Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[arabspaceship123]

Al Nassr signed Felix to help Cristiano score the goals which they need if they want to become SPL champions. If their defence will be connected they will not let goals get past their goalkeeper. Al Nassr have a team which can win the SPL but Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli are serious about winning the SPL for their owners and fans.

A team without superstars can succeed and win trophies if they have young dedicated players who are willing to represent the team and give their all to ensure they win matches and win trophies but the case of the teams in the Saudi Pro league is different for example Al Littihad  that was good last season of you look at the players in the team you will discover that they have young players who have decided to give their best to ensure they win matches for the team.

Al Nassr has superstars like Ronaldo and the rest of the stars last season but coming to this season they have signed more quality players you can't compare their past performance to their present performance the difference is very clear.

Recruiting top European players is an excellent strategy, as it can significantly increase the popularity of the Saudi League. This strategy is not only focused on the short term, but is also part of an effort to build the league's image to be more competitive and attract global attention. This is evident in the fact that many media outlets around the world are now reporting on the Saudi League, especially since as we know, the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo has been a jackpot for the Saudi League in terms of popularity.

Additionally, this will make it increasingly difficult for local players to compete. They must train harder to improve their skills. The arrival of top European players should serve as motivation for local players to prove that they are no less talented than their European counterparts.

Honestly, that win against City made the whole world think Saudi League is better than it is. But in reality, they are just getting either old superstars, or just mediocre young players, and they are not good at all, nowhere near the top 10 level let alone the top 5 they are talking about. It's a reality that the yare just a league for veterans to show off once more. Think about it, many of these players can't do half of what they do here if they were in a bigger league.

Ronaldo can't even do this at Portugal back at Lisbon, let alone any other bigger league. So it's quite obvious that we are seeing some skewed opinions due to one simple game. City has been bad for a while now, so they just ruined the talk for football by losing that too.

What you said is certainly true, because basically, if we compare the quality of the teams and the quality of the league, it's clear that the Saudi Arabian League is still quite far behind the major leagues in Europe. However, if we talk about the big teams in the Saudi Arabian League, such as Al Hilal, Al Nasr, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli, I think these teams are currently performing quite well, and perhaps could compete quite well if they met with top-class teams from Europe. Because basically, currently, European players who join the Saudi Arabian League are not only old players. But many young players have also moved to teams in the Saudi Arabian League, such as Joao Felix, Retegui, and many more.

So with that in mind, I think underestimating the big teams in the Saudi Arabian League is also basically wrong. Because basically, currently, they are also performing quite well. Speaking of Al Hilal's victory over Manchester City, I think it's clear evidence that Al Hilal is indeed performing quite well. While it's true that Manchester City wasn't performing well at the time, it's still something to be proud of for a team of Al Hilal stature to beat them. Especially with Manchester City coached by Pep Guardiola and boasting a slew of star players. So a team beating them of course, could be a sign that they are making progress.

This coming week, there's a match that's sure to be a very intense one. It's Al Hilal vs Al Qasisiyah. With both teams performing equally well, I'm sure this match will be an epic spectacle. While this match is sure to be exciting, I personally find it very difficult to predict which team has the greatest potential. So, will you be placing a bet on this match? If so, which team will you bet on?

Besides Al Hilal vs Al Qasisiyah, I think another equally exciting match will be Al Ahli vs Al Ettifaq. I'm sure this match will be quite exciting, although Al Ahli is likely to be the favorite to win. Still, I don't think you should miss this match. For this match, I'll be betting on Al Ahli, so what do you think?

The SPL is better than it was 5 years ago. They have become a professional league because of the European players and coaches who went there to improve the league. After another 5 years SPL teams could be winning against European teams in every competition if they recruit the best coaches.

Honestly, that win against City made the whole world think Saudi League is better than it is. But in reality, they are just getting either old superstars, or just mediocre young players, and they are not good at all, nowhere near the top 10 level let alone the top 5 they are talking about.

I’m also looking forward for this match, not because I’m a fan for either side but the result in this fixture will have an impact in the team I’m a fan of Al Nassr. Al Hilal are huge favorites in winning this year Saudi professional league so I would prefer they drop point in Bria match. During this summer transfer Al Quadisiya made some big transfers and we expect those players to have impact in matches like this.

Al Hilal are doing well under this new management, they also brought in some Quality players, I believe Player like Darwin Nunez will definitely want to get his first SPL goal in this fixture. It going to be an interesting match to watch. I really can’t wait for the international break to be over and get on with club side football.

I want to ask some questions about this league to everyone who comments here in this thread and bet on this league.

Do you feel like you can grab some good profit betting on this league? In which market do you see we have an edge? BTTS? Or only in 1X2 matches?

[Slow death]

Al Hilal always gave the impression to be a better built team compared to the other ones. The don't have any real superstar but they have many extremely good players in all roles. Al Nassr is all about Ronaldo, and this is both a blessing and a curse. I also like a lot Al Ahli because despite the limited amount of foreign players they obtain excellent results. To be honest at the end the most disappointing team has been Al Nassr, everybody were expecting them to win everything and they ended up with nothing.

Sometimes you don't need superstars to shine as a team, just like you said, they have many extremely good players in all roles, that alone is enough to make a team unstoppable. Just have players that are good in their different positions and you're good to go. Last season Al Littihad were so good that they beat both Al Hilal and Al Nassr, infact there was even this very match that Al Nassr were leading with 2 - 0 but at the end, it ended in Al Littihad winning 3 - 2 on the night.

But Al Littihad has Karin Benzema, who was a goal-scoring machine at Real Madrid. He left Real Madrid on his own accord. He could still be playing there today. I consider him a Real Madrid hero. When we were losing and the coach brought in Karin Benzema, I immediately had high expectations for him, and he didn't disappoint.

He managed to score an equalizer and a winning goal. He was always a great player. He stopped playing for the Franca national team because of a disagreement with the Franca national team coach. If Benzema had a lot of media attention, he would be getting a lot of attention today. Consider that this season, he played one game and scored three goals.

[SatoPrincess]

I agree with what you said about Al Hilal. Their players are high-quality and they're a team competing for the title. They won the championship in previous years and seem to be aiming for it again this year in Saudi Arabia. I don't think they'll have any problems with the matches they play. They'll start the league smoothly. The slightly later start allows the players to rest more. In this respect, the players are fortunate. As a well-prepared and tactically sound team, Al Hilal is one of this year's most serious title contenders.

It's true that Al Hilal has good players in it so that it allows them to achieve maximum results like the last few seasons, Al Hilal always competes tightly in the Saudi League so obviously they don't want to make mistakes that make it difficult for them because clubs like Al Nassr and Al Ittihad will try to maintain their consistency to compete in the Saudi League title race so the competition might be even tighter this season because I see a different quality of Al Nassr unlike before.

Al Hilal always gave the impression to be a better built team compared to the other ones. The don't have any real superstar but they have many extremely good players in all roles. Al Nassr is all about Ronaldo, and this is both a blessing and a curse. I also like a lot Al Ahli because despite the limited amount of foreign players they obtain excellent results. To be honest at the end the most disappointing team has been Al Nassr, everybody were expecting them to win everything and they ended up with nothing.

What are you saying that they don’t have many top tier players? This team has Marcos Leonardo, Darwin Nunez, Joao Cancelo, Hernandez, Koulibaly, Milinkovic, Bounou. These are all super stars, what do you expect from a team with these quality, they obviously match the standards of every other top club in the league and could also lose a final on a bad day.

I don't really understand what he means about 'real superstar'. But I agree with you that Al Hilal has many star players. Those players you mentioned above are star players, they were quite popular players in Europe. If we compare with Ronaldo, those players are still better ages. So, Al Hilal actually have star players with ideal ages (under 35 years old). Even, some of the start players are still in their prime ages. Considering this matter, Al Hilal has very good squad quality.

Sure, when it is in the final match, a surprise can happen. Moreover it is a penalty shootout. Sometimes, the win is determined by the luck factor and the mentality of the whole players.

Haha, maybe the Super Stars referred to are players like Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar yeah that's his personal assumption while we know players like Darwin Nunez are also Super Star player, what is clear is that players who have been mainstays in the Premier League can be called Super Stars. By the way it's a bit of a shame that Darwin Núñez moved to the Saudi Pro League because he's still young at 26 years old he should still be able to pursue his career at an elite club in Europa.

Football can be unpredictable, but with Al Nassr's current squad, I'd confidently bet on them against any team in Saudi league. Star players really matter in a team, which is why Al Nassr strengthened their squad with these top players. I'm sure they'll do their best to bring out the quality they have to help this team.

All the top teams in the Saudi league have star players mixed with their squad, but none compare to the star players Al Nassr has this season. These top clubs didn't sign these players just to make their team names popular, like they did in previous seasons. This time, the signings of these star players are for real competition.

You're right that Al Nasr has several new players this season, all of whom come from major European teams. So, considering that, there's no doubt that Al Nasr's current performance should be much better than last season. The current Al Nasr squad is indeed filled with great players from major European teams. However, in my opinion, having many star players alone doesn't necessarily guarantee a team's success. Besides having great players, a team also needs a balanced squad and good teamwork.

Without those qualities, I'm sure they won't perform well in the competitions they participate in. Al Nasr must also realize this. They shouldn't spend a lot of money on expensive players who don't deliver good results. The point is, Al Nasr must be precise in bringing in new players, and avoid buying the wrong players. What the player means here is that Al Nasr must know which line has weaknesses, only then can Al Nasr buy new, better players to replace their own. That's the gist of it.

I am getting tired of this argument. Why the young players need to be in Europe to advance their career? Nowadays, European clubs don't show any sort of respect towards the players, and majority of them are owned by corrupt oligarchs. In the last couple of years, we are witnessing an increasing number of young players moving to Saudi Arabia. Darwin Núñez is not the only one who made the move. In Al Hilal itself we have Yusuf Akçiçek and Mathieu Patouillet. Merih Demiral is representing Al Ahli, and in Al Qadsiah we have Christopher Bonsu Baah, Mateo Retegui and Julián Quiñones.

He is definitely an quality player and we observed that Darwin Nunez was able to play a good role for the Liverpool football team in the friendly match at the end but after this player's departure, it created a comfortable environment for the Liverpool team because at that time they submitted huge bids to buy some players, and they were even very concerned about the Newcastle player. To be honest it's probably something everyone has noticed that many players from European clubs have joined the Saudi Pro League this transfer summer, similarly Yacine Adil is currently joining Al Shabab from AC Milan Football Club, in addition many other players had previously joined the Al Nassr club, therefore there is a greater chance that the level of competition will increase in this new season.

Yes, it's a shame that Darwin Nunez, who is still young, chose to move to the SPL. However, he certainly had compelling reasons for his departure to join Al Hilal. If I'm not mistaken, only the Arab League would be willing to pay him a large sum of money. The bottom line is that it seems the money Al Hilal offered him was the reason he decided to leave Liverpool for the SPL. However, I think his career in the Saudi Arabian League is also a good thing, as many star players have joined Saudi Arabian League teams.

In my opinion, the arrival of Darwin Nunez from Liverpool will certainly make Al Hilal stronger, and the arrival of Joao Felix to Al Nassr will certainly make Al Nassr even stronger. This will certainly make the Al Nassr rivalry even more exciting, as both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be even stronger. This ultimately makes me want to watch the Al Hilal vs. Al Nassr match soon, but unfortunately, that match is still a long way off.

Darwin Nunez and Joao Felix have similar issues and after failing in Europe, they wanted to find a new league, new club for their new career chapters. Money is another big reason as they can receive very good wages that are better than from European clubs by playing for Saudi Arabia clubs. It's actually worthy for serious consideration and eventually they both chose Saudi Professional League as destinations.

Darwin Nunez even performed better than Joao Felix recent seasons but by choosing Saudi Professional League, I guess they want to play more regularly, with less pressure and can have better performances as their preparations for World Cup 2026. If don't have any injury, Darwin Nunez position in Uruguay team is quite solid for World Cup 2026 while Joao Felix must try more to be called for that tournament.

Saudi Arabia is now considered the rising star of world football. That's why we're seeing an increase in young players transferring to this league. Last year, John Duran also transferred to Al Nassr. Although many Premier League teams wanted him, there must be a reason he chose Saudi Arabia at such a young age. Even if Europe no longer accepts him, we can say that Saudi Arabia has become a center of attraction.

[arabspaceship123]

Stars do not make the team. If SPL did not have side players like Mane and Kante it would not succeed. Cristiano did not win the SPL with Al Nassr because the team was not complete. Players like Felix and Nunez could make their teams successful.

Furthermore, Al Qadisiyah has been strengthened by new players with excellent qualities. So, with that in mind, I think Al Hilal does have the potential to drop points in this match. So, to make that happen, pray often, my friend, haha.

Speaking of Al Nasr, next week they'll face a relatively weak team, Al Khoolod. I think it's a very easy match for Al Nasr, so as an Al Nasr fan, you don't need to worry, because you can be sure Al Nasr will be able to get all three points in this match. Especially since their current players, Ronaldo and Felix, are also in excellent form. So, with that in mind, I think Al Nasr will not only win this match, but they'll also likely score a lot of goals against Al Khoolod. So, don't forget to watch this match.
