toward the second place. Al hilal is always the best with mitrovic and savic.

Ronaldo was so amazing to play in the al nassr but he was always carrying the club. Mitrovic is not as big as GOAT but his contribution to the al hilal is a lot.

The competition is going to be even stricter. Ittihad has been suffering the decline. I won't count it toward the title race.

Al Hilal is indeed strong team and what most people say about that is true, but Al Nassr is also strong team too and in my opinion this defeat is because of Al Hilal superiority in the home game because if they both play outside then I sure Al Nassr can keep up with Al Hilal.
Ronaldo has made good contribution and he will always be the best for Al Nassr, this defeat should be lesson that Al Nassr must be better in the future and it is task for all players so that when they meet again they can beat Al Hilal.
We all know that Al Hilal has more star players from Europe than Al Nassr and that could also be factor in the strength of Al Hilal squad this season, but there is still the upcoming transfer window and all team including Al Nassr can strengthen the squad by bringing in several players Europe.

Of course it is very far apart because Al Hilal now has 41 points while Al Nassr has 34 points, but it is true what you said that this is not the end so there is still time for Al Nassr to fight for the SPL title.
At least in the next few matches Al Nassr will be able to always win with the aim of being able to gain points consistently and wait for Al Hilal to make mistakes.

[Arenga pinnata]

Even though only with this match Al-Nassr could shorten the point difference, they failed to do so even though this was an away match. Al-Nassr was only able to press and couldn't score goals, this is why in the end they became weak when the match was ending and started conceding a lot of goals. Of course, we often see the results of matches like this and it is not surprising if in the end the team that is under pressure is the one who wins. Well, it looks like Al-Nassr will have increasingly difficulty chasing Al-Nassr and they can only hope that other teams will be able to tackle Al-Hilal in the next match.

In my opinion this is a first huge tipping point in the season because these seven points difference really look like a lot and also mean a lot I can imagine. In some other leagues it would also be a lot but maybe not the end of the world. But in this case Al-Hilal doesn't look as if they would start having some unexpected struggles. They are in top shape and have the best offense and the best defense by far. Running behind Al-Hilal now with 7 points behind must feel like a loss for Al-Nassr and Ronaldo already.

Al-Nassr really used up too much energy from the first half so that in the second half they started to lose focus. Because Al-hilal's defense is really difficult to penetrate. But Al-Hilal since the first half they played quite sparingly with energy but every time they made an attack it was an attack that was difficult for Al-Nassr's defense to block and it always almost resulted in a goal. The difference in the strength of the back lines of these two teams is so big. And the effectiveness of the game is also superior to Al-hilal. Al-Nassr made many attacks that were wasted because they were always blocked by Al-hilal's back line.

A difference of 7 points is indeed very large. Even with Al-hilal's condition which is currently very good, it is difficult for us to imagine that Al-hilal will lose to a team that is weaker than Al-nassr. Maybe Al-ittihad and Al-ettifaq could make things difficult for Al-hilal. But that will happen in the second half of the season. Yes, and at that time Al-hilal could have had a bigger point difference.

Yes, I also understand how Al Nassr was at that time, but it was all because all the Al Nassr players wanted to win the match, so their high level of self-confidence turned into uncontrollable ambition, loss of balance and lost focus, only thinking about attacking without looking at the defense. slightly lower at Al Nassr than at Al Hilal.
From this problem I can conclude that Al Nassr was actually just too ambitious to score but didn't care about the defense which was unable to withstand the attack and on one side Ronaldo's position was actually trying to help as best as possible and the other mistake was holding the ball for too long without any strong pressure.
So it was natural that Al Nassr lost because the central midfielders and attackers had to come out to help make the defense stronger but unfortunately failed.
The current difference in points makes it seem hopeless for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal points.
