Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[bitgolden]

Ronaldo and Messi are both great and talented players in the history of football, they both create new history in every El-Classico match. Looking at Ronaldo's individual achievements, he is a player who has not been beaten by Messi in scoring goals and also his individual achievements while playing for a big team before playing in an Arab country. Ronaldo's record to this day continues to make many people still admire and respect what he does both on and off the field. Messi has also successfully lifted the world cup, which is also a good achievement, but overall Ronaldo's record still cannot be rivaled in various aspects in football and other events.

Both definitely feel like they are the greatest to ever play this game, we are so lucky to watch them when they were on their prime and their games against each other was always amazing to see as well.

I loved watching them beat each other too, it was never dominated by one side, both teams won and they had draws, they had calm games, and they had big fights, everything happened during that time. Both teams ended up winning UCL as well, which is awesome to see, obviously Real won more, but during Messi time it was a tie I think.

All in all I can say that it's a great feeling to see them play, but now they are old and they are both playing in leagues that are way below any European league and comparing them today makes no sense, they just gave up. Ronaldo technically didn't, if he played in some European club he could have, he just preferred money, and after 20 years of professional awesomeness, why wouldn't he, and Messi preferred destination, Miami, very nice place to retire.

Al-nassr vs Al-Ahli

Al-Nassr predicted lineup (4-2-3-1):
Bento (GK); Al Ghanam, Simakan, Laporte, Al Najdi; Otavio, Brozovic; Ghareeb, Talisca, Mane; Ronaldo

⁠Al-Ahli predicted lineup (4-2-3-1):
Mendy (GK); Majrashi, Demiral, Ibanez, Alhurayji; Aljohani, Kessie; Mahrez, Firmino, Alnabit; Toney

Wow this is going to be an excitement match tonight having Ivan Toney on the pitch against Ronaldo it will be very nice to watch, seriously this game is going to be tough, Ivan Toney is a player with much confident when playing and is the best player in the Brentford who normally rescued them in their game, I felt bad for Brentford because they will really means Ivan Toney and his replacement will take longer time to get, and again a big congratulations to ⁠Al-Ahli for have a nice and confident player like Ivan Toney, I assured them they will never regret buying him, so let see what he have for ⁠Al-Ahli tonight at Al-Nassr home.

Al-ahli continue to build their squad very well. They continue to collect good star players into their squad. And the results in the current match are quite clear that Al-ahli can make Al-nassr quite difficult with Al-ahli's attacks which are very fast. Now the first half is almost over and it looks like the score will remain 0-0 for this first half. Watching the Al-nassr vs Al-ahli match today is like watching a match at big European clubs. Well, this is quite the same sensation. Both clubs played very aggressively towards the end of the first half. And now the first round is over.

And I hope that in the second half Al-Nassr can score a goal and put the lead back on their side. Because I saw at the end of the first half the flow of the game started to turn around and put more pressure on the Al-Nassr defense area. And I think that can't happen again in the second half if Al-Nassr wants to win today's match.

Even though at first Al-Nassr appeared to be more pressing, at the end of the first half Al-Ahli started to turn things around and even almost scored a goal against Al-Nassr. Like Firminho's shot which fortunately was parried by Al-Nassr's new goalkeeper, Bento. Bento seems to be adapting more and more to Al-NASSR. He is increasingly reliable as the main goalkeeper currently at Al-nassr.

Al-ahli is building their squad continuously by making very good use of the transfer market. The presence of I. Toney in their squad also makes Al-ahli even more impossible to underestimate. Last season Al-ahli finished in 3rd place. And it could be that this season Al-ahli wants to get a better ranking. But if Al-ahli fails to beat Al-nassr today then I don't think Al-ahli is ready enough to fight for the title. Likewise, if Al-nassr loses to Al-ahli then Al-nassr will also be left behind by Al-hilal and this indicates that Al-nassr could also fail again this season. but it seems like many people expect Al-Nassr to win today's match. Well, actually, including me, I also favor Al-Nassr for this match.

[Pandorak]

I understand what you're saying, the thing is that this league also needs marketing, obviously CR7 and Neymar give a lot of marketing and that also matters, I personally know that people worldwide watch these leagues just to see these stars, the clearest example is Messi who raised the interest in watching the MLS, which for me the MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world, the level of football is very low, so having stars works, apart from that and an incentive is that unlike the MLS, the Saudi Leagues do pay their players very well and that is something that does weigh.

I think the recent movement of many European star players to the Saudi Pro League marks a significant shift in the global football landscape. This trend reflects the growing financial power and ambition of clubs in the Saudi League, which has attracted high-profile players with lucrative contracts and the promise of a new challenge in a different environment.

Players who moved to the Saudi League did not mean end their careers, such as CR7 and Ruben Neves who still exist to be called up to defend Portugal.

While some may argue that these players are leaving behind competitive European leagues for financial gain, it also highlights the expanding influence of football outside of Europe. The Saudi League’s investment in top talent is a clear indication of their desire to elevate the level of the game domestically and gain greater global recognition. This movement could potentially reshape the future of football, as more leagues outside Europe become competitive destinations for elite players. It will be interesting to see how this development impacts the global football landscape in the years to come.

But it could be just a temporary sensation like the previous China's League Euphoria, We never know what the future holds.

Well, actually, including me, I also favor Al-Nassr for this match.

Currently, Al-ahli has gained a 1 goal lead which they managed to get in the 57th minute. Like Al-ahli, they are increasingly growing into a strong team. And it looks like Al-nassr will be in big trouble if they don't equalize the score soon. Because time is running out and now the second half has entered the 65th minute. Which means there are only around 25 minutes left until the match ends. As hosts, Al-Nassr will definitely feel more burdened if they lose this match. Meanwhile, for Al-ahli, they will definitely continue to try to maintain their current advantage even though they have to become more defensive. Al-Nassr will fall further in the standings if they lose points in this match. And I think their dream of winning the title this season will also be even more difficult.

Al-Nassr 0 - 1 Al-Ahli 70'
That is not good so far for Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues after celebrating him for scoring 900 goals.
Al-Nassr players are trying to push and the opposite happens. There is still time to try to get a draw at least but after all losing two points will have a bad impact on the team in the ranking. Right now they are 8th with a possibility to lose few other ranks. The difference between them and Al-Hilal could be five points by the end of this round..

[tiCeR]

I am not entirely aware of the most recent head to head history between Al Nassr and Al Ahli, but if I am not mistaken here, I think Al Nassr has had problems beating Al Ahli for quite a while now is that correct? And again Al Ahli took the lead and Ronaldo can't get it done. But it's these games where the club actually wants and needs him to perform. Nobody cares when he scores five goals against a team from the bottom of the standings. Now is the time he should show his best. Mane is playing and Ronaldo can't complain about the quality of his team. I was expecting more from him, but still 20 minutes to go.

Yes previous meeting even Al Nassr beat Al Ahli at home with a score of 0-1. and now Al Ahli still leads with a score of 0-1 from Al Nassr.
Al Nassr actually got a lot of chances but they couldn't take advantage of them well. some passing mistakes were also made by Al Ahli's defenders. but still didn't create any meaningful chances for them.

But the final result was 1-1. the goal happened in the last minute. a little bit of disbelief with the extra time given quite long. and the goal happened at the last minute. something disappointing of course for AL Ahli.

The game ended 1-1 and Al Nassr has escape another loss thanks to an own goal from Alhurayji. I thought this was going to be another disappointing performances from Al Nassr and Ronaldo as he couldn't score as he always loves to do. Starting him is the mistake, we know he loves to play but he shouldn't be started at every game. He's just returning from the international break, he played lots of minutes there and should have been rested. If he had come on when the players were a little weaker, he would had put on a performance. He isn't as young as other although the league is below his quality but he's now old and should be used strategically.

It looks like all is not well for Cristiano Ronaldo as well as Al-Nassr in this game. After celebrating his 900th goal, one would think that they were on course to continue whatever positivity they had going but, alas, the reverse was true. A loss, even just a draw, would highly jeopardize their placement within the table. Unless they make a quick recovery, then the gap with Al-Hilal will widen... and that might pose them into difficulty competing right at the summit come end of season. There is still much time left in this game; however, they have to find some goals quickly if not ways of scoring and ensure that they do not pick a very important point from losing.

The remaining time will see Al-Nassr take every opportunity that presents itself to avoid going down. The chase will be at a very high rate of pressure to ensure catching up, more so when the standings soon are starting to be threatened.

It should have been a good start to Ivan Tooney's career in his number 99 shirt at Al Ahli, And he would have been okay with helping his team to get three points from this game against Al Nassr even though he cannot score. The last minute equalizer for Al Nassr from an own goal took away all the joy that would have followed. Al Ahli will not be so happy with how they have started this season with them having just three points in just three games despite the team of talented players that they have.
Al Nassr are far from the top of the table, they need to sit up.

Although Al Nassr team is the best team of this season, they performed very poorly in this match today, even though Cristiano Ronaldo was in the team, he was not able to score in this match today. Al-Ahly defenders easily controlled Cristiano Ronaldo's attack even though there was enough attack from Cristiano Ronaldo. That's why even after Cristiano Ronaldo performed for a long time, he was not enthusiastic enough in this match, in this match Al Nassr team targeted the goal post with 19 attacks, and Al Ahli team targeted six goal posts.

 Despite this gap, Al Nassr team scored a goal in the last minute to equalize the game. In this match today, the gamblers faced the biggest losses as almost every gambler placed a bet in favor of Al Nassr team.

Al Nassr were fortunate to avoid defeat as an Al Ahli player scored an own goal at the end of the match, just before the end of the match. Al Nassr seem to have failed to live up to expectations with their performance as it is. They played well, but it was not enough for them to be the best team in the Saudi Pro League. Their competitors have performed better than them, especially Al Hilal who are still undefeated.
I actually predicted this result, because even though they were playing as hosts, Al Ahli are not a team to be underestimated. A draw would have been a fair result for both teams in my opinion, although Al Nassr were also very fortunate to escape an embarrassing result in the

[tusandii]

Saudi League match week 3 will start today starting with the match:
Al Taawon vs Al Khaleej
Al Damac vs Al Okhdood

In today's match I bet on both with the options below:


I make Al Taawon the favorite to win because they have the advantage of playing as the home team in my opinion Al Taawon is better than Al Khaleej this club was just defeated by Al Shabab in its last match so I think Al Taawon will definitely beat Al Khaleej too.
For the Al Damac vs Al Okhdood match I prefer to bet over 1.5 and avoid betting on one of their wins, actually the bookies favor Al Damac but I am a little doubtful about this club because at the beginning of this season Al Damac has not won a match at all.

Did you miss 1 important match that was easy to predict? Al Nassr vs Al Ahli.
If you put Al Nassr into your parlay bet slip, it will definitely be very profitable because currently Al Nassr has very good odds of around @1.82. And if these odds are added to your bet slip, you will definitely get a total odds of @4.3. But unfortunately you missed the match.
I also have a question about whether you are really sure about Al Taawon victory? On the one hand, Al Khaleej actually has a performance that is almost equal to Al Taawon. I even bet on the match to choose BTTS.

Yes I missed it and I am lucky I did not put it in my bet slip because if I did it would have losess my bet because Al Nassr only managed a draw with Al Ahli in that match and to be honest I was hesitant to bet on Al Nassr because I knew their opponent was Al Ahli a club that cannot be underestimated, regarding betting odds which are lower than what you said I think odds @2.32 are not too bad they are good odds rather than the odds being too big but more risky to lose.

It is a shame if you choose the BTTS option in the Al Taawon match because Al Khaleej could not score in this match, the final result was 2:0 for Al Taawon's victory exactly as I predicted.

Although Al Nassr team is the best team of this season

They are not the best team in Saudi Professional League. It can be correct if you say they are one of best teams in this league.

they performed very poorly in this match today, even though Cristiano Ronaldo was in the team, he was not able to score in this match today. Al-Ahly defenders easily controlled Cristiano Ronaldo's attack even though there was enough attack from Cristiano Ronaldo. That's why even after Cristiano Ronaldo performed for a long time, he was not enthusiastic enough in this match, in this match Al Nassr team targeted the goal post with 19 attacks, and Al Ahli team targeted six goal posts.

Playing terribly against an opponent which is not too strong in Saudi Professional League, together with their bad results in previous matches including a direct clash with their biggest competitor in Saudi Arabia, Al-Hilal, are all not good performances that can help Al-Nassr to beat Al-Hilal in this season.

They want to take the trophy off from Al-Hilal but so far there is no good signal that they will be able to achieve it in this season. All signals so far are negatively and based in their quality and performances, I am very pessimistic about opportunity of Al-Nassr to flip Al-Hilal in Saudi Professional League.

Despite this gap, Al Nassr team scored a goal in the last minute to equalize the game. In this match today, the gamblers faced the biggest losses as almost every gambler placed a bet in favor of Al Nassr team.

Congratulate them for making it done this way, at least they don't lose one point but they will not be able to do it in every match. Additionally, other opponents might be stronger than Al-Ahly and will be able to secure their advantage and beat Al-Nassr to have full three points at the final whistle.

This match ended in a draw. Al Nasr's equalizing goal was achieved through an Al Nasr player's kick which hit the leg of one of Al Ahli's players, so that the direction of the ball was not read by the Al Ahli goalkeeper, resulting in a goal. Honestly, it's a shame that Al Nasr couldn't take advantage of every opportunity he had in this match. The reason is that Al Nasr players created many opportunities in that match. However, the protection of Al Ahli's defenders deserves a thumbs up in this match. The reason is that the Al Nasr players really had difficulty penetrating Al Ahli's defense in this match.
So with this draw, Al Nasr has now dropped its ranking to 6th position and has a 1 point difference with Al Hilal. Maybe the difference in points will increase if, for example, Al Hilal can win the match they will play against Al Riyadh.

Apart from that, I am sure that this season Al Nasr will again have difficulty becoming champions in the SPL. Because I see that Al Nasr's performance has not improved this season. In fact, I see that Al Nasr is experiencing a slight decline in performance at the moment. So who knows what will happen to Al Nasr this season, I think it would be a miracle if for example Al Nasr could finish in 2nd place again like in the previous season. Because currently it is not only Al Hilal that will be a strong rival for Al Nasr. But teams like Al Qadisiyah, Al Ittihad, and also Al Taawon will also be teams that will be difficult rivals for Al Nasr. Because currently the performance of these teams can be said to be very good.

The game ended 1-1 and Al Nassr has escape another loss thanks to an own goal from Alhurayji. I thought this was going to be another disappointing performances from Al Nassr and Ronaldo as he couldn't score as he always loves to do. Starting him is the mistake, we know he loves to play but he shouldn't be started at every game. He's just returning from the international break, he played lots of minutes there and should have been rested. If he had come on when the players were a little weaker, he would had put on a performance. He isn't as young as other although the league is below his quality but he's now old and should be used strategically.

Since the first half started, the match has shown the ambition from of both teams to be able to score goals in the match, so it can be seen that both teams played with high intensity in the first half but both teams actually experienced difficulty in scoring goals because of the solid defense  from their, minute 57  was the start of a nightmare for Al Nassr, who was previously the favorite in the match, the former AC Milan player was able to take advantage of the opportunity to score his first goal of the season, an own goal created before the end of the match saved Al Nassr after all the opportunities they had created were in vain.
The draw result obtained by Al Nassr yesterday made Al Nassr move away from Al Hillal as their main rival so far, 1 win and 2 draws from the 3 matches that have been played is of course not a good start for Al Nassr especially now that Al Hillal has not playing their 3rd match, so that if Al Hillal is able to win over Al Riyadh then the difference in points between the two teams has now reached 4 points and it will clearly be difficult for Al Nassr to catch up.

Al Nassr were fortunate to avoid defeat as an Al Ahli player scored an own goal at the end of the match, just before the end of the match. Al Nassr seem to have failed to live up to expectations with their performance as it is. They played well, but it was not enough for them to be the best team in the Saudi Pro League. Their competitors have performed better than them, especially Al Hilal who are still undefeated.
I actually predicted this result, because even though they were playing as hosts, Al Ahli are not a team to be underestimated. A draw would have been a fair result for both teams in my opinion, although Al Nassr were also very fortunate to escape an embarrassing result in the

It was truly a lucky day for Al-Nassr they were saved by that goal, I can't imagine if Al-Nassr were defeated at home of course it's very embarrassing. I wonder what happened to Al-Nassr and why their game is not aggressive? they dominated the game but always struggled to score goals of 19 shots only 4 on target it means the accuracy is very weak even though we know they are playing the main squad which has more experience, or can we say that the current coach is not using the right strategy?

If they continue to play like this then there is no way for Al-Nassr to compete with Al-Hilal instead of trying to win the title even for the top 3 is doubtful, I hope Al-Nassr can improve their performance so we can see a fierce competition in the standings, of course it would be very boring to see the league dominated by just one club. Al-Hilal will play their 3rd match today against Al-Riyadh there should be no problem for Al-Hilal even though they are away they can get 3 points.

[Hirose UK]

Actually, the match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli is not an easy match because basically Al Ahli can make Al Nassr overwhelmed and make it difficult to win, I agree that with the absence of several core players like Ronaldo, there might be chance for Al Ahli to hold draw and share points.

I don't know the line-up of both teams yet, whether on Al Nassr or Al-Ahli's side. Moreover, regarding Ronaldo being able to play or not, in Al-Ahli's camp I also don't know whether Matthias Jaissle will play Ivan Toney as a starter. This is interesting, at least Al-Ahli can provide fierce resistance because they have newcomers. Not only Toney, but they also brought in midfielders. Although based on the betting exchange Al Nassr is more favored, but it feels like this match will be tough. That is if Matthias Jaissle immediately plays his newcomer, because I am quite sure that Ivan Toney is able to adapt immediately to his teammates at Al-Ahli. It's only a matter of days before these two teams meet, but Al Nassr still has the advantage of playing at home and has a much more competitive team.

Match took place today and we can see that Al Nassr has been able to include Ronaldo in their line-up and Ivan Toney has also been included in the Al Ahli squad.
But in the end the game ended in 1 - 1 draw and Al Nassr has been able to dominate the game and they were able to dominate the attack, unfortunately all of these efforts failed to produce results for Al Nassr to gain an advantage and win.
In this match I paid enough attention to how Al Ahli defense was quite good, on the other hand they have Edouard Mendy who was able to show some saves, I was quite surprised and amazed by Al Ahli back game.
They shared the points and it was not disadvantage for Al Nassr because they did not lose points and were not far behind at the start of the season like this.

[bitgolden]

Definitely was a close game, Al Nassr got lucky with a last minute goal and a very lucky one at that as well.

In the end, Ronaldo got away with a draw but the fact that Al Nassr keeps getting away with these is not normal, I feel like it is not looking that great for them neither, we are talking about a situation where Ronaldo was put on that team, and they also got Mane but then they didn't get much else, they should look for better players than who they have if they want to win the league eventually.

Ronaldo didn't do much, as per usual on big games he is not scoring goals, I am sure when they face league last on the table team he will score 4 goals and tally up some more goals, he was a super star, maybe the best for a while but his Arabic period is not looking good to me I am sorry, he should be able to score against these teams if he is still so good.
