Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Maybe the scenario will go like that, but if we predict, is it possible that Al Hilal will let the goalkeeper go when the team's performance is in very good condition at the moment? I quite doubt that will happen unless Barcelona are willing to exchange for their star player, not a reserve player or a player whose performance is mediocre, and which star will they give up to get the Moroccan goalkeeper? I doubt this will happen and Barcelona will look for another goalkeeper who may be without a club like David de Gea because it is quite risky for Al Hilal to let go of their goalkeeper if they don't get a goalkeeper of the same or better quality.

I don't sure with Al Hilal want let their goal keeper Yassine Bounou to Barcelona although have good option with exchange some Barcelona players, Al Hilal on top current performance and manage top standings position in domestic league actually they won't loss any players yet how to get close for domestic league tittle. Al Hilal have many matches left in domestic league and AFC Champion League will run knock out round, they try with consistent performance between domestic league and AFC Champion League not have urgent for selling their main goals keeper Yassine Bounou who signed last several months ago.

Currently, Xavi Hernandez ever said to media Barcelona will not find replacement for goal keeper position after Stegen injury and absent for several months later. David De Gea is good choose for short term for Barcelona without must spent fees transfer because this players without club yet and become free agent after his contract expiry with Manchester United.

Marc-André ter Stegen is injured in Barcelona and he is going to be out for a long time after the surgery he had recently, that's why Barcelona is trying to find an alternative goalkeeper and now it seems Yassine Bounou the goalkeeper of Al Hilal is linked to Barcelona. Usually, we see the Saudis trying to hire players from top European teams but now it seems Barcelona wants to hire an Arab goalkeeper.

Al Hilal's efforts with Barcelona make me suspect that there will be an exchange of players, for example Barcelona wants goalkeeper Al Hilal and Barcelona will give players to Al Hilal but this is just my suspicion because we all know that all clubs in Saudi Arabia always bring in players from Europe which is very rare. selling players to European clubs or maybe Barcelona is just looking for players at a cheaper price and doesn't care where the players come from.
If this really happens, it seems like Al Hilal will not let go of Yassine Bounou because this goalkeeper is very reliable at Al Hilal, who performs quite well in every match, so perhaps the news regarding this goalkeeper will just be a rumor.

I've read of the rumour about Barcelona trying to replace their injured goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen with Al Hilal's first choice goalkeeper Yassine Bounou and I think it's a very good news for Saudi Pro League fans as one of the biggest clubs in Europe now wants to get the services of a Saudi based player. Over the past 12 months, we've seen a lot of European based players been signed by Saudi clubs in their quest to improve the quality of football in the country as well as to get further global audience - a mission they've achieved to an extent. A lot of people are of the opinion that Saudi based players forget doesn't possess the quality that European clubs would want to sign but if the deal between Barcelona and Yassine Bounou happens, it'll go a long way to change that belief and narrative about Saudi based players.

This January transfer window is coming, I hope Xavi Hernandez make good use of these opportunities to sign players. Xavi Hernandez now faces tough challenges and the only thing that can save him is only if he's able to filled in the shoes of these important players. Bringing someone to replace Marc-André ter Stegen will do great help and served as beneficial aides for the club. We know how vulnerable Barcelona can become when they're at the losing end this season. Marc-André ter Stegen is important to be among the starting squad for Barcelona this season, he's always present to lead this game to next levels.

FC Damac currently in the good shape they even unbeatable in the last 4 matches in Saudi Pro League so Al Ittihad should be careful to them because FC Damac had a potention to make Al Ittihad to slipped today and Marcelo Gallardo as a new manager of Al Ittihad has hard task because he have to bringing this team to performing well again and previously Al Ittihad had poor records for away matches that since August Al Ittihad was never win anymore from away matches in Saudi Pro League so this is new challenge for Marcelo Gallardo to improved Al Ittihad records under him and Al Ittihad has odds @1.92 this proven they are the favourite and since Gallardo train this team last month Al Ittihad still unbeatable with gets 3 wins from 4 matches in all competitions so maybe Al Ittihad can resumes their winning streak today and win from FC Damac

Damac has been described as a dark horse in the SPL this season. They are a team that is not that strong but can always give strong teams trouble. Even Al-Hilal couldn't beat Damac. That's why we can't underestimate Damac. Al-ittihad must prepare for the worst scenario that could happen to them. Benzema must not waste the opportunity in this match. Because Damac has a pretty solid defense and it will be very difficult for Al-ittihad to create good opportunities. So when Al-ittihad gets an opportunity, the Al-ittihad players must immediately maximize this opportunity. Damac is a little different from other teams. This team is not very sharp in attack but quite strong in defense. In terms of player quality, of course Al-ittihad is superior, but in terms of game strategy, both are equally superior.

But I would bet on Al-ittihad. I think at least Al-ittihad will win even with a small score like 0-1. Let's see.

Is Xavi crazy? Saudi Arabia has a lot money and they willing to pay for high amount to get the European player, if Xavi want to sign a player from Saudi Arabia, it means he need to spend ridiculous amount to sign him.

It's not worth it, better to sign a goalkeeper from Ligue 1, Serie A or small leagues.

In fact, currently several European clubs seem to be targeting players in the Arab League. Two clubs from the Premier League are also planning to borrow players from the Arab League. One of them is Newcastle which is owned by PIF which also owns several clubs in the SPL. So I wouldn't be surprised if Barcelona joins this trend. And actually right now Yassine Bounou is really surprising everyone in the Arab league. Because this goalkeeper is one of the keys to why Al-hilal rarely concedes the ball this season. I think this player from Morocco is currently attracting the attention of many clubs. Because he is like a big wall that makes it difficult for the ball to penetrate Al-Hilal's goal this season. But yeah I think it's a bit excessive if Xavi wants it. Because of course Al-hilal will not let its flagship goalkeeper go. And Yassine Bounou must also have a big salary there. So there is no reason for him to be interested in moving clubs. Because he had only been at Al-Hilal for a short time.

I think this is just a rumor and not entirely true if Xavi wants Yassine Bounou who preferred to leave Europe last summer. Besides, as you said, the costs involved are the same as what Al-Hilal did to get Yassine Bounou from Seville, so I think this will just be a waste of money. He also has to consider other goalkeeper options from several top European leagues because there are still good goalkeepers there who can be a temporary replacement for Ter Stegen who is still injured. So it's better while there is still time, I think Xavi should consider it and Al-Hilal will certainly not let Yassine Bounou go easily, especially since their struggle to convince this goalkeeper to move cannot be underestimated, even though there are other forces besides big money.

The few times Damac FC Vs Al Ittihad have met have been very competitive games. Damac FC being the stronger side won three of the five matches, and drew the remaining two matches. Damac FC attack is very tough defense section and strong due to which victory is guaranteed in most of the matches. Damac FC can definitely win this match as their attacking department is very quick and Al Ittihad will try hard enough today with their strength to perform well.

Damac is a team they are currently in the middle of the table and this team can even beat Al Ittihad but this can be a shame for Al Ittihad if they lose this match because Al Ittihad spent too much money and invested in the team to have good performance during this season but currently Al Ittihad got only 28 points in all the game they had so far and that's not good for this team at all.

Previously Al Ahli and Taawon were also can hold to a draw by Damac, so indeed Ittihad must be extra careful in this match. To collect three points, surely it will not be easy but considering that Ittihad also has a good trend in their last few matches, it is likely that they will not lose. And it seems like there's still time to bet on this match, but maybe I'll just bet on both teams to score rather than bet on Ittihad, because in my opinion the possibility of a draw result in this match is also quite high.

Damac is currently leading with 1 goal and there are still many possibilities that could happen because Ittihad will certainly not let this score last until the match is over because after successfully recovering from the defeat to Al Shabab, Ittihad is trying to be able to return to its best performance so as not to lose many points which would be possible for their position to drop further because Al Taawon who will face Al Feiha could make Ittihad drop further in ranking.
This season, Ittihad has experienced quite a decline, their striker, who performed well last season, is having quite a difficult time scoring goals, so far he has only scored 7 goals in the 13 matches he has played, and Karim Benzema did not play in this match due to injury, so Hamdallah will be Ittihad FC's mainstay. to score goals and prevent them from losing

[rojan]

Al-Hazm vs Al Fateh two teams match in Saudi Professional League has already started. Al-Hazm is now leading by 2 goals. It seems that Al-Hazm team will score more goals. Al Fateh team has not scored any goals yet. Al Fateh team  May not be able to score any goals in today's match. I don't see the performance of Al Fateh team players very well. Al Fateh team can still draw the match if they perform well.

Discussing Al Hilal and Al Nassr as strong candidates to win the Saudi Pro League title is never-ending, in fact it makes me tired of continuing to talk about these two clubs despite all that, I will start a new topic which is no less important because the Saudi Pro League does not only belong to Al Hilal and Al Nassr

today we will watch a match that is no less important, namely Damac FC vs Ittihad FC. This match is very important for Ittihad FC to improve their position in the points table, even so Damac is a club that is not easy to beat. In the last 5 matches Damac has not received a defeat and got 2 draws so Ittihad has to be careful in this match because Damac will be playing at home and Damac's home record is quite good. If Ittihad doesn't succeed in stealing these points he will be even further behind.

Yes, the Saudi league doesn’t belong to these 2 teams but their successes in the league is what attracts our talks. Like these two teams have gained some massive successes and they’re worthy of every recognition they are both getting at this moment, I don't think I'll be wrong if I say that these teams are the ones that's made the league more interesting and competitive, and currently every other club in the Saudi League is trying to emulate what they did by signing European players into their club.

Ittihad will have a tough one to beat Damac who haven’t had a bad game in last 5 outings. The win is auite important of Ittihad wants to send a signal that they’re back on track. A loss for Ittihad in this game will see them loosing out on quite some things and standings in the league.

Even though many teams in the Saudi Arabia League,this two teams was strongest opponent to other team in the league.Because of they have good players selection before the league begin,they also have selected the good experienced coaches to both the team.Not only the most of the players who had slots in this two team was experienced,but also the coaches was the reason.The matches for the Ittihad was not considered by the football fans of the community.Only few targeting the other matches results,other consideration of the final league results.Because many of us habit of watching the Final of the World Cup cricket and leaving other matches.

[Volgastallion]

Until now this season of the tournament is very divided by half, the top half of the tabble is for teams who spend a lot of money and have big stars coming from europe, and the bottom half, is for teams who doesnt expend so much money and are full of arabs players, and they seem only to be in the league to make number.

Damac FC can definitely win this match as their attacking department is very quick and Al Ittihad will try hard enough today with their strength to perform well.

Damac FC's performance was quite good in this match and they managed to score a quick goal through Koudou in the 12th minute so the match was quite fierce. Both teams played more openly in playing short and long passes, but I haven't seen good accuracy when both teams are in the opponent's penalty box. In the additional minutes of the first half, Hamdalah managed to equalize through a penalty, but unfortunately four minutes later Koudou scored another goal for Damac FC.

Al Ittihad needs a win so as not to be displaced by Al-Taawoun in fourth place in the standings because Al-Taawoun will face Al-Fayha. But unfortunately they are already one goal behind Damac FC, let's see in the second half whether Al Ittihad is able to score a goal or will concede again. Because if they lose this match then their position in the top four will be shifted to Al-Taawoun.

Based on current form in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal is my best team to win the league, because they are yet to lose any match and they keep dominating all their matches and they keep given Al Nassr who come close to them a good points gap to make them completely a wear that they are better than them and will fight to win the league.

If Ittihad doesn't succeed in stealing these points he will be even further behind.

Al Ittihad FC has conceded two goals in the first half of the game, whereas I expect them Al Ittihad to win the match without any problem, but it seems that the home team were well prepared for the ways to get goals in the match despite the fact that they are dominating the game, now they have conceded three goals which implies that they might lose the game to a Damac side that are seven points behind them before now.

Maybe what our friend @onecall123 meant in his post, was describing the last 15 matches that Al Hilal played without defeat. and of course, being invincible is unrealistic. because, it doesn't describe something real. In fact, there are still at least 19 matches that must be played by all the teams competing in this League.

Well, in football it doesn't mean that the team that has more control over ball possession can be said to perform better. In that match, Al Nassr had no more opportunities than Al Hilal, in fact they had a big chance. Al Hilal with 6 big chances, while Al Nassr only had 1 big chance. Likewise with missed opportunities, Al Hilal far more than Al Nassr.
In this situation, I try to speak neutrally without taking sides with either team. In football, there are patterns, tactics and strategies. Previously, I predicted that Al Nassr would have more control over the match and yeah that proved to be the case. However, there is a scenario that could have been intentional by the Al Hilal coach. It could be, if they let that scenario happen, to look for loopholes in the system implemented by Luis Castro. I can refer as I say based on statistical, although what I say does not confirm anything and is just a personal assumption.

Well, returning to the point I said above, this competition actually still has a lot of matches left. and, there are many possibilities that could happen in the next matches. This does not mean that Al Nassr has lost the opportunity to compete for the league trophy this season.

No doubt about that, having high ball possession can be worthless when there is no creativity to generate chances out of it. I agree with you. I only wanted to say that Al-Nassr wasn't inferior, but they lacked the ability on that day to get through the defense despite having Ronaldo in their team. Usually he is the guy who takes responsibility and tries something and having high ball possession is a good precondition for him to also create chances maybe for himself if possible.

It looks like Al Hilal might be assured of the trophy this season in the Saudi Pro League, because apart from being unbeaten so far and the fact that Al Hilal is also the team that has conceded the least so far. Also, the 7-point gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr is quite wide and therefore, I think it is feasible for Al Hilal to win the Saudi Pro League trophy this season. Also, about the ongoing match between Damac v Al Ittihad, I think Damac will be able to maintain the victory it has at the moment, because currently the score is 3-1. But yes, I don't understand how Al Ittihad seems to be the top team in the Saudi Pro League at the moment that is experiencing a bad decline in performance. Because previously Al Ittihad was still able to be consistent at the top of the standings because it was the defending champion too, but at this moment Al Ittihad seemed to lose all its best abilities.

I get your point about the Al Hilal vs. Al Nassr. This can be tedious, but lets talk Damac vs. Ittihad. I have high hopes for this game. Ittihad, despite their recent struggles, can rise if they play their cards well. Damac is no pushover, especially at home. Last few matches' undefeated streak speaks loudly. Ittihad have talented players who need to improve. Damac must be taken seriously. Exciting is certain. Im cheering for Ittihad, but Im worried Damac might surprise me. They've demonstrated they can compete with major teams, so this match is unpredictable.
