Its the question we made to us all this months or lets said years now, no other team is so strong like Al Hilal in this league, we already discused this but both Al Nassr and Al Itihad are not in the same league of Al Hilal, Al Hilal play a top tier football and is super dominant.

So far only 2 teams have never been defeated Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr well, it is likely that competition will occur between these two teams like last season it's just that we haven't seen anything impressive from Al-Nassr because out of 5 matches they only won 3 times while Al-Hilal won all the matches by scoring 16 goals.
Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have always competed for the title in the last few seasons, although in the end Al-Hilal always managed to beat Al-Nassr in the title race. I see that this season, it is likely that both clubs will continue to compete tightly to win the league title this season. Therefore, it is worth waiting for who will be the winner between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr at the end of the season.
I wouldn't call what is happening there now competition because there is no competition there. Al Hilal have dominated the Saudi Arabia Legue the same way PSG have dominated the French Lig 1. Last season they prevailed against all the clubs and this season they are already going unbeaten while the supposed challenger, Al Nassr are not even in the second position in the table. Therefore, I did not see any competition in the SPL this season and in the few seasons to come unless there is some remarkable changes in the clubs.
When a team has no rival there is no excitement. Al-Hilal have almost consistently held the top position over the past few years with their points tally always far ahead of the rest. Viewers don't have much interest in the tournament if no one can compete with them. Al-Nassr is considered to be the biggest rival to Al-Hilal. But what is the position of the team Al-Nassr? and Where is Al-Hilal? A question may arise while looking at this point. In this concern it should not be assumed because Al-Ittihad cannot be ignored in any way. Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr are now Al-Hilal's biggest rivals but Al-Nassr is far behind. To make the team stronger, there must be changes in players. If a good team can be formed then surely there can be a competitive fight.

Yes it is true that the Saudi league is becoming one sided, only one team wins the title every season the rest are not able to win. Since Al-Hilal are equally strong in all aspects, no team can properly compete against them, which is why they play aggressively against any team on the field. Among the other clubs in Saudi Arabia, Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad tried their best but finished second or third every season. However, they could never keep pace with Al-Hilal in the title race, which led to Al-Hilal dominating their opponents to win the title every season. As the Saudi club owners are spending a lot of money on players, they should buy more quality players and build a strong team to compete with Al-Hilal.

I am not saying that Ronaldo is their problem. But I think that Al Hilal has a far more balanced team. Their defense was by far the best and regardless of Ronaldo scoring so much for Al Nassr, Al Hilal still scored one goal more than Al Nassr in total. They had about the same strength in attack, but Al Hilal conceded about half as many goals as Al Nassr. That is why bringing in great strikers is all nice, but the balance was neglected. Al Hilal may not have a Ronaldo in their attacking line, but they have several good defenders.
Of course, Ronaldo isn't a problem for Al Nassr. He already showed big contributions for Al Nassr. It is strange if there are people who claimed Ronaldo is a problem.  Roll Eyes  Yes, the defense line is one of the problems in Al Nassr team. If we analyzed the total conceded goals in the last season, it is clear that Al Nassr defense is weaker than Al Hilal. But I think the defense line isn't the only problem, Al Nassr also has no a player who can be an attacking control or a mastermind player in building every attack. Al Nassr should have a player like De Bruyne, Modric, Kross, or Martin Ødegaard. These players have a role to control the game and deliver any assist accurately. They also function to open spaces for strikers to score goals.

Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr have always competed for the title in the last few seasons, although in the end Al-Hilal always managed to beat Al-Nassr in the title race. I see that this season, it is likely that both clubs will continue to compete tightly to win the league title this season. Therefore, it is worth waiting for who will be the winner between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr at the end of the season.
Al Hilal wasn't quite strong in the season 2022-2023. The competition for the title between Al Hilal and Al Nassr just began in the last season (2023-2024). Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, Al Shabab, and Al Nassr look the be some candidates for the title this season. But it seems Al Hilal is still the strongest one, meanwhile Al Nassr looks more difficult to compete for the title. I think it is no longer the season for Al Hilal vs Al Nassr, there are many other teams to join the race. However, I think there are 3 teams to compete for the title until the end of the season. They are probably Al Hilal, Al Ittihad, and Al Nassr. Let's see which one can perform more consistently in this season.

Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad vs Al Nassr

Don't rush to say something that is a little unreasonable in my opinion. Indeed in Kuga Pro Saudi they are superior and very difficult to beat, but are you sure if they are already at a different level and even the same as the teams in Europe? I think they are not at that level yet. I don't mean to underestimate at all, but if it's a comparison of European teams I think it's not comparable.
We all know that the Saudi Pro League is not a very competitive and more popular league, so that will be a problem for them too. While the league in Europe we know is the "mecca" of world football, so it can be said that they are at a different level. Once again I'm not underestimating, I'm just saying what I see from my perspective.
So far only 2 teams have never been defeated Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr well, it is likely that competition will occur between these two teams like last season it's just that we haven't seen anything impressive from Al-Nassr because out of 5 matches they only won 3 times while Al-Hilal won all the matches by scoring 16 goals.

Therefore, it is worth waiting for who will be the winner between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr at the end of the season.
Need improvement if Al Nassr wants to be above Al Hilal, because what they show now still can't make them compete with Al Hilal tightly, precisely when they meet to beat each other, Al Nassr is always a team that has to achieve unsatisfactory results, that's what ultimately makes them unable to be better. Even when they face a team that is weaker on paper, sometimes they have to accept defeat which makes them move away from Al Hilal.
They do some ways, including bringing in a new coach, but for now I haven't seen any significant improvement that they can show. Maybe their new coach needs more time to find the best formula.

Although Al Nassr has been in the 2nd position for the past few seasons, they have repeatedly tried and failed to take the 1st position. Even though they are currently in the 3rd position this season, when a match is won by them, it creates a different feeling among the fans. When Al Nassr wins, his supporters win just like Ronaldo wins. Al Nassr won 2-0 against Al Wehda in the last match, which they desperately needed at this moment to fulfill their dream. The gap between 1st,2nd and 3rd placed teams is 1 point each. Everyone hopes that Al Nassr will perform well in the next match. Ronaldo is getting back into form and hopefully he will score in the next match as well. The team tries hard to surpass Al Hilal, the best team of the moment.



Al Nassr has only one opponent that always gives them trouble when they play against them and they lose. No matter how well Al Nassr has been playing, Al Hilal aren't that easy to defeat, Al-Wehda wasn't a challenge for Al nassr as they didn't pose any threat to Al Nassr. Al nassr played very well and Ronaldo scored in the game but it wasn't an open play goal but a penalty. He needs to score open play goals to show that he's back as penalties aren't going to be coming always to him. Al Nassr has another game today and it's in the AFC Champions League against Al Rayyan. Al Nassr should be winning this game with ease and hopefully Ronaldo scores.

Al Hilal is so strong, it seems like they deserves to be in a more competitive league, in fact if in any time the "superliga" was amde with teams from other locations outside europe, i really think Al Hilala is gonna be one of that teams. THey are winning everything here with ease. And the otehr teams keep buying and buying more and more players without any sucees.

indeed Al-hilal is a strong club and of course in terms of its ability there is no need to doubt it and of course Al-hilal has also won the Asian Champions League title and of course Al-hilal is the club that has won the most Asian Champions League titles, namely Al-hilal has already won the Asian Champions League title 4 times and indeed I also think the same as you that Al-Hilal will certainly now be able to compete with top European clubs and I also remember that Al-Hilal once played against Real Madrid in the final during the Club World Cup in 2023 and of course at that time the score was 5-3 for Real Madrid to win.

So indeed I agree with your opinion that Al-Hilal is truly extraordinary, the proof is that they were able to compete in the Club World Cup at that time and of course we will prove how strong Al-Hilal is for the next Club World Cup.


By the way, in the next match we will see Al-hilal against Al-ahli and of course in that match I predict that Al-hilal will have great potential to win that match, what do You think.?

Cristiano Ronaldo has played for various clubs in Europe during his long football career and he has performed very well for the clubs he has played for. But the last time he joined Manchester United, he did not perform well due to which Manchester United released him and at that time he was forced to come to Saudi League without any club in Europe.
His time at Manchester United when he returned has two parts. The first part is his first season for them, that is good with many goals but no title. The second part is his second season for them, that began very badly and his relationships with both Ten Hag and the club broken very quickly from the summer preseason months and early weeks of season. Then they separated and Cristiano did not find any offer from big clubs in Europe. I believe main reasons is his high desire and requests, so big clubs did not give him good offers in salary and did not want to guarantee a position for him in their squad. If Cristiano was more humble, accept that he has to play between a main player and a substitution, he can stay in Europe at a big club, of course with a lower salary.

Quote
No one could have imagined that Ronaldo would come to the Saudi league, but when he came to the Saudi league, many players followed him and a lot of money was offered to different European players.
It happened and he played well there, scored many goals, and receive lucrative salary from Al-Nassr. When he played for his national team, we can see impacts of age on his performances that are not excellent like he was younger but not too bad.

Al Nassr secured a big 2-0 victory in the last match where Ronaldo, one of the stars of the team, managed to score a penalty. Al Nassr are always favorites against Al-Wehda and it must be said that they performed well against this team to win. We didn't see Cristiano Ronaldo in the XI in the previous match but he was one of the members of the XI in the last match and he contributed to the team's victory by scoring a goal. We got to see his iconic celebration after a long time. As long as Ronaldo is involved with football, I hope he will always be smiling and keep scoring goals regularly when the team needs it
In fact, Ronaldo is one of the best players of all time and he always tries to give his best in whatever club he plays for. Currently, he is performing well for Saudi club Al Nassr despite his age. Cristiano Ronaldo was left out of the squad ahead of the match against Al Wehda mainly due to his illness. When Al Nassr appointed a new coach for the fourth time in their team, the coach Stefano Pioli gave him a temporary break due to Ronaldo's illness. After returning from the break, Ronaldo scored a stunning penalty goal to play a key role in his team's victory.

Moreover, the team that Al Nassr faced is basically very weak as the team has won only one match and managed to draw one match out of five matches and lost all the remaining matches and is placed 16th in the standings. Against such a weak team, it is natural for a strong Al Nassr team to perform well.

But the big positive thing for Al Nassr in the last match was that this game was held at their home ground so they performed well in this match and won the team.

Maybe he just noticed this League and thought something was too much, no need to talk about Europa League even for Asian Champions League they lost in the final this means that the Saudi Pro League is still below the European leagues. Maybe some people disagree but that is a fact that we saw last season, so there is no need to compare it with other leagues unless one of the teams from this league manages to win the Asian Champions League.

So far only 2 teams have never been defeated Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr well, it is likely that competition will occur between these two teams like last season it's just that we haven't seen anything impressive from Al-Nassr because out of 5 matches they only won 3 times while Al-Hilal won all the matches by scoring 16 goals.

Looking at the statistics from the sources below makes me tempted to bet on those 2 matches. Looking at the opportunities that Al Shabab has to face Al-Raed, it seems that Al Shabab has a 60% chance of defeating Al-Raed. On one hand, Al Shabab consistently applies pressure on Al-Raed's defense, which weakens the mentality of the defensive players.

Meanwhile, in the match between Al Taawon and Al-Ettifaq, I also see that Al-Ettifaq could put up a fight to end the game in a draw. Although Al Taawon is heavily favored based on H2H records, both teams are nearly equal in current performance, and Al-Ettifaq consistently tries to apply pressure on Al Taawon, even though they face some difficulties. So I tried to bet on a draw in this match with quite decent odds.

Al Shabab vs Al-Raed
Al Taawon vs Ettifaq



You are lucky today. your predictions in the 2 matches were accurate. congratulations.
I was also lucky in the two matches. Al Shabab won 2-1 over Al-Raed. and I bet BTTS for the Al Taawon vs Al-Ettifaq match.

I think the Al Taawon and Al-Ettifaq match is more interesting. both teams tend to have the same quality. I am not sure enough to bet 1x2. A draw like your bet is very good, but I bet on BTTS. the final result almost made me frustrated, with the superior number of players Al Ettifaq also had difficulty scoring goals. until the goal finally came in the last minute of the second half.
Luck is on our side, bro. Wink
Yep, it's true that Al Taawon could have actually won and it made me worry for a moment that Al-Ettifaq might not be able to score because after Al Taawon scored once, they focused more on defense. However, after Flávio received a red card, I felt very relieved and had high hopes for Ettifaq to equalize the score, and it all happened in an impressive last-minute turn of events.

Regarding Al Shabab's ability to defeat Al-Raed, it was actually predictable from the start of the match that Al Shabab had a great chance to secure 3 points from Al-Raed. From the statistical data I provided above, it is evident that the attacks were predominantly carried out by Al Shabab. So I am very bold in taking the risk of betting on 1x2.

Al Shabab vs Al Raed was really lucky match for Al Shabab because they could get the advantage with the presence of Al Raed players who got red cards and had to play with 10 players, if this match Al Raed still played with intact players maybe the chance for draw would really happen.
Indeed Al Shabab could dominate the game but Al Raed also managed to create several very good opportunities that even allowed them to match Al Shabab game and the game pattern changed significantly in the Ak Raed squad after they lost one of their players.

In the match between Al Taawon and Al Ettifaq itself, it was clear that all the advantages belonged to Al Taawon but they also had to suffer with the obstacle of having players who had to leave because they got red cards, haha ​​these two matches were really surprising and quite dramatic.
Initially I thought Al Taawon could maintain their advantage and win but in the end Al Ettifaq was able to create an equalizer which made the final score 1 - 1.

The UEFA is so far ahead that no matter what they do in the Asian area, they won't close the gap at all for the next five decades. Only if a dozen states decide to take tons of money and pimp their national leagues. But they would still have to convince South American and European players to go there. It's not enough to get some almost retired players like Ronaldo and some money grabbers. They would need the next Messi, Mbappe, Modric, Zidane, Robben, Ribery, Maldini, Buffon etc. That's when people from all over the world would start watching those games on a regular basis. Now it was only short term hype because of Ronaldo.
Saudi Professional League are building and it's not true to say they will fail. They need to do more especially things in youth academies to grow up their home grown talented players who will be future of the league and their national team. If Saudi Arabia can invest into their youth academies better and in long term, they can get massive success like Japan. We knew that Japan started their ambitious plan with a Brazilian player Zico and after about 3 decades, we can see how their Japanese League 1 and Japanese player quality are now. Their league is one of best, or can say the best in Asia continent and Japanese players now can play at world class level and are key players in big clubs too.
Long-term planning is essential for a country to improve its football. Otherwise there is no improvement. The importance given to football by the Saudi Professional League is undoubtedly commendable. They have already shown their love for football to the whole world. Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in football, especially in foreign players. I would agree with you that if they look at their country's youth football academies and play a role in producing good players then their league will be much better. Eligibility of not only foreign players but domestic footballers will improve football in real sense. When national team football gets stronger, their league football will also get better. If those who are successful today follow those countries and keep their focus on football then surely Saudi can hold a worthy place in the world of football.

Cristiano Ronaldo was also in a very good form last season as he scored the most number of goals in the Saudi Pro League but it didn't stop his team from losing the league title to Al Hilal.  The problem of Al Nassr isn't Cristiano Ronaldo and the earlier they start winning games especially against big teams like Al Hilal that they failed to beat last season the better for them in their quest to win a major title this season

I am not saying that Ronaldo is their problem. But I think that Al Hilal has a far more balanced team. Their defense was by far the best and regardless of Ronaldo scoring so much for Al Nassr, Al Hilal still scored one goal more than Al Nassr in total.

Al Nassr are always favorites against Al-Wehda and it must be said that they performed well against this team to win. We didn't see Cristiano Ronaldo in the XI in the previous match but he was one of the members of the XI in the last match and he contributed to the team's victory by scoring a goal. We got to see his iconic celebration after a long time. As long as Ronaldo is involved with football, I hope he will always be smiling and keep scoring goals regularly when the team needs it

Ronaldo has always been a player who has a very high scoring instinct even though he is no longer young, besides that we can see how he is able to become the top scorer in every club and also the league where he plays, al nassr failed to win the championship trophy last season but individual achievements still belong to Ronaldo, last season al nassr failed to win the league trophy but in fact he still brings a little pride to al nassr fans after winning the award as the top scorer in the league.

But even so I tend to agree with the perspective from @tiCeR which is indeed a team is required to have balance in every line of their squad to win the championship trophy, al nassr has good support in the front line in scoring goals with Ronaldo, Talisca and also Mane, but when they lead in a match, precisly the defense often a weakness which finally makes them have to throw away that the victory, But now slowly Pioli may be able to balance the Al Nassr squad, because after all, the strategy of the coach is also an important role for a team to achieve and maintain victory.

Despite his age, Ronaldo is still a striker with a typical high scoring instinct. Even if Al Nassr did not win any silverware last season, Ronaldo put in a great shift by lifting the top scorer crown, made the fans proud.

On the other hand, as @tiCeR said, balance is very important to win the title. Al Nassr has a powerful offense with Ronaldo, Talisca, and Mane. Still, weak defense, frequently tends to nullify their goals.

Saudi sees football as a promising investment opportunity, a vision to reduce their dependence on oil. The move to build the Saudi Pro League by recruiting former top European players like Ronaldo is a genius effort, they will not lose by doing so. Likewise with the recruitment of other former top European players, simply put, their efforts must have gone through a very mature calculation stage before investing. With abundant financial strength, I think the Saudi Pro League will develop into one of the competitive and interesting leagues to follow, especially for the Asian region.

Personally, I see them succeeding, even the PIF has started to acquire top European clubs like Newcastle. This indicates that they have sufficient finances to maintain their existence in the long term. It is possible that in the future they will acquire more clubs, recruiting players and paying high salaries is an easy matter for them. Even top European clubs are now starting to have difficulty recruiting the players they are targeting, if Saudi clubs enter the competition, we know they are ready to offer crazy prices.

The fact that they are able to acquire the likes of Newcastle by PIF and former top European players and clubs shows that they can sustain their existence for a long period. Maybe in the near future they will also try to acquire more clubs to bring many top European players to RSL. With the super financial capability, Saudi can be eminently competitive in the transfer market place.

Looking at the statistics from the sources below makes me tempted to bet on those 2 matches. Looking at the opportunities that Al Shabab has to face Al-Raed, it seems that Al Shabab has a 60% chance of defeating Al-Raed. On one hand, Al Shabab consistently applies pressure on Al-Raed's defense, which weakens the mentality of the defensive players.

Meanwhile, in the match between Al Taawon and Al-Ettifaq, I also see that Al-Ettifaq could put up a fight to end the game in a draw. Although Al Taawon is heavily favored based on H2H records, both teams are nearly equal in current performance, and Al-Ettifaq consistently tries to apply pressure on Al Taawon, even though they face some difficulties. So I tried to bet on a draw in this match with quite decent odds.

Al Shabab vs Al-Raed
Al Taawon vs Ettifaq



You are lucky today. your predictions in the 2 matches were accurate. congratulations.
I was also lucky in the two matches. Al Shabab won 2-1 over Al-Raed. and I bet BTTS for the Al Taawon vs Al-Ettifaq match.

I think the Al Taawon and Al-Ettifaq match is more interesting. both teams tend to have the same quality. I am not sure enough to bet 1x2. A draw like your bet is very good, but I bet on BTTS. the final result almost made me frustrated, with the superior number of players Al Ettifaq also had difficulty scoring goals. until the goal finally came in the last minute of the second half.
