Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

Al-Ahli could have shifted Al-Nassr's position if they could maximize the previous two matches which ended in a draw and turn them into wins. But even against Damac and Al-Shabab, whose positions were much lower, they were unable to defeat them. I think the Al-Ahli squad is on par with other strong teams such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad but that's not enough when facing a match they should be able to win.

This week Al-Ahli will face Al-Raed who are in the relegation zone and if they still get a draw in this match then they will be even further behind and also more vulnerable to being overtaken by other teams who are directly below them. Firminho and his colleagues must prove that they are a strong team that deserves to compete to win the Saudi League title this season.

Passing week 15, there is actually no change in position, it's just that now the point gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr is widening after Al Nassr lost a big match against Al Hilal. After previously their point gap was 5 points, now, their point gap is 7 points. Of course, it's a long distance, especially when Al Hilal has a very impressive performance. It will be very difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with the 7-point gap, because they expect Al Hilal to have a negative result. But the problem is that now Al Hilal is very difficult to beat. of the 15 matches they played, they only won 2 draws and the rest they won the match without tasting defeat.

The Saudi Professional league is already halfway through the season. and only Al Hilal is undefeated. It is clearly difficult to catch up with the difference in points for Al Nassr. all they can do is not make mistakes and continue to collect all the points in the remaining matches. to be consistent may be difficult for Al Nassr. but at least they secured a match that should have been 3 points for them. Al Hilal will certainly suffer defeat this season, and of course there will be a decline in performance. and that is what Al Nassr must take advantage of. I don't know what Al Nassr's chances of catching points are. because Al Hilal is so good this season.

Al Nassr should not think too much about Al Hilal, I mean they just need to focus on continuing to win 3 points in the matches they play, while waiting for Al Hilal to slip and be defeated by any club. Al Hilal are very strong, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten, be it by clubs of similar strength, or by those weak clubs who won by luck. The competition is still very long, although their points gap is indeed wide but with the remaining matches it is not impossible that Al Hilal can be caught up.

It's not impossible, but it's very difficult. I must say that it became even more difficult, especially considering the defeat they suffered in the match they played against each other. I expected them to at least draw in that match, but they lost. Now their only chance to win the league will be to wait for Al Hilal to lose points.

You're right. Mitrovic is in a strong team, so there is a big support for Mitrovic to be more productive in Saudi league. Although Al Nassr is also a strong team, but Al Hilal can play more solidly as a team. If Ronaldo is in Al Hilal, he even can be better than Mitrovic. Also, it is true that Mitrovic is younger, meanwhile Ronaldo is almost 39 years old. So, we can't compare them, they are in a different situation.

Both players candidate to be Saudi Pro League top scorer between Cristiano Ronaldo and Mitrovic have quit age difference almost ten years with Ronaldo over 39 years old and Mitrovic 29 years old. Its not related comparison between Ronaldo and Mitrovic but I most excited with Ronaldo can compete with player have more young age on top scorer standings position. Both them remaining two goals left Mitorvic made brave last match and Cristiano Ronaldo failed score goals yet when facing Mitorvic teams.

Comparison not only with age but also how support from teams mate to make easy for striker scoring goals, Mitrovic have solid teams mate and Ronaldo with the same condition but Al Hilal have better player on every position. I think Ronaldo not close yet his opportunity to be Saudi Pro League top scorer with many matches left and have two difference goals from Mitrovic.

The 10 year age difference is not a problem because Christiano Ronaldo still has extraordinary potential to compete with young players and become the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League. Christiano Ronaldo has scored 15 goals and Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored 13 goals. This is proof that Christiano Ronaldo is still shining at the moment.

Indeed, I admit that Al Hilal has a squad strength that is almost evenly distributed and is better compared to Al Nassr and indeed if the squad has good strength then Sticker can create goal opportunities well and can score lots of goals but if the squad only has Some of the players who are relied on are not able to maximize their ability to create opportunities.
So far Al Hilal has 2 top scorers Aleksandar Mitrovic with 13 goals and Malcom 9 goals while Al Nassr also has 2 top scorers namely Christiano Ronaldo with 15 goals and Talischa with 8 goals so it could be said that Al Nassr's strength is also almost comparable to Al Hilal it's just that Al Hilal is stronger.

Al-Ahli could have shifted Al-Nassr's position if they could maximize the previous two matches which ended in a draw and turn them into wins. But even against Damac and Al-Shabab, whose positions were much lower, they were unable to defeat them. I think the Al-Ahli squad is on par with other strong teams such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad but that's not enough when facing a match they should be able to win.

This week Al-Ahli will face Al-Raed who are in the relegation zone and if they still get a draw in this match then they will be even further behind and also more vulnerable to being overtaken by other teams who are directly below them. Firminho and his colleagues must prove that they are a strong team that deserves to compete to win the Saudi League title this season.

Firminho still doesn't seem to be able to adapt well at Al-Ahli. He did not play as well as at his previous club Liverpool. He is the same as Benzema who seems to need more time to adjust or adapt. But actually Al-Ahli has just been promoted back to the SPL. And it's natural that this team is not as solid as other teams. What makes Al-Ahli able to be ranked now is because this club made many expensive transfers in the previous transfer market by bringing in many European players. But so far everything has not shown maximum results. It seems that only Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr are currently starting to show good results from European player transfers in yesterday's transfer market.

I think the next match against Al-Raed will be a match that Al-Ahli can win. But if they fail to win this match then it will be very bad for this club. Because they will definitely have more difficulties when playing against strong teams.

Yes, that could happen, but it is difficult to catch Al Nassr even though they are only 4 points apart, but it requires very high consistency to be able to shift Al Nassr's position and in fact Al Nassr is much more consistent in maintaining its position while Al Ahli is always unstable.
Al Ahli will indeed play against Al-Raed even though they can win 3 points from this weak club but look Al Nassr will also play against the weak club Al Riyadh and it is very easy to get 3 points so there is no change in position.

The Al-Raed vs Al-Ahli match may have to be utilized well by Al-ahli to collect more points by getting full points from the match. But actually we cannot underestimate Al-Raed. Because in the match against Al-Wehda, it turned out that Al-Raed was able to achieve a surprising victory. Even though Al-Wehda is ranked 10th while Al-Raed is still struggling in the relegation zone. This means we cannot easily predict the match. Because Al-Raed could win or even just get a draw. However, what is clear is that Al-Ahli should not take this match lightly. They have to play optimally from the start if they want to get full points in this match. Al-Raed will also host the match. And that could be an advantage for Al-Raed. But Al-Ahli's depth is actually much more reliable.

[TelolettOm]

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.

They are strong but they can't play as a solid team like Al Hilal. After they beat Al Nassr, surely the chance to win the title bigger. But it doesn't mean they already win the title. It is true that there are still many remaining matches, so there are many possible things to happen. The point gap can be bigger, but it also can be smaller if Al Hilal fails to maintain their good performance in the future. Let's see if Al Hilal can keep their amazing performance! I only expect that Mitrovic and Savic have no problem with their fitness.

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.

If the point gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr becomes 13 points, I think the race for the title is over already. There is no chance for Al Nassr and other teams in SPL to overtake the 1st place. Al Hilal can safely end the season with perfect achievement. They may be unbeatable until the end of the season. It probably breaks the new record in SPL.

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

If there is no some changes in the next few matches, we can exclude Al Ittihad and Al Ahli from the title race because the point gap is too big. Even Al Nassr seems difficult to compete for the title, they need 8 points to overtake Al Hilal in the top of Saudi Pro League. Honestly, Al Hilal is performing almost perfectly in the first half of this season.

[Strongkored]

It's not impossible, but it's very difficult. I must say that it became even more difficult, especially considering the defeat they suffered in the match they played against each other. I expected them to at least draw in that match, but they lost. Now their only chance to win the league will be to wait for Al Hilal to lose points.

Yes, it is quite unfortunate that in this big match, Al Nassr was unable to get even just one point, and this match made the difference in points between the two teams even further away. There is still a chance for Al Nassr to become champions of the Saudi Pro League this season, but unfortunately, that will also be determined by the results obtained by Al Hilal, and so far there has been no visible decline from Al Hilal, in fact the quite landslide victory over Al Nassr has further confirmed them as The strongest team so far, if they can beat Al Nassr then they can beat other teams which can also be said to be strong, and the point difference is quite large, it could mean that Al Hilal will ensure the title more quickly.

Al Ahli will indeed play against Al-Raed even though they can win 3 points from this weak club but look Al Nassr will also play against the weak club Al Riyadh and it is very easy to get 3 points so there is no change in position.

It seems like that it's very hard for ahli to compete with al nassr to get the second place. Any big clubs in saudi pro leagues are competing each other. It's very hard to determine which club that is going to be on the second place coz nassr is still defending it right now.

Ahli is going to face weak team which will not become a trouble for ahli to beat it while al nassr is also getting the weak opponents too. There will be no change to happen in the current standing.

Al hilal is still leading the competition with huge gap toward al nassr at this moment. SPL teams will try to rebuild the team again to be even better but since ittihad performed so badly and people are rarely talked about that team.

Al ahli will try its best to beat raed. I would pick all of big clubs in the upcoming match day. It's not that hard to determine how they will be

I know that Al-Ahli should not underestimate Al-Raed but wasn't Al-Raed's victory also due to luck because their opponent Al-Wehda only played with 10 people? So I think Al-Raed's victory was nothing more than luck and they also had the advantage of playing at home. Against Al-Ahli is a very significant difference and to be able to draw is the highest result they can achieve. Well, of course Al-Ahli doesn't want to continue to suffer with poor results and they will win the match against Al-Raed later and I'm still waiting for the magic of Firminho and Mahrez for Al-Ahli's attack line.

surprises can definitely happen, but if you compare the Al Ahli vs Al Raed match with Al Raed vs Al Wahda, the situation is very different because Al Raed victory at that time was not only because it was against 10 players but also Al Raed was competing at home while playing at home gives confidence bigger self.

In the Al Ahli match later I will keep my mind away from surprises because Al Ahli will still be able to beat Al Raed easily even with only 2 scores.

Yeah Al-Ahli is one of the Saudi Pro League clubs that brought in many new players in the last transfer window unfortunately they were unable to become competitors to Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, this season Al-Ahli played without a target I mean they won't be able to get tickets to the Asian Champions League next season because the Saudi Pro League only provides 2 tickets and of course Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr will secure the tickets so we don't need to expect much that they will do something this season we can exclude them from the title race. Apart from the competition between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr, another interesting thing is the competition at the bottom of the standings (relegation zone) at least 4 teams will beat each other because they have the same points.

By the way today Al-Nassr is playing in the Asia Champions league they came as a away team, I don't see Ronaldo in the line up or on the bench it seems like the coach rested him because this match wasn't that important I mean it doesn't determine anything because Al-Nassr has definitely qualified for the next round, apart from that, Ronaldo is not fit enough so it is risky to play today. In another match Al-Ittihad and Al-Feiha also played a few hours ago and they won, it seems that the clubs from the Saudi Pro League will send their 3 clubs to the next stage.

Basically, Al Nassr no longer has a big chance, so it doesn't seem right if you say Al Nassr still has a big chance . Because ya, ofcourse, Al Hilal will also maintain its position well because anyway, this season will be the right season for Al Hilal because they have managed to go undefeated so far this season. So ya, I personally will not force myself to make hopes or assessments for Al Nassr to get the Saudi Pro League trophy this season because ya, the big 3-0 defeat at least provides a little proof that Al Hilal is still the best so far this season in the Saudi Pro League.

I would leave the "big" away as the chance is definitely not big at this point. Al-Nassr would have to win game after game whereas Al-Hilal would have to fail three games. They have one more duel against each other and since the first was a 3-0 for Al-Hilal, it's also an indicator of strong Al-Hilal is overall. The game was not weak by Al-Nassr last week, but it was obvious that Ronaldo is a normal human being. He couldn't score despite having so many shots and so much ball possession. This game was so crucial and a draw would have been looking differently now as seven points is quite the distance.

[rahmad2nd]

~~

Both players candidate to be Saudi Pro League top scorer between Cristiano Ronaldo and Mitrovic have quit age difference almost ten years with Ronaldo over 39 years old and Mitrovic 29 years old. Its not related comparison between Ronaldo and Mitrovic but I most excited with Ronaldo can compete with player have more young age on top scorer standings position. Both them remaining two goals left Mitorvic made brave last match and Cristiano Ronaldo failed score goals yet when facing Mitorvic teams.

Comparison not only with age but also how support from teams mate to make easy for striker scoring goals, Mitrovic have solid teams mate and Ronaldo with the same condition but Al Hilal have better player on every position. I think Ronaldo not close yet his opportunity to be Saudi Pro League top scorer with many matches left and have two difference goals from Mitrovic.

This is a part that is quite complicated for us to predict, the problem is that sometimes a player can experience ups and downs in performance and this happens often. which means, not in every match these two strikers are able to consistently score goals. currently, these two players have a difference of two goals. which means, now Ronaldo has a competitor in terms of scoring goals in this competition. related to age, yes, however, that factor is very influential. but what is certain is that these two players are pure stickers who don't put much effort into setting the rhythm of the game. Their only task is to score as many goals as possible for their team, whether it's Ronaldo or Mitrovic. who are supported by other players, as their colleagues on the field.

Moreover, Ronaldo has proven that even though he is not as young as Mitrovic, he can lead as the top scorer so far even though he is only two goals ahead of Mitrovic. So, age doesn't really matter to Ronaldo, even though he's not as sharp as when he was young. Let's see who will be the top scorer until the end of this season. After all, the Saudi Pro League still offers lots of matches. and what is certain is that both teams play their matches, as strikers they will always try to score goals for their squad. What is certain is that Ronaldo is still above Mitrovic's ranking, the competition is still very long. Most importantly, these two stickers were not injured. Thus, the competition until the end will be very decisive for these two players. Let's just follow it, after all there are still 19 matches that will be played by these two teams as well as the available team squads.

[borovichok]

Al-Ahli could have shifted Al-Nassr's position if they could maximize the previous two matches which ended in a draw and turn them into wins. But even against Damac and Al-Shabab, whose positions were much lower, they were unable to defeat them. I think the Al-Ahli squad is on par with other strong teams such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad but that's not enough when facing a match they should be able to win.

This week Al-Ahli will face Al-Raed who are in the relegation zone and if they still get a draw in this match then they will be even further behind and also more vulnerable to being overtaken by other teams who are directly below them. Firminho and his colleagues must prove that they are a strong team that deserves to compete to win the Saudi League title this season.

I never thought Al Hilal can become this fierce this season, this is basically how football operates. Al Hilal have become one of the very competitive clubs in Saudi Arabia and they're currently unbeaten this season, the players deserved some accolades because its never an easy match for them, facing all these challenges and still standing out strong means something for Al Hilal team and the supporters. Al Hilal is taking the trophy home, there's absolutely nothing Al Nassr can do about it other than hoping for Al Hilal to dropped points in upcoming matches.

[FanEagle]

If Al Nassr won that game, I think we would have said that it was only matter of games until they end up getting ahead, it would only require one more points loss, even a draw, that would see Al Nassr ahead, and the difference would be just one game. But because of this loss, suddenly it became 3 game difference and since this league is only 30 games long, it's obvious that they are not going to win it.

I mean if they do get to the final game with less than 3 points difference, then they still have a chance, they will play one more time if I am not wrong right? If that's the case then we could say that Al Hilal needs to have 3+ points to make sure that they could lose that game and still win the title. Otherwise, Al-nassr players will be totally different for the last game, they will paly like it's the most important game of their life, and they have Ronaldo, who loves to shine on big games, maybe failed this time around, but could end up scoring there.

[Kaliandra]

I agree with you, Al Hilal's strength cannot be denied this season if they are a strong team, and indeed seeing Al Hilal's match against Al Nassr with a score of 3-0 certainly makes us even more confident that Al Hilal has the potential to become champions. trophy this season, and Al Hilal did not waste it by bringing in Fulham player Aleksandar Mitrovic who now plays a very important role at Al Hilal and always scores goals, even has the potential to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo in top scorer, Jorge Jesus is also a very great coach in managing strategy By Therefore, until now Al Hilal has not been defeated. In my opinion, Alhilal is very clever in bringing in talented players, not only from the front line which is a concern, but also at the back line, such as by bringing in Chelsea's talented player, Koulibaly has strong strength in guarding the defense line.

Picture taken from: https://www.bola.com/amp/5329240/sah-kalidou-koulibaly-resmi-hijrah-ke-arab-saudi-gabung-al-hilal

Even though I am a fan of Cristiano Ronaldo, I can't deny that Al Hilal has a stronger advantage over Al Nassr. Al Hilal defeated Al Nassr with three goals without an equalizer, and Al Hilal may end up winning the league because of their outstanding play. Al Hilal currently leads the league with 41 points, while Al Nassr is second with 34 points. This is a 7-point difference between the two teams. Al Hilal have not lose any of their games, still doing well with the players they have. Since Neymar is not playing due to the injury, i had assumed that their performance would not be as good as it is now, they would have scored more against Al Nassr if Neymar had been present.

With the constant effort of Cristiano Ronaldo's to keep the team at the top of every game, if Al Nassr fails to win the Saudi Pro League title, it will be really bad news for the team. Even when they lose the match, it is still bad news. I cannot hope that Al Nassr will win the league title, with the current players and performance of Al Hilal, despite the fact that they have players like Talisca, Sadio Mane, Brozovic, and Ronaldo who can win a match.

With the presence of K. Koulibaly it will certainly be difficult for Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane and Talisca because K. Koulibaly's guard is very strong and difficult for Al-nassr to penetrate and this is Al-Hilal's specialty and he always consistently wins matches. Al Nassr has a 7 point difference with Al Hilal, of course this will make it difficult for Al Nassr to get ahead of Al Hilal because of course Al Hilal will continue to try and have the potential to continue winning the match. If, for example, there was still Neymar, I think it would make Al Hilal's strength even greater.

If, for example, Al Nassr fails to win, I don't think there is a problem and of course the name Cristiano Ronaldo will never die, even if for example he fails in a match and doesn't qualify as champion this season, but what is clear is that most people want Cristiano Ronaldo to win the match this season. and I am amazed by Cristiano Ronaldo's aspire struggle to bring Al Nassr to number 1 this season.
But we won't know what the future holds because Al Nassr could become strong and end up winning this season. And of course a miracle could happen and Al Nassr will become champions this season.

Al Hilal have become one of the very competitive clubs in Saudi Arabia and they're currently unbeaten this season, the players deserved some accolades because its never an easy match for them, facing all these challenges and still standing out strong means something for Al Hilal team and the supporters. Al Hilal is taking the trophy home, there's absolutely nothing Al Nassr can do about it other than hoping for Al Hilal to dropped points in upcoming matches.

Not this season, in most of the season the team Al-Hilal is at its best being on the top position. The presence of popular player have made big expectation on Al-Nassr. The three losses were against Al-Taawoun, Al-Ettifaq, now it is against Al-Hilal and have drawn a match against Abha which is at the 16^th position on points table. The season is half the way and in the remaining matches Al-Hilal will be performing better than before. Now the fight will be Al-Nassr to secure its second position on the points table.

Al-Ahli could have shifted Al-Nassr's position if they could maximize the previous two matches which ended in a draw and turn them into wins. But even against Damac and Al-Shabab, whose positions were much lower, they were unable to defeat them. I think the Al-Ahli squad is on par with other strong teams such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad but that's not enough when facing a match they should be able to win.

This week Al-Ahli will face Al-Raed who are in the relegation zone and if they still get a draw in this match then they will be even further behind and also more vulnerable to being overtaken by other teams who are directly below them. Firminho and his colleagues must prove that they are a strong team that deserves to compete to win the Saudi League title this season.

Their matches against Damac and Al-Shabab ended unexpectedly. This caused Al-Ahli to lose 4 points. If they had not lost these 4 points, their points would have been equal to Al Nassr. They met expectations by scoring 6 goals in their last match. I expect a good performance in the next matches.

When I looked at Al Hilal's squad, I thought they would perform well and they did. They currently have 41 points and are 7 points away from the 2nd place team. 7 points difference in the 15 matches they played is a lot and they managed to do it.

Will Al Hilal be able to maintain this performance? Because if they lose a match, the opponents coming behind them may pose a danger to them.
