Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Solokan]

Al Ahli made impressive efforts.  I expected the match to be tough from both sides because there are matches is always challenging, but Al Qadsiah ended up conceding many goals, which seems terrible, but that is how football is sometimes. Al Ahli performed much better than them, which led to their success. Frank Kessié who has played in the European league for several years, keeps on doing well and currently he's still regarded as one of the best midfielders in Al Ahli. Frank Kessié scored brace today he always made a big impression in the midfield.

In that match, I thought the score between Al Ahli and Ittihad wouldn't be that far apart, but Ittihad effectively broke through Al Qadisiyah's defense, and we now know that Al Ahli is stronger than Al Qadisiyah.

Al Ahli must now prepare for the final against Al Nassr. Al Nassr will certainly be preparing for their upcoming match against Al Ahli. Jorge Jesus has undoubtedly already identified the strengths and weaknesses of Al Ahli's players, so he will have a strategy in place to make it difficult for Al Ahli to win. The Al Ahli coach has undoubtedly seen Al Nassr's impressive performance against Ittihad, and the Al Ahli coach has also identified Al Nassr's strengths and weaknesses. He will undoubtedly be preparing his best strategy for the final. I'd like to know your opinion on who will win the final between Al Nassr and Al Ahli. In my opinion, Al Nassr will win and I am sure Jorge Jesus will also be able to make the best strategy and I will bet on Al Nassr's victory and I am sure Al Nassr will have great potential to become champions in the Saudi Super Cup.

It was a thrilling match to watch Al Qadisiyah vs. Al Ahli. It was a highly entertaining encounter, as both teams were eager to win, hoping to secure a place in the final and face Al Nassr. Al Qadisiyah, of course, now had to admit that Al Ahli was stronger than them. Al Ahli had just scored five goals against them, one of which was an own goal from Nacho, giving Al Ahli a five-goal lead. Honestly, I didn't expect a 1-5 victory for Al Ahli.

I would say it was a completely one - sided match. Al qadisiyah players did not get any chance in this match. Although Al qadisiyah scored the first goal of the match. But Al Qadisiyah fell behind 4- 1 in the first half. Al Qadisiyah lost because of Bonsu Baah's red card or Nacho's own goal, the things is not like that . Bonsu Baah got the red card in the 42nd minute. Al Ahli had already taken a 3-1 lead. And Nacho's own goal was in the second half. Al Ahli and Al Nassr are going to face each other in the final of the Saudi Super Cup. I am looking forward to a fiercely competitive match. Both have strong squads and both are in good form.

[Luzin]

I may be late, but I want to praise Ronaldo for his performance in the Saudi Super Cup semifinal. I noticed that he was very wise in passing the ball to Felix, which led to An Nasr's first goal. I think he could have been selfish and shot the ball himself, but he chose to pass it instead, and it resulted in a goal. I think his decision was the right one. If he had been selfish and failed to score, he would have been criticized. On the other hand, it seems like Ronaldo really boosted Felix's confidence by helping him score. I think Ronaldo also played a role in Felix's transfer.

The final does look competitive, bookmakers are pricing it as follows:

2.40 - 3.93 - 2.74

A rare case where Al Nasr is the favorite. The estimation looks fair considering how Al Nasr has strengthened before this season, and it may even make sense to make a cash bet, perhaps there is value here. In the end, Ronaldo is heavily criticized for the fact that he has few titles with Al Nasr, he will try not to miss this opportunity.

Yes, that's right. Ronaldo's unselfish assist to Joao Felix was very wise. Not only did it avoid a mistake, but Ronaldo also managed to provide Felix with his first goal, which was very important to him. The beginning of the match was quite tense and resulted in a dramatic 1-1 draw until the end of the first half. The second half turned out to be the highlight of the match, as Ronaldo created an opportunity to score a goal, but his wisdom led him to decide to provide an assist to Joao Felix. In fact, Ronaldo could have scored the goal selfishly, but what happened was a display of Ronaldo's intelligence combined with his extensive experience in football, which made him act wisely. As a result, Al Nassr has successfully advanced to the final on August 23, where they will face Al Ahli in the final, who defeated Al Qadsiah and followed Al Nassr, so they will compete in the final. This will be a very tense and dramatic match between Al Nassr and Al Ahli. On Al Nassr's side, many will be hoping for a strong performance from Ronaldo as on of the team's star player, while on Al Ahli's side, people may also be expecting a good performance from Franck Kessie.

[aylabadia05]

The 4-4-1-1 definitely seems to be working, Ronaldo doesn't like a second striker next to him, which they had for a while since Talisca left. Now they know what they are doing and get someone who is like a advance forward type of thing where Felix plays. That is why the problem is looking like gone at the moment and they could be doing much better at the time and we should be expecting them to do a lot better and could get a greater result.

A 4-2-3-1 formation is also suitable if Ronaldo isn't particularly interested in a second striker alongside him. In a 4-4-1-1 formation, Mane and Coman also play on the left and right flanks, but not as the main strikers, given Ronaldo's dominance in those positions, as in Al Nassr's last two matches.
I see Coman, Mane, and Felix as players Ronaldo prefers as his partners, making it easier for him to score.
It was a beautiful sight in the Super Cup semifinal when Ronaldo provided an assist to Felix even though Ronaldo was only one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

The final against Al Ahli, with Al Ahli's 5-1 victory over Al Qadasiya, was a good final that would make for a great and balanced match.

Joe Felix is a Portuguese star and Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese star so it is natural that these two will have a good understanding. Al-Nassr has brought this Portuguese star to the team to have a good understanding with Ronaldo. The chemistry between these two was great in the semi-final match of the Arab Super Cup and seeing the performance in the semi-final match, the management must have thought that their deal was 100% successful. Al-Nassr is performing well so far so we can put Al-Nassr ahead of the other finalists in the final match of the Arab Cup. I want them to win the Arab Cup final as well as the upcoming local league title, Al-Nassr and Ronaldo to be successful in all kinds of tournaments. Maybe the happiest thing for Ronaldo fans would be if Ronaldo could win the World Cup for Portugal.

The final against Al Ahli, with Al Ahli's 5-1 victory over Al Qadasiya, was a good final that would make for a great and balanced match.

And perhaps an even more beautiful sight will be when Al Nassr meets Al Ahli in the Super Cup final. Because that will be a testament to what Ronaldo's teammates must do to win and lift the trophy before the new Saudi Arabian League season resumes. I also see that the 4-4-1-1 formation is quite suitable for the Al Nassr team, however, if the opponent is tougher, the Al Nassr team might use another formation that will not burden their own players because the ultimate goal of each formation is to be able to give their best performance in every match.

Saudi soccer season is already started as Super Cup games enter into final where Al Nassr is going to entertain Al Ahli after winning their games Al Nassr beats Al Ittihad and Al Ahli beats Al Qadisiya.

This season start is going to be better for Al Nassr because after their start now look like they can win trophies which were looking never been near to them few good changes are going to have their impact on team performance just because of this first match ended into their favour. Al Ahli is also looking impressive as their squad is balanced which can ruin any defense in their first game they score 5 goals thanks to Kessie F. who score two goals and Toney 1 goal Hong Kong stadium is going to be had the good number of fans for final of Saudi Super Cup.

That is why the problem is looking like gone at the moment and they could be doing much better at the time and we should be expecting them to do a lot better and could get a greater result.

We can't really expect them to be champions right away, there are still so many things to handle and we have so many games, plus anyone can get injured and that would be very important. This is why I think we shouldn't really expect it to be that weird. I think it would be possible for them to still lose, we have to wait and see.

This season, Al Nassr will appear different from last season, with both their strategy and motivation clearly different. Furthermore, Felix's arrival has made Al Nassr's attacks difficult for opponents to contain. Watching Al Nassr's victory over Al Ittihad clearly demonstrates their improved defense and offense.

In the match against Al Ittihad, they lost a player at the beginning of the first half, precisely in the 25th minute, but they managed to secure this victory, which is certainly an extraordinary achievement for Al Nassr for the changes that have been made at this time. The final will be against Al Ahli, a tough opponent, but if they can maintain this form and maintain this formation, they will win the competition and even have a chance to win the SPL trophy this season.

I was also impressed by the improvement in the performance of Joao Felix. He was a threat to Al Ittihad's defence and even got a goal disallowed. Cristiano Ronaldo has proved again that he is one of the best players in the world. The assist he gave to his countryman is commendable. The most important thing now is that Al Nassr has made it to the Saudi Super Cup. It is becoming clear that Felix took the right decision to move to the Gulf League because he looks determined to rejuvenate his career.

Al Ahli made impressive efforts.  I expected the match to be tough from both sides because there are matches is always challenging, but Al Qadsiah ended up conceding many goals, which seems terrible, but that is how football is sometimes. Al Ahli performed much better than them, which led to their success. Frank Kessié who has played in the European league for several years, keeps on doing well and currently he's still regarded as one of the best midfielders in Al Ahli. Frank Kessié scored brace today he always made a big impression in the midfield.

We all expected to see a more competitive result but Al Qadisiya couldn't live up to our expectations but I know they still did their best it wasn't just enough.
Football is unpredictable sometimes, and that's just how it is and what makes it an interesting game. Al Qadisiya had a fair pre season games and I thought they could take on Al Ahli but they are just not there yet or maybe Al Ahli has now gone ahead of them. They did well to reach the Semi Final but seems Al Ahli now has their eyes on the trophy.

It's now a final of Al Nassr vs Al Ahli. Will be a very interesting game but the favorite to win it is still unpredictable as both teams are doing well now. It will not be an easy game at all but I will love to see Ronaldo win a major trophy for Al Nassr so my support is with Al Nassr.

I'm super impressed with him but a lot of his fans didn't approve of the decision as they are suggesting he goes for the goal himself so he can reach 1000 goal mark as fast as possible. I think it was a good decision to take Joao Felix along.

In the semi final yesterday Al Ahli beat Al Qadsiah 5-1 to play the final. They had 4-1 advantage at half time. One own goal in the second half gave Al Ahli the win. Al Nassr and Al Ahli will meet on Saturday in the Super Cup final. Hong Kong fans will watch Cristiano and Felix attack Al Ahli defenders.

[ITExpert]

Al Nassr defeated Al Ittihad 2-1 in the Super Cup final, where they were down to 10 men, and advanced to the final. Al Ahli will likely face Al Ahli in the final, as I believe Al Ahli will easily defeat Al Qadsiah.
Felix scored on his debut for Al Nassr. Joao Felix was signed with high hopes but hasn't been successful since then. He had a great start at Al Nassr, and we'll see if he continues to excel.

The very first thing is that the Al-Nassr is deserving of a deep congratulations as they got success and defeated the Al-ittihad. We can easily see the things which Al-Nassr got changed and their positive results in return. They definitely gave their best performance . And they also proved how much potential their decisions contain. Joao Felix is perfectly appropriate in the team and he gives the performance by all his skills. This thing is also very understandable that the player is perfect for the Saudi pro league. Maybe at the time of the decision it looks wrong but the time proves it was the good decision for the team and the fans. Because beating the team who were the winner of the last season was really an impressive milestone.

[Dump3er]

Joao Felix showed his magic this game and then he won't show his magic next game. Maybe he will show it in a few weeks again. That was his habit, the problem that made him dispensable and Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Barcelona all quickly became tired of his unstable performances. You never know what you get from him and in the SPL this is maybe not a big problem because it isn't as palpable, but in all those other leagues those unstable performances can cost the teams the game. He can't do too much damage to Al Nassr, good he is there now.

Joao Felix is an exceptional player, one of luckiest player to play in top team in Europe because of his ability. He is a team player, and a creative midfielder, i will always play him in my team if i was a coach. He might not have the stamina to play 90 minutes but he will also make an impact on the field.  If watch him Chelsea he did well, in Premier league if you do not have the stamina you can not play well.

His move to Saudi Arabia was influenced by Ronaldo, because he want him to be fit for the world cup in 2026, and he is adapting fast in the Alnassr. from the pre season games, he was the man to watch. If he continue in this form, Alnassr will win the title this season, they defeated the league title defending champion yesterday with 10 men. Felix scored brace put one goal was ruled out because of Ronaldo  build up foul.

This is a long way to go for Joao Felix to take a place in the national team from someone else who is probably playing for one of the best teams in Europe.

The circumstances for Ronaldo are special, not everyone who plays well in the Saudi Professional League would get a spot in the Portugal national team. But there is a reason that Ronaldo receives special treatment and when you say Joao Felix is an exceptional player, what are you referring to? He couldn't prevail in any of the clubs he played for. Atletico, Chelsea, Barcelona, they all wanted to get rid of him. You could call him an exceptional talent that never became an exceptional player. If you call him that, what would you call really exceptional players like Yamal or Raphinha or Haaland or all the others who play well every week?

He was overpaid and far too expensive for what he has returned to the teams he played for.

[Phoenix Anka]

Al Ahli, as expected, made it to the final. They scored five goals and were very effective against Al Qadsiyah. I congratulate them for this. Tomorrow, they will face Al Nassr in the final, and the winner will win the trophy. Al Nassr is my favorite, but Al Ahli showed everyone in the semifinals that they are not an ordinary team. Cristiano Ronaldo came very close to winning the trophy with his team, and tomorrow's match will be followed with great interest in many countries around the world.

We can already see the outcome of the match from the odds & team composition. Expectations of an easy Al-Ahli win have come true, even by big score. The Saudi Super Cup will be an intense match for both teams. Both teams are determined to win the title, but I predict Cristiano Ronaldo & Al-Nassr will win the final.

With the new transfers they made, Al Nassr is looking strong this year and I am pretty sure they are going to end up with a title this season, or at least will be very close to winning one.

And as long as they do that, I am sure they are going to be able to say they are fine. This is the problem with Saudi League, there is so much money going on, which means that the team that spends the most and gets the best players will end up with the best results.

In this case, they are looking like they are winning whatever they can, and that's the most important result. If they do fine, then they are going to end up with a lot better. So for the long term Al Nassr may get worse again one day, but short term? They look like the best team.

The Saudi Super Cup will be an intense match for both teams. Both teams are determined to win the title, but I predict Cristiano Ronaldo & Al-Nassr will win the final.

I think many people favor Al Nassr. They have signed many good players, including Joao Felix, who will bring about significant changes. However, remember that Al Nassr will not have Mane in the final. He received a red card. Looking at last season's SPL, Al Ahli was not that bad. So, I think we should not underestimate them. The Final is always different because the players’ mental strength will be tested. So I think there will be many surprises.

If he had been selfish and failed to score, he would have been criticized. On the other hand, it seems like Ronaldo really boosted Felix's confidence by helping him score. I think Ronaldo also played a role in Felix's transfer.

Although Ronaldo is very ambitious to score 1,000 goals, Ronaldo is still a professional and wise player. The proof is in his assist to Felix, who ultimately scored against Ittihad. Of course, Cristiano Ronaldo has been very instrumental in Felix's success, and his assists have certainly earned him a lot of love.
However, if Ronaldo had failed to score because he didn't pass to Felix, he would have been heavily criticized for being selfish. Fortunately, Ronaldo wasn't selfish at the time.

I've heard that Ronaldo played a key role in Joao Felix's transfer. He wanted Joao Felix to join and play alongside him so that when the Portuguese national team plays in the World Cup, Ronaldo and Felix can work well together. So, of course, I'm no longer surprised by the partnership between Ronaldo and Felix at Al Nassr. Now I'm curious to see how Joao Felix and Ronaldo will play in the upcoming match.
