Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[bitgolden]

It’s really a disappointment for Al Hilal to draw against Ten men Al Ittihad even though they’ve got Benzima on their side 
Even though Al Hilal haven’t yet lost any game this season, they draw six matches! While Al Nassr whom have lost thrice have just draw only once this season.

The point difference between the top three in the Saudi pro league right now is very close, Al Hilal are one point behind Al Nassr and one point ahead of Al Ahli. So with this little point difference this is the time Al Nassr needs more consistency so as to secure the trophy this season.

Ronaldo made two wonderful finishing in that game last night, he now have 964 Career goals with just 36 goals left to complete his target of 1000..

Wow, even with an early goal and an early red card for their opponent, Al Hilal couldn't win and lost first place. This must be a huge blow for them. It would be very funny if Benzema, who moved from the champions' team to the main dominant club, ends up without a title this year  
As for Ronaldo, it's great that he scored a brace, but there are 12 games left in the SPL, even if he scores 1.5 goals in each game, the number 36 seems too high for him to reach 1000 at the World Cup (which would be the most epic).

Yeah, you would expect if you are 1-0 ahead against a team that is 10 players all within first 10 minutes, you think you would win. It's really shocking, but at the same time the other team was Ittihad, so not like they were playing some lower level team.

I assumed Al Hilal would win the league after Al Nassr had that bad period, when they got ahead with more than a games difference, I thought it would be possible for Al Hilal to just cruise to title. Apparently they are not that great this year, and Al Nassr got the place back.

[Creeper0]

They've returned to their early-season form, scoring goals in every game and showing solid defense. I'm also pleased with Rolando performance, the two goals he scored are a sign that his relationship with Al Nassr has been fully restored, now their chance to win the title is alive again, hopefully they learn from the mistakes of the previous 10 weeks so that they no longer give the top position to Al Hilal.

Al Hilal's match was not unexpected, it is not easy to get 3 points against Al Ittihad. But losing points at a crucial moment does not bring anything good for a team. However, there is nothing to regret about the match.

Al Nasr's comeback was necessary. They are in good form now and trying to do something great in the league. Cristiano Ronaldo was especially great yesterday. They have to perform like this and maintain consistency to win the title. They are scoring goals in every match now and defending well. Now they just have to maintain consistency.

[$weetne$$]

Yes, finally Al-Nasser play a real game style and Cristiano Ronaldo's team take the control of the league. With the incredible aura of Cristiano Ronaldo all the team can take a benefit in their head and take a strong mindset before each game. It's the right year to win the saudi league for him.

This is the right year as everthing seem to be falling in place for them but let us hope they are able to maintain the position now and also keep their foem constant enough to make it till the end of the league and be crowned the winners as expected, behind them aren't her top contenders who are not relenting on the wins, they are definitely going to make sure to employ every measure to get a chance, so Al Nassr should not be relaxed yet.

This comeback by Al-Nassr looks like they are going straight for the title this season at this material time in the season. The 4 goals to none against Al Hazem is another form of brutality on its own an these guys do not look like a team which are ready to make the mistake of going back to the second position in the table standing again. With same games played together with Al Hilal which reads a total of 22, Al Nassr is just a point ahead of Al Hilal which shows how narrow their chances are still and which also shows how careful and more fierce they need to be if they must maintain the same spot at the top. Their next three games which are against Al Najma, Al Fayha and NEOM does not seem to pose much threat to their 3 points respectively but it also means they have to focus more on the goal now and not get busy celebrating the small wins and getting carried away.

[Hypnotizer]

Seems like Al Ahli will temporarily sit at the top of the SPL table if they’re able  finish this game against Damac in their favor, they’re already leading with one goal and it’s the 83th minute of the game…

If they win this match they’ll have 46 points and so they’ll sit at the top of the table before Al Nassr play their game against Al Najma on 25th, which off course I expect them to win.

The SPL title race between Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ahli is really interesting, there is just point point difference between them…Al Ahli are one point behind Al Hilal who are also one point behind Al Nassr. It would certainly get interesting because it would be tough for all of them as they’ll try to remain consistent in winning their games.

Some Ronaldo fans have been bragging after Al Nassr took over the league ranking, they talked about Al Hilal signing Benzema and whoever they think is important to help them snatch the title, forgetting that there are more matches to be played and anything can happen. Instead of bragging and putting themselves under pressure, it is best if they settle down and place better concentration in the remaining matches. It is enough time Ronaldo win a title since joining Al Nassr and not alone goal scoring records.

This is not the time for Al Nassr to relax, because currently the table isn't stable for all the top four clubs in the standing, and any draw or loss from any of them could send them down from the standing. Al Ahli won against Damac 1-0 today and currently they top the table and lead Al Nassr with one point, Al Nassr will face Al Najma on Wednesday who are at the bottom of the table so Al Nassr is expected to win this game easily to return back to the top in the standing.

Al Hilal has a big match tomorrow with Al Taawoun, I know Al Hilal is the stronger team here but Al Taawoun performance can't be underestimated because they are not that bad this season which I'm expecting them to put out strong challenges with Al Hilal.

Al Ahli Jeddah won Damac by a lone goal in what seems to be a tight match because Franck Kessie scored in first half and that was it till full-time, though their efforts almost got ruined when Damac got an equalizer in the 90 minutes but the goal was disallowed if not it would have been a draw match. Al Ahli have tried so much to be consistent for so long and today they moved to the top with 56 points while Al Nassr and Al Hilal has 55 and 54 points respectively as they are yet to play their matches which will determine if Al Ahli Jeddah will stay at the top or it's just a temporary reign for them. Al Nassr has the advantage to top the table so they must remain consistent and should not lose points at this critical time, they must learn from Al Ahli Jeddah who have been without defeat or draw in their matches for so long.

Al-nassr's eventual return to the top of the table has delighted all Al-nssr fans and Cristiano Ronaldo fans alike. but this season wouldn't be exciting without fierce competition. and now that fierce competition is really happening between Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, and Al-Hilal.

Regarding Al nassr, I really don't understand why Felix's goal-scoring productivity always declines the longer he plays for a club. this isn't just happening here at Al-nassr but also at his previous clubs. I hope he can return to being the productive player he was at the start of the season.

Yes. Al Nassr secured another big win with Ronaldo scoring twice. This win is crucial for their continued confidence in their title hopes especially after Al Hilal drew with Al Ittihad. So, Al Nassr must capitalize on this opportunity to maintain their consistency. Al Ahli is currently in first place but they've played 23 matches while Al Nassr has only played 22. With one more match Al Nassr will automatically overtake Al Ahli in first place.

I also think this season is the perfect time for Al Nassr to win the SPL trophy Ronaldo has been dreaming of. Al Nassr squad this season is quite good especially with their defense having undergone significant changes compared to last season very fragile defense. Al Nassr attacking prowess is undeniable especially this season, having scored 57 goals in 22 matches. In their next match Al Nassr will face a team at the bottom of the standings, with Al Nassr being favored in terms of quality and predicted to win easily.

The competition is very tensed in the SPL this season between the 3 teams and initially now, Al Ahli just won their match against Damac today and climbed to the top which is a very big challenge on Al Nassr and Al Hilal who were ahead of them before, so they also need to win in order to come back to their positions. Joao Felix was very lively in scoring goals towards the early part of the season but suddenly he declined and i was even thinking that maybe he is not played often in matches or probably had an injury, it never occurred to me that he lost form which is the reason why he hasn't been visible again for a very long time. I believe he will revitalize himself and start scoring goals again which is what we want to be seeing in him.

The Saudi Arabian Football League is really getting intense now. Three teams Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli Saudi FC and Al-Hilal are now standing in the same position. Everyone wants to see such a competitive game. To be honest, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr have gained momentum and their comeback was amazing. But now it is to be seen whether they can continue this winning streak in the upcoming matches or not. And it is becoming very difficult to predict which team is realistically closest to the trophy this season.

I expected the PIF-funded teams to be on top, but what happened to Al Ittihad this time? They were further weakened by the transfer of Karim Benzema to Al Hilal. For me the transfer look like a ploy to sacrifice Al Ittihad to make sure that Al Hilal remains on the top against Al Nassr. But this tactic flopped, and by now Al Nassr has overtaken Al Hilal in terms of points. At the 4th and 5th positions, we have Al Qadisiyah and Al Taawoun respectively and Al Ittihad is currently languishing at the 6th place. Two weeks ago, they lost a crucial encounter against Al Nassr, by a margin of 0-2.

Yes,, Al Ahli managed to win this match with a narrow 0-1 score,, so with that, Al Ahli has managed to temporarily top the standings in the Saudi Arabian League. So this really adds to the very exciting competition in the Saudi Arabian League. But honestly, I'm really happy that the Saudi Arabian League is quite competitive now. If we look at the past few seasons,, only Al Hilal has consistently dominated, and that's clearly not exciting.

But this season,, it's not just one team that can compete well, but three teams are really fighting to be champions in this league. So, this is truly quite rapid progress in the Saudi Arabian League, in my personal opinion. Because this is the sensation of a quality league. Furthermore,, speaking of the match between Al Nasr and Al Najma, it's clear that Al Nasr will definitely win that match. Because Al Nasr's current performance is quite good.

The title race this season is really competitive and exciting, from Al Nassr leading to Al Hilal snatching the lead and then again Al Nassr reclaiming back the lead…Al Ahli are also in the race.

Al Ahli could have draw that match if not for the cancellation of Damac goal by VAR in the stoppage time, Damac played really well in the second half, they took the possession and had more shots on target, Al Ahli goalkeeper saved four of their balls…

But this season,, it's not just one team that can compete well, but three teams are really fighting to be champions in this league.

This season is really competitive not only at the top but even the reigning champions Al ittihad fall behind in the race…they’re the sixth on the table! That’s real competition.


Al Nassr are sure favorite for that match because they’re playing against the team at the bottom of the league, Al Najma only won one of their matches this season.

I wouldn't see it that way. It's normal for players to join the best team in the league to achieve something greater and it's normal for bigger teams to seek the best player of other teams within the league as long as the player agreed to join so I won't see it as a ploy to keep Al Hilal at the top. Even if that's the main idea since there is no evidence then we shouldn't see it in that way.
We all saw when Al Hilal tried to get Ronaldo from Al Nassr, what if he has decided to join? I will say Al Hilal are just obsessed with bringing the best players to the team. If Al Hilal has failed to perform after signing Benzema then maybe it's just not their season this time around, I think it's time we see Ronaldo and Al Nassr lift the trophy. I would be happy to see Ronaldo win the league for Al Nassr he has given his best for them, he deserves it.

Al Ittihad had a very unbelievable decline in this season and losing Benzema to Al Hilal only makes remaining matches of this season worse for their club. In Saudi Professional League, top four clubs a very closely with each other and they are competing tightly for Saudi Professional League title. Al Ahli just took over a first position, now with 56 points, and Al Qadsiah with 3 points less are at the fourth position.

Both Al Nassr and Al Hilal will have their matches for playing and getting three points, so the first position of Al Ahli is possibly temporary and will be changed soon. It's unrealistic to think that both Al Nassr and Al Hilal will lose points in their matches and they will very likely take a first and second position after playing their 23rd matches in Saudi Professional League.

What I was implying is that the Benzema's move to Al Hilal was possibly scripted by the PIF. And that was the accusation from Ronaldo, and the reason why he went on strike. As per Ronaldo, PIF is acting in a biased manner, by strengthening the Al Hilal squad with strong players and at the same time rejecting the requests from Al Nassr for the infusion of fresh talent. Both the clubs are 75% owned by the PIF, and without the approval from the latter they can't do any hiring. However, the official version is that Benzema got out of the contract with Al Ittihad because the terms were disrespectful towards him. If that was the case, then why he agreed to it in the first place?

Saudi league is standing tall these days it is becoming interesting and more competitive because right now we can't predict who among this three team who will win the trophy. In my opinion I think Al-Nassr is has a highest chance of winning the trophy because of key player cristiano ronaldo. Al Ahli FC is currently leading at the top of the table with 56 points. It obvious that al-Nassr has played 22 matches. Al nass upcoming match is Al najma and al najma is sitting at the bottom of the table so al nassr chances of winning is high. If Al nassr win they will sit at the top of the table with 58 points.

Gap between the top-3 teams is too close to predict anything. I would have went with Al Nassr, but then their bad patch after the 10th round and Ronaldo's strike changed everything. Also, Al Hilal is now strengthened by the transfer of Karim Benzema. Can't write off Al Ahli either, as they have been in superb form during this season. Ivan Toney has been exceptional in this season, and at the moment he is the top-scorer. Julián Quiñones has been good for Al Qadisiyah, but outside the top-3 I don't think that any other team has a realistic chance. I checked a few of the sportsbooks, and they are giving highest chance to Al Nassr (2.37). Al Hilal is at 2.60, and Al Ahli is at 3.00.
