Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

Well that's what it's all about, CR7 has a good ally, and it's undeniable that with Mane things are good, there are more chances to win, at least many more than in other seasons, they just have to win everything and when it's against Al Ittihad win it no matter what, they can't lower their level, they shouldn't even think about it, that's what they should focus on.

Turned out to be an amazing match, with Al Nassr winning as a result of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané. Karim Benzema was included in the starting XI (although a lot of us thought that he will miss the match as a result of hamstring injury), and was supported by players such as Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Diaby. But that was not enough to counter Al Nassr, who had placed a full-strength side. Now Al Nassr have 12 points from 3 matches, while Al Ittihad is at second place with 9 points.

I commented yesterday that Al Nassr would come out of this game with a victory, they hired a good coach and that is very clear this season, they managed to win today without conceding a goal and scored 2 goals, with this very important victory they remain at the top of the table with 12 points, they have a 3 point advantage over second and third place, if they can maintain this consistency



So they can finally become champions this season. Jorge Jesus has always been a great coach. In every team he's been in, he's managed to make the team play well and fight for the title. There's no doubt that Al Nassr's management made a good choice in hiring him.

The way Al Nassr has been performing this season, it looks like they are the favourites to win the league this season, their defence is strong, and their attackers can score goals to win every game they play. Al Nassr is fortunate to have Jorge Jesus as their coach, he is a good coach, and it appears that Ronaldo understands that the man can change the team, which is why he called the man when Al Nassr wanted to sign him and asked him to come and coach them.

Anyone in charge of signing players for Al Nassr understands how to sign players because signing Joao Felix and Coman is one of the best signings for the team, and defeating Al Etihad 2-0 with a clean sheet shows that Al Nassr is ready to win a trophy this season. Al Nassr players should just focus on winning a major trophy for the team so that the team does not regret signing Ronaldo.

An extraordinary match, with Al Nassr clearly dominating the game, defeating Al Ittihad with a clean 2-0 score without conceding a single goal proves not only the perfection of their attacking line but also the balance of their defensive line. Of course, this cannot be separated from the cool hand of coach Jorge Jesus. A visually stunning match, especially for Al Nassr fans, with the players performing exceptionally well. It's impossible not to notice Cristiano Ronaldo, the megastar who continues to score goals. He plays a crucial role in building the players' mental resilience, instilling a champion's mindset and a refusal to give up. A three-point lead in the standings is not an insurmountable gap, but if this consistency can be maintained, the chances of winning the title are wide open.

Bookmakers initially saw Al-Nasr as the winner in this match, with the odds being quite telling at 1.69. It's both about the coach and the fact that Al-Nasr has seriously strengthened this season, it seems they were the team with the most valuable acquisitions. Now, after four rounds, Al-Nasr is the sole leader, and it looks like this is finally their season. And that's a good thing, because a change of champion and intriguing competition are something that even Europe's top leagues lack.

It's clear that Al Nassr is very different this season from last, as their strength has improved since the arrival of several new players. And those two first-half goals are proof that Al Nassr's teamwork has improved and their performance has become more complete this season. And with the result of this match, I am increasingly convinced that Al Nassr will be a strong candidate to win the trophy in the Saudi Pro League this season because even a team that is considered strong like Al Ittihad is no longer able to beat Al Nassr in the current condition.

I hope this form continues and not get stopped when the season gets to the middle that games becomes tougher and teams that started the season strong begin to lose games. Al Nassr has struggled enough and deserves to win the league because of the numbers of talents that they have. Ronaldo has being unfortunate so far as I think he should have won the league since. The statistics for the game was incredible as Al Nassr dominated the whole game from the beginning to ending and then scoring twice without their opponent being able the reply says it all. Ronaldo keeps increasing his goals scoring records.

Oh, his a good coach! I don't even know him, I will try to know his name though after this. I love how the defence is more solid now compared to previous seasons, just last season they could score two goals and still concede three in the same match but I saw something different. Al Littihad couldn't break the defence line and Al Nassr attackers were sharp in the game, it could have been even more than the 2 goals they scored.

Before the match it was predicted by many that Al-Nassr would manage to win against Al-ittihad. Because Al-Nassr improved themselves a lot they were really successful in making authentic changes in their team which is the basic reason for their win.  And Al-Nassr just amazingly proved every prediction and they won with a shine victory by scoring two goals. Al-Nassr is on their way to chase the more success and I think this is the team we can say about they definitely learned from their mistakes and try to keep the journey on to improve the performance of the team. Al-Nassr scored goals and the best players did it possible. Cristiano Ronaldo is a wonderful player and helps the team to score the goals. And the way Al-Nassr is going and their behaviour and their efforts are really admirable. And they are going to be a favourite team to win in this league.

The match between Al-Ittihad & Al-Nassr determine who's the real leader of the SPL standings this season, it was really an interesting match with many attacks carried out by away team (Al-Nassr). After the match was over, Al-Nassr was leading with 12 points, 3 points ahead of Al-Ittihad with 9 points. I see Al-Nassr's journey this season as Cristiano's best yet, as the potential for a first-ever SPL title is wide open this season.

I was really impressed when I saw this results yesterday after the match, I did not get to watch the match in real time but I did followed up with the stats and commentary and I still was very impressed.  Their tactical approach in this game is one that proves that the coach is getting it right with the team and he is been able to appropriately position the player to produce results, he is getting the team really productive and that is causing more persons to build more confidence in him and also trust the process with him, maybe this will be that season for them.

[Fuso.hp]

We will witness a very exciting match because we will see last season's champions, Ittihad, take on Al Nassr, a team that is currently on the rise. I am sure many people are eager to see this match because we will see many star players there, such as Benzema, Ronaldo, and others. And surely will give their all to win the match.

Personally, I find it difficult to predict who will win the match because, of course, both teams will be in good form. However, if Al Nassr wins, it will certainly give them a strong chance of winning the trophy this season. But if Ittihad wins, it will make it difficult for Al Nassr to win the title this season, and their aspirations will likely be dashed again. Which team do you think will win, Ittihad or Al Nassr? However, I predict that many in this forum will favor Al Nassr to win. Is that correct?  

IMO, Al Nassr would be the favorites, given their recent form. But Al Ittihad will be having the home advantage as the match will be played at the Al Inma Bank Stadium in Jeddah. But the deciding factor can be the availability of Karim Benzema, who is having some hamstring issue. If Benzema is not available, then there will be a clear advantage for Al Nassr. Even with Benzema, at least in the forward department Al Nassr has the upper hand. Cristiano Ronaldo is likely to be supported by Kingsley Coman, Joao Felix and Sadio Mane.

This is undoubtedly going to be the biggest match of the Saudi League and this match will prove which team is stronger. There is no doubt that Al-Nassr has been performing well since the beginning of the season. So far, in all the matches Al-Nassr has played against their opponents in the Saudi League, Al-Nassr has won by a large margin. Although the match against Al-Ittihad will be an away match for Al-Nassr, I would say that this away match will not have any effect on Al-Nassr's good performance. Like you, I will consider Al-Nassr as the favorite in this match. If Al-Nassr can perform well and if they can earn full points in this match, then we will have no doubt that the league title will go to Al-Nassr at the end of this season.

[imamusma]

Al Nassr has recorded a perfect start to the season, securing full points in every match and currently sitting at the top of the table. The win against Al Ittihad can be seen as a form of affirmation, showing they are truly serious about winning a trophy this season. The change in manager and the overhaul of the squad's depth have drastically improved Al Nassr performance, and I'm curious if they will be able to maintain that consistency until the end of the season. Regardless, it's still too early to say much right now, but what's clear is that Al Nassr chances of winning a trophy this season are much higher than they were last season.

[Solokan]

Cristiano Ronaldo really performed well in yesterday's match. He scored with a great header. Of course, his performance is still good even though he is no longer young. However, in yesterday's match, Ronaldo and his teammates managed to defeat Ittihad with a score of 2-0. This is certainly a great achievement considering that Ittihad was the Saudi League champion last season. Sadio Mane also performed very well in yesterday's match and scored a goal against Ittihad.

Benzema and his teammates must now admit that their strength has been surpassed by Al Nassr. This certainly means that Laurent must continue to train Ittihad so that they can perform even better in the second match. Now, Ittihad must accept losing points because Al Nassr clearly played better in yesterday's match. Fortunately, I bet on Al Nassr's victory in that match and ended up making a profit. However, Jorge Jesus now needs to improve Al Nassr's performance to ensure they can perform better and maintain consistency in upcoming matches.

However, Al Nassr has now widened the points gap with Ittihad and is currently at the top of the standings. Al Nassr must now consistently win to secure the trophy this season.

They've started this season really well, and if they continue like this, Cristiano Ronaldo could win his first title in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr is a good team, and they need to win the title. They've fallen behind many times, but this season, we see they're serious.

Al Ittihad sacks manager Laurent Blanc after loss to Al Nassr

Al Ittihad has sacked manager Laurent Blanc, the Saudi Pro League club said on Saturday, following its 2-0 defeat against Al Nassr a day earlier.

“Al-Ittihad announces the termination of its contractual relationship with the first team’s head coach, Mr Laurent Blanc and his coaching staff,” the club said on X.

Al-Ittihad added that it was also looking for “new technical staff that matches the club’s ambitions”.

Blanc took charge of Al-Ittihad in July last year and led the team to a domestic double, winning both the league title and the King’s Cup.

However, the team began the new season by exiting the Saudi Super Cup in the semifinals following a loss to Al-Nassr, before suffering a second defeat to the Riyadh-based side in the league on Friday.

It is third in the standings, three points behind Al-Nassr.

They've started this season really well, and if they continue like this, Cristiano Ronaldo could win his first title in Saudi Arabia. Al-Nassr is a good team, and they need to win the title. They've fallen behind many times, but this season, we see they're serious.

Last season, Al Nassr was also very serious about achieving their best position in the league, but their skill level and luck weren't on their side. So, this season, Al Nassr is starting to work again with a different set of skills than last season to have a chance to win a trophy in the Saudi Pro League. I'm quite confident that if Al Nassr's players remain consistent in winning and keep fighting in every match until the end of the season, they will surely win the trophy they've longed for. Winning any trophy requires hard work and strong determination from everyone on the team.

Al Ittihad sacks manager Laurent Blanc after loss to Al Nassr

Al Ittihad has sacked manager Laurent Blanc, the Saudi Pro League club said on Saturday, following its 2-0 defeat against Al Nassr a day earlier.

Saudis don't play when it comes to failing to maintain success regardless of how good you were with them in the past, like any top teams in the major leagues and even stricter.
Laurent Blanc is a known coach, yet he was sacked for losing twice against the same team and a main rival.
Al-Nassr looks good this season and willing to win the title, it has been a quite long time for Cristiano Ronaldo not winning a good trophy.

The match between Al-Ittihad & Al-Nassr determine who's the real leader of the SPL standings this season, it was really an interesting match with many attacks carried out by away team (Al-Nassr). After the match was over, Al-Nassr was leading with 12 points, 3 points ahead of Al-Ittihad with 9 points. I see Al-Nassr's journey this season as Cristiano's best yet, as the potential for a first-ever SPL title is wide open this season.

Al-Ittihad, the hosts in that match, also seemed to struggle to penetrate Al-Nassr's defense. Benzema and his teammates had to accept that Al-Nassr looked superior this season. What I liked about that match was how Al-Nassr scored. I thought all the goals were very well-organized. I even liked the way Cristiano Ronaldo scored in that match. He always knows how to position himself in areas that the opponent doesn't expect.

Al-Nassr may have its moment of glory this season. Besides having a good goal production, the team has also managed to address its weaknesses in defense. Jorge Jesus seems to be a coach who always knows how to utilize every player in the squad effectively.

Turned out to be an amazing match, with Al Nassr winning as a result of goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané. Karim Benzema was included in the starting XI (although a lot of us thought that he will miss the match as a result of hamstring injury), and was supported by players such as Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Diaby. But that was not enough to counter Al Nassr, who had placed a full-strength side. Now Al Nassr have 12 points from 3 matches, while Al Ittihad is at second place with 9 points.

Yes, after several seasons, Al Nasr has always struggled when facing Al Ittihad, but this season Al Nasr was able to beat Al Ittihad very well. I think with this, I think it is a very clear sign that this season Al Nasr has a very big potential to become champions in the Saudi Arabian League. Because with Al Nasr's current performance, I don't think any team will be able to beat Al Nasr easily. Because even a team of Al Ittihad's class can be defeated by Al Nasr.

Then I don't think a team like Al Hilal will be able to compete with Al Nasr at this time, because currently Al Hilal has a less than good performance and is very different from its performance in previous seasons. Because currently Al Hilal is in 6th place in the Saudi Arabian League standings and that proves that their current performance is really not good. So with that, I think Ronaldo's hope to be able to win a trophy this season will really be realized. So, I hope that the Al Nasr players can maintain their cohesiveness and good performance until the end of this season.

Al Ittihad and Al Nassr played their match on in Jeddah on Friday. Al Nassr beat Al Ittihad 2-0. Mane scored the first goal for Al Nassr and Cristiano scored the second goal. Al Nassr are topping the SPL.
