Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Wiwo]

I guess a lot of people are not taking the ongoing war seriously. As per Peter Brian Hegseth (United States secretary of defense), this war is likely to last another 8 weeks. And this means that there will be more attacks on the GCC nations (including Saudi Arabia) and in the next few weeks I expect a lot of the overseas-based players to leave Saudi Arabia. And there is a good chance that the Saudi Professional League get suspended until the ceasefire agreement is signed. The League management has the option of continuing with the League, with available players. But in that case, the media rights holders won't be too happy.

With recent intensity of both parties attacks, every geopolitical location is at threat and Risk so Saudi Arabia is definitely speculated to be targeted if the war escalated, but what you should know is that in situations like this, leagues will continue and with just security adjustments, since the league is not at centre of the war, for that reason the Saudi Arabia pro league will seems to continue until official announcements.

There is no doubt that Al hilal has a good chance of winning this match. Al najma is not a team that is on par with Al hilal in terms of strength. previously, Al Nassr and Al Ahli also defeated Al-Najma by a large margin. so I think Al-Hilal will do the same in today's match. at least 3 goals will likely be scored in this match.

The match between Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad will still be a difficult one to predict. although I believe Al-Ahli is in better shape at the moment, Al-Ittihad cannot be underestimated. therefore, I might prefer not to favor either team in this match.

No doubt, Al Hilal will easy get three points against the most bottom team Al Najma have loss 5 of last 6 matches in domestic league, Al Hilal want to pressure Al Nassr at top standings and won't loss three points make difficult get chance keep in the tittle race with Al Nassr and Al Ahli.
The match Al Ahli vs Al Ittihad seems difficult for predicting indeed looking last several matches of Al Ahli performing well but Al Ittihad ever holding draw Al Hilal last several weeks ago. Al Ahli if can secure three points by defeating Al Ittihad has chance for awhile back to top position behind Al Nassr will play this week match on Sunday night against Neom.

Of the three matches you mentioned, only Al Hilal and Al Nassr can claim three points, while Al Ahli will struggle to steal points against Al Ittihad, the defending champions from last season. Even Al Hilal struggled to beat Al Ittihad, even though they were reduced to 10 men due to a red card.

So, I can say that in Week 25, Al Nassr remains at the top of the standings. With their improving performance, they are predicted to be able to defeat Neom SC, especially since this match is at home. Al Hilal is followed in second place, as they are not expected to struggle to win this match, as they are against a team at the bottom of the standings. Al Najma has only managed eight points in 24 matches. Al Ahli will drop to third place, as facing Al Ittihad is not easy, and a draw is likely.

We got two matches in the SPL tonight…

Al Ahli Vs Al Ittihad; and

Al Hilal Vs Al Najma.

What are your thoughts about this two games?

That of Al Hilal, I expect them to definitely win this game..it’s against Al Najma whom are at the bottom of the league and that’s the same team Al Nassr trashed 5-0 and Al Ahli also 4-1, so Al Hilal should also be able to win and grab those three points to have the same points as Al Nassr before they play their own round game against Neom.

Al Ahli Vs Al Ittihad would be a tough game but Al Ahli are the favorite to win based on bookmarked..

There's another crucial match this night which you forgot to add Al Taawoun and Al Fateh match. In my opinion this game will be more exciting than that of Al Hilal Vs Al Najma, because we already know Al Hilal is the favorite to win Al Najma. Al Taawoun started the season with a strong performance, they are among the top four in the standing before but suddenly they started dropping points. Today's match is their chance to surpass Al Ittihad if Al Alhi luckily beat Ittihad. In my opinion Al Ahli is the favorite in this match but Al Ittihad can't be underestimated despite not being in the top four, they can suprise and perform differently. Al Ahli also need these three point take the lead on the table.

I highly doubt that Iran would be stupid enough to bomb a stadium or something, I think Saudi Arabia will not get the worst of it. I understand that Iran is attacking all US allies in the middle east, and SA is one of the biggest allies that USA ever had.

We are talking about a nation that sells oil they have to USA, for whatever price USA wants to, and then uses that money to buy planes and guns from USA, so USA basically gets the oil for free. That means USA will do whatever they can to protect Saudi Arabia at all cost.

Has Iran declared a war against Saudi Arabia?, I don't think they have done that, so why would they have a stadium on there mind to attack, even if they are in war they can't just attack a stadium that do not have only the country they're aiming for but players who come from more than five to six different countries, so is going to be another problem but however for safety purposes they might as well postponed matches if the tension has not calm and besides people are getting scared of traveling to any middle East countries at the moment because of how unsafe is becoming, however the war shouldn't get to were they have to depend on United States to defend them.

There is no doubt that Al hilal has a good chance of winning this match. Al najma is not a team that is on par with Al hilal in terms of strength. previously, Al Nassr and Al Ahli also defeated Al-Najma by a large margin. so I think Al-Hilal will do the same in today's match. at least 3 goals will likely be scored in this match.

It’s the 66th minute in the game and Al Hilal are leading with one goal to none, also Al Najma git a red card in the first half…they’re currently playing with ten but Al Hilal have really surprise me to not have scored many goals by now.

The match between Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad will still be a difficult one to predict. although I believe Al-Ahli is in better shape at the moment, Al-Ittihad cannot be underestimated. therefore, I might prefer not to favor either team in this match.

Al Ahli are the better side, currently leading with two goals to one…they scored one goal in the first half to take the lead but Al Ittihad got a penalty in the second half to equalize and they then scored another one just eight minutes later. Al Ahli are still favorites.

I hope CR7 didn’t just enter his private jet alone from Riyadh and fly to Spain with only his family. I hope he took some players along with him as well, because most of those players wouldn’t be in that league if not for his influence. He was the ambassador who brought them there, so I hope he is also being a good ambassador by helping them out for the time being. This moment is the right time to be selfless!! The Saudi region is unstable, he should find a way to help others before they get stuck and get hurt.

Yes, if Ronaldo really leaves Saudi Arabia, I also hope the same as you, because it would be a pity if Ronaldo's teammates who come from outside Saudi Arabia had to be left behind when a hot conflict is happening there. But I just found out more news about this,, many said that the news of Ronaldo leaving Saudi Arabia was a hoax or a lie. Because Ronaldo is also currently still tied to a contract with Al Nasr, so it is impossible for him to leave Al Nasr without clear confirmation from the team.

So therefore we do not need to assume too far about this, because Ronaldo's departure is really uncertain. And besides,, talking about the match in the Saudi Arabian league, last night Damac played against Al Riyadh and the result was Damac won with a score of 3-0. So currently Al Riyadh is in the relegation zone and that is clearly a bad thing for them. Because in the previous season, Al Riyadh was actually able to perform better and they also finished in a pretty good position,, so I hope that this season Al Riyadh can also bounce back.

Damac Club played very well against Al-Riyadh football team and the reason was they did 3 goals in this match and opponent team did no goal in this match..Okita was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 35 minutes of the match and he gave good start to his team and opponent team tried to make match interesting but they could not successful in their mission. Vada was a person who did second goal of the match in the second half of the match and he did this goal at 53 minutes of the match when it was need of the team. Al-Riyadh team should try to do goal in the first half of the match and if they became successful to do goal in the first half of the match then it was possible they could win this match one handed. Hawsawi role was also Crutial in this match because he did last goal in the 60 minutes of the match and he did this goal when team were Trying to do goal for their teams .

[Abdulzuruku01]

It’s the 66th minute in the game and Al Hilal are leading with one goal to none, also Al Najma git a red card in the first half…they’re currently playing with ten but Al Hilal have really surprise me to not have scored many goals by now.

The match have ended and Al Hilal added three more goals, making it 4-0. K. Benzema scored a brace, Malcom scored one and Savic netted the final goal. Al Hilal currently have the same points with Al Nassr. Al Ahli showed good performance as they defeated Al Ittihad 3-1. Honestly I'm not happy with Al Ittihad weak performance this season, I'm expecting them to do much better, especially against the top teams but their performance is getting embarrassing. Al Nassr match is tomorrow against Neom, Al Ahli have won theirs which helped them to returned to the top in the standing, Al Nassr must need to win to top the league. Saudi professional league is challenging this season because honestly as it now I'm not confident to points on the team that will lift this league.

The results of these two matches were in line with your predictions, friend. Because the result was Al Hilall managed to defeat Al Najma with a very convincing score of 4-0. Meanwhile, in the match between Al Ahli and Al Ittihad,, Al Ahli managed to become the winner with a final score of 3-1. So,, with the results of these matches, Al Hilal now has the same points as Al Nasr, while Al Ahli is currently the leader of the Saudi Arabian League standings.

So with that,, Al Nasr's match tonight is really very important for them. Because if they lose tonight's match, it is clear that Al Ahli will be the leader of the standings temporarily, and that clearly must not happen. Because Al Ahli is currently performing quite well and they will not be like Al Hilal, who often makes mistakes. Therefore, Al Nasr tonight must win if they want to return to the top of the standings again.

It seems to me that Al Ittihad is no longer in contention for the championship. They are severely weakened after the departure of Benzema, and recently they have suffered some heavy defeats. And congratulations to Al Ahli. They have maintained their no.2 position, despite playing against a tough opponent. A draw would have pushed them to second position, behind Al Hilal. Al Nassr will be up against NEOM today, and if they wins they will be at no.1 with 64 points. The gap between them and Al Ahli is just 2 points, and Al Hilal is 3 points behind Al Nassr. But the main issue for Al Nassr is Ronaldo's injury. He is likely to miss a few matches.

IDK exactly when the points chase between Al-Ahli & Al-Nassr started, but I've been watching it since the last 3 matchdays. Today Al-Ahli managed to get full points when facing Al-Ittihad, this was an important win because Al-Ahli got it from one of the strong contenders for the SPL title.

Al-Nassr also have a match today, against team in the top 10 of the standings. Judging by the bookmakers odds, this should be an easy match for Al-Nassr, as they have crucial objective in this match.

[Webetcoins]

There are three teams at the top all within just three points. Al Nassr is leading right now that is true and good for them for leading in such a tight race, but at the same time they are not really looking like they are doing a fine job at the moment of taking the lead by force, like they are not dominating, so anything could happen and we could see them not do that great on the long run.

I guess we have to wait and see how the weeks go to see if Al Nassr would have a chance to win the title.

If Al Nassr wins their game, they will be ahead with two points as they are currently a point below Al Ahil, this has brought some tension in the Saudi league as we are no longer sure about who now has a better chance among this two as they keep switching position at the top of the table too often, I was solidly behind Al Nassr with all hopes this is going to be their season but at this point, I think I will just keep an open mind to it.

Al Nassr has twice as many points (61 to 32) as their opponent and is playing at home, so I'm not surprised that the odds are so one-sided. Maybe even +27% looks favorable. The only thing that concerns me is the war in that region, whether it directly or indirectly influences the odds and adds randomness. Unfortunately, Ronaldo will not play because he is recovering from a leg injury, although many say that he simply does not want to take risks

I think this is true that ongoing war has some serous impacts on all over the world. Bu according to the situation of war there are many countries which are calling their people's back to their countries till the war has not a proper ceasefire. And by having the same scenario there is a possibility that many players left the Saudi Pro league or the country till they don't get a satisfied or safe environment. Because the war has a great intensity which can effect the all with every perspective. And I think if this happens some teams can get benefit from this as they get a time to prepare themselves in a great way which is beneficial for them to achieve their target goal. And the team should prepare for them to get their desired results.

I didn't expect the competition for the top spot to become even more intense with the arrival of Al-Ahli. al-Ahli can now be said to be putting up even more of a fight than Al-Hilal. Even defeating Al-Ittihad seems like no big deal at all for Al-Ahli.

Al-Nassr absolutely cannot afford to lose today. although Al-Nassr will reportedly be playing without Cristiano Ronaldo for a few weeks, I believe the depth of Al-Nassr's squad is still stable enough and they will be able to maintain their good performance. Facing Neom SC might not be too difficult, but in the SPL, I no longer want to underestimate teams that are considered average.

Al-Nassr should win this game otherwise they will see Al-Ahli sharing the same number of points with them if Al-Nassr match against Neom will end with a draw. Of course a defeat will mean a disaster and a victory means staying safe for another round at least.
Al-Nassr players made several attempts but they weren't that effective. There is  like 20 minutes left in the game and Al-Nassr should score at least a goal to win.

There are only 7 minutes left now. Honestly, this Al Nassr team doesn't seem to take winning the title very seriously. Today they had everything to win the game comfortably because the opponent isn't very strong, and a team at the top of the table fighting for the title wouldn't waste points. In my opinion, I believe the title will be won by Al Ahli Saudi or Al Hilal, but one thing seems very clear to me: Al Nassr will not win the title.

[bitgolden]

Al Nassr will need to win the game no matter what, that part is true and obvious, but we also need to be careful about the fact that Al Nassr could eventually lose a game and when that happens it is not going to be easy for them at all.

The situation is very difficult for them and the return is very dangerous. So, if they do end up losing any games, we are going to face them with something that is not going to be easy at all. We should hope for a better situation for them at the next games until they win.

At last Al Nassr scored in injury time and claimed all 3 points. Mohamed Simakan rescued Al Nassr if not they nearly played draw which would have been very problematic for them since Al Ahli Jeddah and Al Hilal are chasing after them relentlessly. Neom is not a serious team but i wonder how they gave Al Nassr headache in this match. Al Nassr must continue winning all their matches if they really want to win the Saudi Pro League because if they lose points at this time and any of Al Hilal or Al Ahli Jeddah moves to the top, that will be the end of it because Al Nassr may not top the table again.

Looks like Ronaldo's injury is giving some headache to Al Nassr. In the absence of Ronaldo, it was João Félix and Sadio Mané who lead the attack, along with Abdullah Al Hamdan. But they were unable to score any goals. But the most important point, as you mentioned is that Al Nassr received full points from this match and they maintained the 2 point gap with Al Ahli. It may change during next round, as Al Ahli will be facing a tough opponent (Al Qadisiyah), while Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be facing relatively weak opponents. Al Nassr will play against Al Khaleej, while Al Hilal is up against Al Fateh.
