All this analysis will be valid if Al Hilal doesn't drop any other points while playing other teams. Their performance lacks consistency now so I won't be surprised if they drop points even though their opponents are weaker.

Chances are pretty low. Apart from the match against Al Nassr, in the remaining 5 matches Al Hillal will be facing weak opponents. So if things go as expected, they should get 16 points from the next 6 matches (I assumed that the match against Al Nassr will end up as a draw). And this is what makes it unpredictable for Al Nassr. They have three matches against very tough teams. If they conceded draws in each of these matches, then they can still pull ahead of Al Hilal. But if they lose even one match, then the equation will get really complicated and Al Hilal will get the advantage.

There is a small doubt in me that there might be a big battle of the title at the end, as Al Hilal is coming up, too. I am not so excited about Al Nasr since they have not lost a match in a long time and they can win their next 5 matches and that will assist them to win the title. Al Nasr performance and match winning ability are worth it and I also think that Al Nassr can get all these points. All Al Nassr matches are simple and out of which I suppose Al Nassr will only lose 2 matches one of them will be against Al Ahli and Al Hilal and that is why I believe that Al Nasr will lose some of their points but should Al Hilal exploit it, then it will get very bad. Al Nassr performance will not squander these points but at the same time there can be so many losses in between them in the course of the match and we must wait until that. Al Hilal too will give their best and Al Nasr is also working hard to get the title but Al Nassr stands better chances.

[Gost ms]

Yes, I think it's natural for you to feel that way, because basically, we all hope that Al Nasr can become champions with Al Nasr. But as we know, Al Hilal has always been a barrier to all of this, and that's why Al Hilal's current poor performance could be a very good opportunity for Al Nasr to become champions. Because right now, we can already see that Al Nasr is quite dominant right now. Because currently,, Al Nasr has managed to top the standings and has a fairly wide points difference with Al Hilal.

With about  a 4 points difference, I believe if maintained till the end of the season, It is going  to be a really good one  to get them the title this season, especially as a good number of persons are rooting for Al Nassr to win the title this season, they have the advantage now which they should utilise as their biggest rival is not in their best of form but in their poor form recently.

Yes, if they can finish this season like this and if they can win the trophy then it will be a great victory for Al Nasr. But I don't think that the upcoming matches will be easy for Al Nasr. Because Al Nasr's biggest rival Al Hilal is slowly coming back to form and the upcoming matches for Al Hilal are going to be much easier for Al Hilal because their opponent is very weak. If at this time Al Nasr takes the wrong step and if they make any mistake then maybe Al Nasr will have to pay two penalties for that mistake.

968 goals for the 41 old man and gradually reaching his goal of becoming the first man in football history to hit the 1000 goal tally, I wish him all the best. For now the main focus is them remaining in front. Al Hilal drew their last game of which they lost two points which gave Al Nassr an advantage of going five points clear of they win and they managed to do that yesterday, right now it five points clear after having played the same number of games. The league is in the hands of Al Nassr now and if they continue with this wonderful  display, they'll win the league this season after several years since they last won it.

The age factor in the way of his highest goal scorer doesn't matter at all for him at least. Because even at fourty plus he is energetic determine and passionate about his goal that how to achieve. And I think Ronaldo will never get retired before he not score the dream of his 1000 goals. And the number of matches and the number of goals which is left are not an easy task for Ronaldo to complete in such short time which clearly means that he will not retire after this season. Because scoring 1000 goals is a great achievement and Ronaldo will be the one who make this great record. And I think this time Al-Nassar is going to win this season after a long time in the presence of  Cristiano Ronaldo which is also a great achievement for him and the team as well. They just have to be consistent in their remaining matches.

And Al-Nasr will be playing against Al-Ettifaq tonight. I think this match will be very exciting,, and I'm confident Ronaldo will be able to score in this match. So I can't wait to see this match.

Al Nassr won Ettifaq by 1:0, it was really a tensed match because after Kingsley Coman scored in the first half they could not score a second goal again till full-time. Ettifaq gave Al Nassr a tough match which made it hard for Cristiano Ronaldo to score even after playing for 89 minutes before he was substituted. Al Nassr are now 8 points gap at the top, though they have played 29 matches while Al Hilal who is in the second position has only played 28 matches but even if they play match no.29 and win, Al Nassr will still lead them with 5 points.

You're right, Ronaldo won't retire till he achieve his aim of hitting 100 Career goals, I believe he will still extend his contract with Al-nassr because he can't score 30 plus in a single season again because of his age, he needs like two seasons to complete the circle.


The main target is to win the league title, which is very important to Ronaldo at the moment, Al-nassr are currently topping the Saudi Arabia pro league with 8 points and they have 6 games till the end of the league. I'm sure Ronaldo will reach 1000 goals before retirement.

Al Ettifaq gave Al Nasr quite a bit of trouble today. If they had quality attacking players, they might have had some good chances because they were quite able to match Al Nasr in terms of play, and their defense was also good today. Now Al Nassr can be more comfortable for one week at the top of the standings, considering Al Hilal will not play this week, but they must be careful even though they have a big lead in terms of points, their next opponent is Al Ahli, who will not be easy to beat.

AlEttifaq really showed that they can compete, especially with how organized they were defensively, but just like you said, if they had more quality in attack, they could have punished Al Nassr because the chances to hurt them were there.Al Nassr might feel a bit comfortable staying top for now, especially with Al Hilal not playing this week, but this is not the time to relax. Football can change very quickly, and that gap can close faster than expected. And facing Al Ahli next is a serious test. They are not a team you can take lightly at all. If Al Nassr don’t improve from this performance, they could easily drop points. Staying at the top now will depend on consistency, not just the lead they currently have.

That's what worries me. Al-Ahli is more dangerous for Al-Nassr than Al-Ettifaq, yet they had hard time to win over it by a single goal. Any point dropped against them will make Al-Hilal getting closer especially that their focus will be more in Saudi Pro League after being kicked from AFC Champions League and after playing the final of King Cup of Champions next week. If they won it, they might become more serious since a potential victory will boost their motivation.

The match was very tough and Al Nasr had to fight till the end to win. Although the only goal of the match was scored by Al Nasr in the 31st minute, they still had to fight till the end to secure the victory. After Al Ittefaq in the Saudi League, they will have to face another tough team, Al Ahli is a tougher opponent for them. Al Ahli may give them a tougher time than Al Ittefaq. Before that, Al Nasr will have to focus on the AFC Cup quarter-finals, Al Wast may not be an easy opponent.

That’s absolutely right, in this match, Al Ettifaq certainly played very well and their style of play seemed capable of matching Al Nassr. Of course, for the Al Nassr squad, this was a difficult match, especially since Al Ettifaq defense was quite tight, making things even more challenging. Perhaps if Al Ettifaq had better finishing, the outcome might have been different, the match could have ended in a draw or even been won by Al Ettifaq.

In their next match against Al Ahli, it will be an even tougher game, they play more consistently and are certainly stronger than Al Ettifaq, so it looks like Al Nassr will have to fight even harder if they want to win this match. For now, Al Nassr remains safely at the top of the standings.

The match turned out to be a lot more tougher for Al Nassr than anyone actually anticipated. Stake had Al Nassr at 1.12 and Al Ettifaq at 16.00. Given this, I was expecting a much more lop-sided match. With 5 more matches remaining in this season, Al Nassr now has 76 points from 29 matches. Assuming that Al Ahli and Al Hilal win their 29th round match, the gap between them and Al Nassr will be unchanged. Next match for Al Nassr is against the strong Al Ahli, on 29th April. They need to make sure that they don't lose this match. Even a draw will be fine (in case they can get a similar result against Al Hilal on 12th May).

The game was very tough and Al Nassr also did not expect the game should be that tough because of their current performance but Al Ettifaq proved that they are one of the best team in the league, if I was told that the game will be tough I will not believe but Al Nassr find a way to win the game thanks to Coman who was very smart to go for Ronaldo shot that was save and score the goal, Al Nassr are doing well in every competition and it will be a good season for Ronaldo if they play well and win more than one trophy.

Al Hilal is out of the competition and they are the favourite to win the cup because Al Ahli performance is not the same in their last two games, Al Nassr should do everything to win trophies this season because there are rumours that they are doing everything for Al Nassr to win the league when we all know how they are struggling to make sure they win the league and have one of their best season.

Seeing Ronaldo chance of winning a trophy this season is a perfectly natural excitement for any football fan. But one should not get too emotional regarding all the rumours of league match fixing. Concentrate on the beauty of the game and sportsmanship of the player on the pitch to be in a peaceful state of mind.

[Gallar]

It seems that Al Hilal have found their form again after a few poor performances in which they dropped valuable points. Now Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr must be careful not to let their performance slip and must maintain their high standard of play if they are to finally win the title. They must be attention of potential injuries and not assume the job is already done, but CR7 will be the one to keep them on focus.

I personally don't know whether Al Hilal's performance can be considered good or not. Just yesterday,, they lost to Al Sadd in the Asian Champions League. So,, for me, that's not a good thing. Basically, when Al Hilal performs well, they always play well in the Champions League and haven't lost in the round of 16 like they did recently. So, I personally don't think Al Hilal's current performance has improved. Therefore,, Al Nasr doesn't need to worry about Al Hilal at this time.

Basically,, Al Nasr is already quite far ahead of Al Hilal, namely 8 points. Last night, Al Nasr managed to beat Al Ettifaq, which makes Al Nasr even more superior now. So, I think Al Nasr is currently in a fairly safe zone. However,, Al Nasr shouldn't be complacent at this time. The season isn't over yet, and there are still matches to be played. So with that in mind,, I also feel that Al Nasr must really remain focused on the current situation until they are truly crowned as the winners of the Saudi Arabian League.

Al Nassr’s position in the standings is still far from secure despite their significant point lead over Al Hilal. Al Nassr could still be overtaken by Al Hilal if their performance drops in the coming rounds. Al Nassr must continue to fight for victory in their upcoming matches to secure the championship at the end of the season. And they must not become complacent at this point or even underestimate the opponents they will face as some of the teams they’ll face are those that have managed to defeat Al Nassr in their most recent encounters. But teams like Al Shabab or even Damac are still beatable given that Al Nassr won their most recent matchups against them. I personally believe we’ll have a clearer picture of who will be this season’s champion as the season nears its very end. And I can’t wait to see what drama unfolds next.

5 points lead with 5 matches remaining is a solid lead, IMO. Al Hilal will have an uphill task at hand, when they face Al Nassr on 12th May. If by some chance Al Hilal can win that match, then they will stay alive in the race for championship. If it either ends in a draw, or as a win for Al Nassr then the probability is that Al Hilal will remain at the no.2 spot. Also, you need to remember that Al Nassr has two very easy matches remaining. They will be facing Damac on 21st May (final match of this season), and also they will be playing against Al Shabab before that.

[$weetne$$]

Yes, if they can finish this season like this and if they can win the trophy then it will be a great victory for Al Nasr. But I don't think that the upcoming matches will be easy for Al Nasr. Because Al Nasr's biggest rival Al Hilal is slowly coming back to form and the upcoming matches for Al Hilal are going to be much easier for Al Hilal because their opponent is very weak. If at this time Al Nasr takes the wrong step and if they make any mistake then maybe Al Nasr will have to pay two penalties for that mistake.

Al Nassr won their most recent game and were able to get more three points, the win was a very slim one as they won with just a goal, but they have still been able to secure the top position on the table and are currently leading by 8 points ahead of Al Hilal that is at the second position. in as much as they have just few games to the end of the season, they still need to make sue they are able to maintain this difference to keep them at the top of the table to make their chances of wining even far more higher, the other games ahead of them they may not need to win but a draw and few win will still get them the title.

That was  a good match between Al-Nassr football team and Al-Ettifaq Club and that was one sided match because one team did 1 goal in this match and opponent team did no goal in this match. The shots of Al-Nassr football team were more in this match and these were 11 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 56 percent in this match and passes of that team were good in this match and fouls of that team were also more in this match and that was the reason they easily won this match. The shots of opponent team were only 6 in this match and one shot was on target and possession percentage of that team was 44 percent in this match and fouls of that team were less in this match which were 5 in this match.

[Slow death]

I expected to see many goals scored by Al Nassr in yesterday's game because the opponent wasn't a strong opponent; on the contrary, it was a very weak opponent that had only won 1 of their last 5 games. But Al Nassr only managed to score 1 goal. Fortunately, they didn't concede any goals and thus won the game. But this could also raise a big red flag. Because a team playing at home only manages to score 1 goal against a weak opponent, it could mean that their attackers are weak, and this weakness could extend to the next games.

Al Nassr's next opponent has only lost twice in the 28 games they've played and also has a good defense, having conceded 20 goals. So if Al Nassr's attack fails, they'd better strengthen their defense so that they at least come away with a draw. Their next opponent is in 3rd place and is still fighting for the title. It won't be an easy game; if Al Nassr manages to win, then they'll be one big step closer to winning the title.
