Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Uruhara]

I dont know if Al Nassr needs more player, why? They have super players and they only need to start to play better as a team, nothing more and nothing less. You can buy more players and that cant garantize so much.

I think Al-Nassr already has quite a lot of high quality players. And maybe the problem lies with their previous coach, Luis Castro, who didn't really get along with Al-Nassr because Castro didn't seem able to utilize the depth of Al-Nassr's squad well enough.

Now Al-Nassr is starting to look better after a change of coach occurred there. The former AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, has successfully made his debut with Al-Nassr very well. So far Al-Nassr have had consecutive wins after Pioli came to this club. So I started to see that the problems experienced by Al-Nassr might have found the best solution, namely by bringing in a coach who was more suited to the depth of the Al-Nassr squad. And actually I never expected to see a great coach like Pioli at Al-Nassr. And that is good news for those of us who also follow the SPL.

[hahay]

FYI, it is the second match of Al Nassr under Pioli's management. So far, Pioli already won 2 matches in 2 matches, means he always wins every match with Al Nassr. However, I think it is still too early to claim Pioli has made a change on Al Nassr team. Pioli still didn't face strong teams, just wait for the match Al Nassr vs Al Hilal in matchday 9. If Al Nassr can get points in this match, we can claim that there is a chance in Al Nassr team under Pioli's management.

Two matches have not proven anything because there are still many other crucial matches that Pioli needs to prove, but so far the two matches that have taken place at least he has given his best for the team. The match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be proof of how far Pioli is able to make changes in his team and victory will be something that is expected as a step to build a more solid team.

It will be quite an emotional match for both teams and very important because it is a matter of prestige. I think he needs to win the match if he wants to give something better to the team, especially for the title issue which is a priority for all teams.

I think, the match against Al Ettifaq before is also still one of the difficult matches, and Pioli managed to make Al Nassr win and also with a big score in his first match. Because anyway, Al Ettifaq at the beginning of this season also had good results, and Al Ettifaq also has a coach and players who cannot be underestimated, so I think Pioli has had a good start. But indeed, I also agree about the match against Al Hilal is a difficult match,  because so far Al Nassr may always fail when playing against Al Hilal in the Ronaldo era. But with that said, at least there is still enough time for Pioli to prepare Al Nassr to be better and stronger to face Al Hilal later, of course, it must have a target of winning against Al Hilal to make Al Nassr have a good chance of winning the trophy.

Correct. It is too early to conclude that Pioli succeeds to improve Al Nassr. But it is a good sign that Pioli can lead Al Nassr properly. Winning in 2 early matches is always crucial, it can boost the spirit and motivation of all players. I'm very sure Al Nassr players become more optimistic to play, they look more comfortable with Pioli's strategy.

If Pioli can win against Al Hilal, I no doubt that Al Nassr will return to the race of the champion. Now, they in the 5th place, the point gap with Al Hilal is quite large. It is difficult to overtake Al Hilal if Al Nassr fails to get full points again. But if Al Hilal can't get the points, it is the chance to shorten the point gap.

It will be quite an emotional match for both teams and very important because it is a matter of prestige. I think he needs to win the match if he wants to give something better to the team, especially for the title issue which is a priority for all teams.

The match will be held in Al Nassr home. Al Nassr must win the match for the prestige and for the chance of winning the trophy. A draw should be the target because it doesn't bring any good impact for Al Nassr. In this time, it is a must to beat Al Hilal if Al Nassr still has a dream to win SPL trophy.

Pioli might have done well for Al Nassr but I think the result is still below expectations because they have the quality of players needed to win the KSA league but they always fail at doing that. For several matches, they have failed to win Al Hilal and still lacking in consistency as well. The season might be young but judging from last season, the patter and sequence of play still persist. I still do not believe they will beat Al Hilal when they meet because I am not seeing anything special that they are playing.

A draw should be the target because it doesn't bring any good impact for Al Nassr. In this time, it is a must to beat Al Hilal if Al Nassr still has a dream to win SPL trophy.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr only have difference of 4 points and it is still very possible for Al Nassr to catch up to match and surpass Al Hilal in the future, but if in the future Al Hilal is undefeated and the worst result with several draws to share points then that is still success because Al Nassr will not be able to catch up.
But the chance for Al Hilal not to lose also has fairly small percentage and I sure there must be some unexpected results where Al Hilal loses because the increase and decrease in the performance of each team cannot be really predicted with certainty.
What is clear is that I want to see Al Nassr be able to achieve more wins and minimize the occurrence of defeats, they must be able to save points from each match even if it is only 1 point because of draw, that way Al Nassr will never be left behind by large point difference.
In tomorrow match I sure Al Nassr will still be able to win against Al Wehda by utilizing all the advantages they have.

Actually Al Nassr is a team that is rich enough to bring in quality players and in fact they also have quality players in their current squad, but overall the game still has many shortcomings that they have so this slightly hampers their development in pursuing achievements in the Saudi Pro League or in other competitions. What is in the spotlight is the performance of their defense line, yes they still have many weaknesses in that position.
somehow they seem to be late to fix all that, even though I think they are very aware that they still have some weaknesses in the defense line. There must be a definite step that they take, either from signing new players or rotating players in the current squad.

[irhact]

Finally, Pioli started working in Al Nassr and he made a good change in this team. Al Nassr has always played with Ronaldo in this team since he started working there and this made us worried about this team because we thought Al Nassr could not have good performance anymore without Ronaldo in this team.
Now in the game against Al Hazem, Pioli didn't use Ronaldo and he decided to give him a rest and still, they won the game with a 2-1 result.

That was a narrow win and not a confident win, the both goals from Al Nassr was scored in extra time. The first goal came in the extra time for the first half and the second goal came in the extra time of the second half but it is good that the coach tried playing without Ronaldo and gave him a rest as he needs it. Ronaldo can not be playing every match or he won't be able to perform in all the matches as he's no longer a young player. Any coach that knows how to manage old players will get the best out of them and it looks like that's what is going to be happening as Ronaldo gets rested more in games that isn't the league games to regain his strength and score in league games.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

At least these 2 matches with wins give a little spirit and confidence to the players after having a new coach. Not too sure if Pioli needs a quick time to bring Al Nassr to a higher level but seeing his contribution makes me a little sure that Pioli is able to provide improvements. The match will start in the coming month and we can still see how much improvement the coach has given. Don't expect too much when playing against Al Hilal or just a draw is enough to give good results for Al Nassr.

The style of play in the Saudi Arabian league is not as competitive as Europe so it will be much easier for Pioli to improve the performance of his players to be better. Need to maximize some of the existing players so that he can give something much better to the team. Pioli is also experienced as a coach and I am optimistic that he can bring Al Nassr to become one of the title contenders and some of the players he has are also quite experienced.

There is still a lot of time to prepare for the match and facing Al Hilal is indeed not an easy matter because the rivalry between the two is quite big. But if Pioli can give something different then I am sure he can get three points in the match.

[tygeade]

At least now we can hope that the presence of Stefano Pioli as the new coach at Al-Nassr can make Al-Nassr a more solid team than before. I believe Stefano Pioli is a great coach who can utilize the players Al-Nassr has who are actually no less qualified than Al-Hilal. Now it just remains how the coach utilizes the depth of the squad. And with a debut with good results, I think Stefano Pioli will be able to continue these good results throughout this season.

Tomorrow Al-Nassr will face Al Wahda and hopefully it will be another victory for Al-Nassr.

Pioli wasn't a great manager at Milan and I think it shouldn't really be that crazy to think about at all, it is something that Saudi teams are doing quite famously and I do not think that they should do it. A manager who has done badly and fired by some team, gets a job here and people expect him to do great here, I get hat Milan and Al Nassr isn't that same and Al Nassr is a lot worse and that is why we are not seeing anyone be mad that Pioli was brought in, but I do not think that they are doing as well as Hilal and Jesus.

I guess that we are going to see this team not change that much and we are not going to see it become something big. It has to be something that will probably keep it same. I believe Hilal will be first and Nasr will be second yet again.

[tusandii]

That team is top of the tournament and they deserve win and they deserve to win the title. Their players are very hard working and they always did well for their teams and their pass were good and  they did 3 goals in this match. Mitrović did 2 goals in this match and he exert pressure on Al-Ittihad Club when he did 2 goals in 14 minutes of the match and he did second goal on penalty and he was match winner of this match because Al-Ittihad Club score was only 1 goal and that was done by Benzema and he did his goal at 86 minutes after starting the match . Al-Dawsari did 3rd goal of the match at 37 minutes, almost match was close to win when Al Hilal team did 3 goals at 37 minutes .

Al Hilal is still very difficult to beat even though the opponent they face is Al Ittihad who has recently performed well but Al Hilal is still able to match Al Ittihad's game and make their opponent unable to move, Al Hilal's attacks cannot be stopped they play more dominantly to put pressure on their opponents and try hard to win the match just like they did when facing Al Nassr.

Now Al Hilal leads the standings with the most points, when this club is at the top it will be difficult for the clubs below it to shift their position from the top unless Al Hilal loses in the next 2 matches.

Al Hilal is a team that is always at the top of the standings at the beginning of each season while Al Ittihad is also one of the best teams in the Arab League both of them display quite interesting games with ball possession controlled by Al Ittihad. There were several mistakes made by Al Ittihad players so that they conceded and Al Hilal players continued to attack until the 2nd half ended with a big win for them.

Currently, Al Hilal is at the top of the standings with the most points for the time being, the match is not over yet, Al Hilal is able to maintain the standings until they become champions this season, Al Nassr is also a team that is difficult to beat this season.

Al-Nassr club has good quality players and with these players it is definitely possible to be in the best position in the Saudi League. However, this club has always been behind Al Hilal due to some wrong decisions of the manager in several seasons, but there are indications that Al-Nassr will compete hard with Al Hilal this season. 

Al Hilal has collected 12 points from the first 4 matches while Al-Nassr has collected 8 points from the first four matches so far. Al Hilal won all the matches while Al Nach won two matches and drew two matches. With most of the season ahead of them, if Al-Nassr pays more attention to every game and tries to play more aggressively, maybe the points gap they have with Al Hilal will be closed very easily.

First Pioli has a better coach CV than Castro and second he had a good debut with Al-Nassr. It's good start for him and Al-Nassr can hope that Pioli will bring more positive changes to the club. They actually saw potential of Pioli to help their club breaking the crisis and improving their performances to compete better against a very strong club in Saudi Professional League, Al-Hilal.

Al-Nassr in two latest seasons don't have problems with attacking but they had big problems in defense that will be a main focus of Pioli in coming months. They need to help Al-Nassr to improve defense, and if he fails the club will fail in a title competition with Al-Hilal again.

Upcoming matches.

Al Nassr vs Al Wahda.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr currently looks more likely to compete with strong teams in the SPL after Pioli joined Al Nassr.
I have a temporary prediction that betting on Al Nassr victory is very profitable by choosing Al Nassr over 3.5 with odds @2.15.

Stefano Pioli was appointed on the 18th of September, and since then, Al Nassr has played just two games. They won an away game against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Professional League and defeated Al-Hazm in the King Cup of Champions. The Italian tactician has the experience and skills to keep winning but it is too early to conclude that he is the solution to the club's past poor performance. The general performance has improved, and it showed in their ball possession. They controlled these two games and even had more shots on target. I am glad Ronaldo and Mane have all scored this season. With the improved performance, I can also bet on them because winning two straight games shows that there is an improvement.

[Gallar]

Al Hilal is still very difficult to beat even though the opponent they face is Al Ittihad who has recently performed well but Al Hilal is still able to match Al Ittihad's game and make their opponent unable to move, Al Hilal's attacks cannot be stopped they play more dominantly to put pressure on their opponents and try hard to win the match just like they did when facing Al Nassr.

Now Al Hilal leads the standings with the most points, when this club is at the top it will be difficult for the clubs below it to shift their position from the top unless Al Hilal loses in the next 2 matches.

In the match against Al Ittihad, Al Hilal was not only able to match him, but Al Hilal really made Al Ittihad helpless. The reason is that in this match Al Hilal was able to win the match with a fairly landslide score, namely 3-1. So with this we can conclude that this season Al Hilal is still the strongest team in the Saudi Arabian League. Because the proof is that currently Al Hilal looks like it will again record the same record as the previous season, namely continuing to win without losing. Maybe the only team that can hinder Al Hilal at the moment is Al Nasr, and that is still only a possibility. The reason is that currently Al Nasr is handled by a great coach (Pioli), and he was able to win his last 2 matches well. However, even so, Al Nasr will still have difficulty winning over Al Hilal. Because Al Hilal really has the right composition in every line, has a really great coach too, and Al Hilal already has very strong chemistry between its players. So even though Al Nasr has many star players at the moment, it looks like it will still be a little difficult to keep up with Al Hilal's game. But even so, nothing is impossible in the world of football. So even though the possibility that Al Nasr can beat Al Hilal is not very big, in essence Al Nasr still has hope. And yes, currently Al Hilal is leading the standings again in the Saudi Arabian league. Apart from that, it is true, to be able to shift Al Hilal's current position, a minimum of two losses to Al Hilal are needed. But in my opinion this is still a little difficult to happen at the moment.

Al Wahda must have a hard time facing Al Nassr. They are not good enough at the moment. Even when they met Al Ittihad they had to lose 7-1. While the last meeting with Al Nassr they lost 7-0. Clearly a bad result for Al Wahda.
Pioli's arrival seems to give a better spirit. At least to catch up on the current points I think Ronaldo and the team can do it.
I'm not so sure about the bet on this match. But maybe Al Wahda can also score in the next match.

[ndutndut]

Pioli might have done well for Al Nassr but I think the result is still below expectations because they have the quality of players needed to win the KSA league but they always fail at doing that. For several matches, they have failed to win Al Hilal and still lacking in consistency as well. The season might be young but judging from last season, the patter and sequence of play still persist. I still do not believe they will beat Al Hilal when they meet because I am not seeing anything special that they are playing.

But at least so far Pioli's arrival has had a big impact on Al Nassr, by recording two wins that became a big motivation for the club that previously only recorded one win from three early season matches. Pioli's arrival not only restored the players' confidence, but also showed Al Nassr's potential this season to compete for the SPL trophy quite big. Far from reasonable expectations because he has only played a few times with Al Nassr, we'll just see in the future how he will make Al Nassr consistent and of course be able to beat Al Hilal as the defending champion.

But what is certain is that Al Nassr still needs strong defenders and midfielders because so far Al Nassr's weaknesses have been in the defensive line and attacking midfielders to build more creative attacks. I think if Pioli is given the freedom to bring in some players, Al Nassr will be champions this season.

Pioli can be said to be successful so far because in a short time, Pioli has succeeded in building good relationships with the players and Pioli's presence also provides an injection of enthusiasm to the entire team, maybe this will continue in the following matches.

[Ahli38]

Al-Nassr in two latest seasons don't have problems with attacking but they had big problems in defense that will be a main focus of Pioli in coming months. They need to help Al-Nassr to improve defense, and if he fails the club will fail in a title competition with Al-Hilal again.

It is true that this is Al-Nassr's main problem in the past few seasons. Their not so strong defense always makes Al-Nassr almost concede in every match. So the task of the attack line always becomes much harder. because they also have to compensate by scoring more goals.

But in Al-Nassr's match against Al-Ettifaq, it seems like we saw quite a rapid improvement in Al-Nassr's back line. Because for the first time this season in the SPL we saw Al-Nassr end the match without conceding a ball into their goal. And Al-Nassr even won with an extraordinary score of 0-3. Al-Ettifaq, which is also a strong club, turned out to lose by a fairly large score. And I think Pioli can really bring Al-Nassr to better results this season. Al-Nassr's defense level will also be better.

I'm not so sure about the bet on this match. But maybe Al Wahda can also score in the next match.

In this match, we got to see a lot of strength and more goals from Al-Nasr side.  And their players have not allowed Al Wahda's players to score a single goal.  The reason for this is Al Nasr's performance which is making them strong be it SPL or Saudi League.  Moreover, in this league, more bets are placed on Al-Nasr and a lot of profit is taken from it.  Because Rolando, who is the player of this team, has made every team player stronger.  Al-Nasr has scored 6 goals in this match and the strength of their players can be estimated from this match.  Yes, you are right and it has been proven that they should have played stronger than hard work and victory, but they could not succeed in this. Due to which they lost by 6 goals.  Yes, but for that they have to work hard and fast.
