Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Silence Scream]

I was expecting Al Nassr to win, but not by this margin. They are on top of the points table with a 3-point gap with Al Hilal. The Goal difference now is +52 for Al Nassr, compared to +44 for Al Hilal and +32 for Al Ahli. The most important factor here is that Al Nassr managed to win without their best player (Cristiano Ronaldo). João Félix scored twice, while Ângelo Gabriel, Abdullah Al Hamdan and Ayman Yahya scored one goal each. And this bodes well for the Saudi Arabian national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup that some of their players were able to score.

I'm truly happy for Al Nassr, especially for CR7. I know the team is inspired to win for Al Nassr, and I know everyone is inspired by that. That's why I think things can finally go Al Nassr's way. While CR7 is recovering, I think the team must win everything they have left. Besides, that points advantage gives them some peace of mind, not huge, but they're building a cushion they can't afford to let slip away.

Al Nassr has opened up a 3-point lead over second-placed Al Hilal. Al Hilal is still undefeated in the Saudi Pro League but has lost its lead. They need to win every game to climb from second to first place. Their problem is that they've drawn too many games; they've drawn seven times in 26 matches.

They need to win every game to climb from second to first place. Their problem is that they've drawn too many games; they've drawn seven times in 26 matches.

As you have mentioned, Al Hilal is yet to lose a game. And that means that they were more consistent in their performance when compared to Al Nassr. Between the 11th and 15th rounds, Al Nassr performed pathetically. But overall, from the goal difference we will get the idea that Al Nassr has completely dominated the league when they were at their peak. Look at their last match. They wiped the floor with Al Khaleej, with a 5-0 win. And that was without Ronaldo, who is out for at least a few weeks due to the hamstring injury. After the match with Al Khaleej, the coach (Jorge Jesus) confirmed that Ronaldo's return will take at least a few more weeks.

In this week, Al Nassr and Al Hilal success securing three points and not change yet the current standings position behind Al Nassr keep leading the top position behind three points left with Al Hilal. Just bit change the current standings Al Ahli have dropped to 3rd standings after losing Al Qadsiah and its opportunity for Al Hilal back to 2nd place to pressure Al Nassr on the top place.

Saudi Pro Leagu ehave 8 matches left and three top teams in the race for winning the tittle between Al Nassr, Al Hilal and Al Ahli regarding third teams have few difference points on top standings. Al Nassr still has match left against Al Ahli and Al Hilal its an opportunity for three teams if want to get close become the winner this season.

Yes,, I think Al Hilal has lost its best performance, because as we know, Al Hilal often draws, and that really shows that Al Hilal's performance is not good. So, with that in mind, I don't think Al Hilal will be able to do much this season, even though they have brought in Benzema from Al Ittihad. But still,, I think if their midfielders and defenders don't work well, Al Hilal won't be able to win easily in every match.

Because in the last match,, Al Hilal had a hard time facing Al Fateh, and that is a clear sign that Al Hilal's performance is currently very poor, both in the defense and in the front line. So, with that in mind, Al Nasr must be able to take advantage of this opportunity well. Because with the remaining matches,, I think Al Nasr has a great chance to become champions. So they must stay motivated until the end of this season.

And this bodes well for the Saudi Arabian national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup that some of their players were able to score.

Al Nassr have never had problems with attacking power in three latest seasons, what they lacked is strong defense and good consistency for winning matches and collecting more total points than either Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. In this season, they have led the league in many weeks that was not what they got in latest seasons against Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Now they have 3 points more than Al Hilal, that is not too big difference but it is good enough for them to secure a first position till the ending. At least one defeat does not take away their first position while Al Nassr will must play remaining matches with as highest focus as possible.

I'm truly happy for Al Nassr, especially for CR7. I know the team is inspired to win for Al Nassr, and I know everyone is inspired by that. That's why I think things can finally go Al Nassr's way. While CR7 is recovering, I think the team must win everything they have left. Besides, that points advantage gives them some peace of mind, not huge, but they're building a cushion they can't afford to let slip away.

Cristiano Ronaldo is very old but his body is still very fit and strong but of course his speed, acceleration, flexibility are all no longer as good as it was years ago. Since his transfer to Al Nassr, he has been very professional and ambitious with his contributions for the club and it would be a perfect achievement for him with Al Nassr after all if he lifts the Saudi Professional League trophy at this season ending.

[dezoel]

The fact that Ronaldo was missing and they still had a ferry dominant victory must be upsetting Ronaldo more than it makes him happy. He is the type of egotistical player that wants all the credit to himself and because of that I think we could see him be upset when the team does better without him.

In fact, this season he missed many of the games, while he did score bunch of goals, he also missed many that they won, so when they win the league this year, he is going to be upset that he missed those games and people will just say that the team was good enough to be champions without him too, lol.

Al Nassr is still playing well, as seen in yesterday's match against Al Khaleej. In that match, I saw the Al Nassr players really perform, which is why they won 0-5 against Al Khaleej. In my opinion, yesterday's match between Al Nassr and Al Khaleej was very entertaining because we saw the Al Nassr players feast on goals. I was also impressed by Joao Felix's performance in that match, scoring two goals. If I'm not mistaken, he hadn't scored in a long time, and only yesterday did he score again for Al Nassr.

It's a shame that Al Khaleej didn't score a single goal against Al Nassr in yesterday's match because Al Nassr's defense is very strong. However, I think the rivalry between Al Nassr and Al Hilal is not over yet, and Jorge Jesus certainly needs to continue improving Al Nassr's performance because, of course, with only a three-point gap over Al Hilal, I don't think it's safe yet. I hope Al Nassr can win the trophy this season because in my opinion Al Hilal has often been champions recently.

[slapper]

It was a total destruction, the exact kind of results I expected. Al Nassir has now regained their lead by 3 points after Al Ahli lost points. Al  Khaleej started the game like they were going to win, leading attacks and twarting Al Nassir player's plans to penetrate their 18 yard box. João Felix had long wanted to register a hatrick if all his shots were allowed into the net even before the 30th minute that Alhamddan registered the first goal  Al Nassir came back and stunned Al Khaleej with 4 goals in the second half. But then, João Felix won my heart again this night. His failed bicycle kick would have probably won the goal of the tournament if it had entered. I hope Al Nassir sustains their lead until the end of the season.. This season title has to go to Christiano Ronaldo even if it means sacrificing oneself for João Felix. Congratulations to Al Nassir as they have now sit well at the top.

Three points back. Five nil. And i'm not that relaxed about it.

Al Hilal have not lost any match this entire season. And they acquired Benzema free of charge in January. People kind of moved on from that news but I haven't. He doesn't need to be fast. He never really was. He just reads the game ahead of everybody and that's exactly the profile that determines close games in April.

The match I'm more nervous about isn't even the Al Hilal match. It's the one right before it. Al Ahli just dropped points, they are frustrated. And that game has got a little pissed right, written on it somewhere. Everyone is concerned with the big derby at the end and something sneaks up on them two weeks earlier.

And then comes the one from Ronaldo and that opens a whole other thing. Because Jesus has something working right at the moment. Real flow, real movement. The team doesn't feel like waiting for one moment for one guy anymore. Slotting Ronaldo back in is going to cause some thoughts.

Al Nassr are ahead there by a fair bit and if points level out, goal difference decides it. So every big win is double work. The result this last night really helps out in ways beyond the three points.

They need to win every game to climb from second to first place. Their problem is that they've drawn too many games; they've drawn seven times in 26 matches.

I am very happy with Al Nasr's excellent performance and their consistent position. Al Nasr's position was very good at the beginning but it got worse towards the middle and seeing their position like this, everyone thought that maybe Al Nasr will not be able to win the trophy this season. But they came back and proved everyone wrong. Al Nasr's biggest rival is Al Hilal, who they left behind by a margin of 3 points. If Al Nasr can maintain this position now, then maybe no one can stop them from winning the trophy this season.

[hyudien]

Al Hilal struggled to win their match against Al Fateh, they only won by a narrow margin and I saw some players not playing well here, but even so, they still brought home 3 important points, 3 points that immediately brought them back to 2nd place in the standings and again challenged Al Nasr in the title race.

The funny thing is that!! no matter how the media or Ronaldo haters try to spin it at the end of the season, the fact remains that he was part of the team. He scored a lot of important goals that helped the team stay at the top of the table. he will also be entitled to a winners medal just like the rest of the players in the team. and if care is not taken, he might still end up as the topscorer this season because he is only 4 goals behind Ivan Toney who is at the top of the goal scroing chart. So all the dislike and hatred towards him will not change those facts on the ground

They need to win every game to climb from second to first place. Their problem is that they've drawn too many games; they've drawn seven times in 26 matches.

Al Nassr has 67 points in the standings, while Al Hilal has 64 points, which means Al Nassr is leading with three point. And in my opinion,  this points difference is not celebrating for Al Nassr to relax, because looking at Al Hilal who have not lost a single match look very strong to win Saudi Pro league trophy this season. I'm very impressed by Al Nassr performance to achieved a clean sheet against Al-Khaleej in their last match, 5-0 is a good margin. But the match that suprised me in matchday 26 was Al Ahli and Al Qadisiyah game, Al Ahli were leading by 2 goals in the first half and ended up losing three points in the dying minutes, honestly that's very embarrassing especially as they are in the title race with Al Nassr and Al Hilal.

If Al Nasr can maintain this position now, then maybe no one can stop them from winning the trophy this season.

Honestly, I also really hope that Al Nassr can win the SPL title this season. Their performance has been consistent lately and I hope they don't make mistakes that cause their position at the top of the standings to be shifted. The only team that can stop Al Nassr is Al Hilal. Initially, Al Ahli also participated in the competition but lately Al Ahli performance has not been so consistent and only Al Hilal has points very close to Al Nassr. I think Al Hilal will try to continue to put pressure on Al Nassr so that Al Nassr failed to win the SPL title but I think Al Nassr will not give up easily because their long struggle is almost over.

[Slow death]

And that was without Ronaldo, who is out for at least a few weeks due to the hamstring injury. After the match with Al Khaleej, the coach (Jorge Jesus) confirmed that Ronaldo's return will take at least a few more weeks.

Speaking about Ronaldo and his injury, throughout his career he has rarely been injured for very long. With this recent injury, it seems to me that his body may be starting to weaken and injuries may become more frequent and prolonged. The World Cup is very close and it is more likely that if he recovers in April, he will be conserving his energy to play in his last World Cup, in my opinion, due to his age.

I'm starting to think that after the World Cup, Ronaldo won't play for two seasons. Perhaps he and the Saudis will reach some kind of agreement so that he continues to give visibility to the Saudi league even without playing. Maybe they will give him shares in Al Nassr and thus he would become an owner and could continue promoting Al Nassr and the Saudi league, which has evolved a lot since Ronaldo arrived.

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of football icons and some people dislike him because he changethe mind of other player and wins wherever he goes. Many want only see he to get injured or fail so they can point the finger at him but the reality is that he will win the Saudi league and then play in his last World Cup. It is very unlikely he will win with Portugal, but at least he might finish well.
Next year Al nassr will be a leading contender in the asian champions league and will build something huge to help cr7 win this trophy, as is only right.
Then there will be a before and after Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi football, and we will see how they manage the situation.

Let us say maybe the media and Ronaldo haters probably wanted him present in all of the games before they can agree to seeing him as an eligible winner just incase they win the title, but the funny thing here is even them, they know that it is practically not possible to play in all of the games, not even their own faves does it, he scored important goals and was present when it was crucial and that's fair enough.

After the match with Al Khaleej, the coach (Jorge Jesus) confirmed that Ronaldo's return will take at least a few more weeks.

Al Hilal is undefeated to date but their numerous draws are also considered poor, leaving them three points behind Al Nassr. However, after experiencing a poor run of four consecutive matches between weeks 11 and 15 which saw them drop numerous points Al Nassr is slowly recovering. This is evident in the 12 consecutive wins they have had since that run often with clean sheets. Of those 12 matches only three were wins by conceding a single goal while the other nine were wins by clean sheets.

This indicates Al Nassr performance is recovering and Jorge Jesus has quickly found solutions bringing Al Nassr back to a positive trend. A three-point gap is still very vulnerable for Al Nassr, especially since Al Hilal has also shown improvement. The SPL trophy competition will continue to be fierce until the end of the season, and according to my predictions the Al Naase vs Al Hilal match which will be played in May will determine who will be the SPL champion this season.

Currently, Al Nassr is the best team in the league due to their superior attack and balanced defense. They have 4 clean sheets in the last 5 games, which is impressive, while Al Hilal is having 2 draws, which gives Al Nassr a 3-point lead and a chance of winning the title now with 8 games remaining in this season.

Out of 8 games, Al Nassr has 2 challenging games, first against Al Qadisiah away and then Al Hilal. These can bring some thrill; otherwise, no team is capable of giving a challenge to them for the title race. Even now, the top four have a 7-point difference, while Al Ittihad is having a terrible time, which gives them no chance of having top 4 spots, but for the title race, things are going interestingly.

After the match with Al Khaleej, the coach (Jorge Jesus) confirmed that Ronaldo's return will take at least a few more weeks.

Al Hilal was a dominating force in the first half of this season, but in the last ten games, they have 5 draws, which give them a setback. Now they are in second spot with a 3-point difference from leaders Al Nassr, but still, they are in for a challenging title race. This is the most interesting part of the Saudi League.

Al Nassr lost the services of Cristiano Ronaldo, but they did a good job against Al Khaleej, having a big win with a margin of 0 - 5 This means they are capable of playing better and staying at the top without Ronaldo.

His presence gave them good motivation, and now they are looking for the title with 8 matches remaining.
Hopefully, they will keep things at a good level. Jorge Jesus is doing a good job. This will be a challenging time for both the coach and the club, having wins and keeping distance without Ronaldo.

[el kaka22]

Al Ahli losing definitely gives Al Nassr even bigger advantage, right now Al Nassr is three points away from the closest and five points away from the third which is why it's very good situation they are in at the moment. This doesn't mean that they will not have any issues, of course they could face issues but by the looks of it we are talking about something that would be very unlikely at this moment.

I am pretty sure that they are going to do a fine job and won't be facing any trouble at all, and for that reason it's going to be very good for all that is involved as well. Ronaldo will come back as well so they are going to end up with a good squad that would be doing a fine job and should not be worried about anything any further because they will be the best.
