The last match was between Al-Ettifaq & Al-Qadisiyah where Al-Qadisiyah have been trying to develop themselves as well as they defeated their opponent team Al-Ettifaq with 2-0 score. They won five matches out of nine and standing at 5th position in the qualifying table with 16 points. Apart from that, 11th position goes to Al-Ettifaq with 11 points by winning three matches out of nine and their performance continuesly getting worse as they didn't even win a single from last 5 matches they played. Although they had record to defeat Al-Qadisiyah earlier in Saudi Pro League but this time Al-Qadisiyah team was more focused on their strategy as well the performance during the match, which contributed to their success. After taking the control, Gaston Alvarez able to scored first goal at 12th minutes behalf of his team Al-Qadisiyah. After that, Al-Ettifaq took several attempt but they failed to score any single goal. And another goal scored by Julian Quinones in extra minutes of 1st half, Al-Qadisiyah made Al-Ettifaq totally silence and thus 1st half end. After the start of 2nd half, both team gave their effort as well. Al Qadsiah keep going ahead with 56% dominance and their opponent keep trying a single goal as well as did many Fouls and opponent did same thing. That's why no single goal was scored from any side, the score remain same as it was in 1st half and Al Qadsiah won.

They didn't win the match and had reasons for disappointment about themselves by leading till 77th minute. They are not too far from a first winning against Al-Hilal after several direct matches between two clubs. This performance and a draw are still better than previous results with loss and big loss for Al Nassr. This good performance gives Al Nassr more confidence that they're improving and will be able to beat Al Hilal next times.

In this match I noticed one more thing, Cristiano Ronaldo made some free kick with passes for his teammates and no longer always stay in 16m5 box for head-finish chances. I guess Cristiano Ronaldo started to admit a fact that his body no longer gives him enough powerful jumps to beat defenders and he agree to take another role in his team.

They are actually improving their performance in this match but in a long season, they have to maintain it and increase performances more to collect more points from other clubs. In this season, Al Nassr will have to compete not only with Al Hilal but also Al Ittihad.

In that match, Al-Nassr did not succeed in beating Al-Hilal. But Al-nassr managed to become the first team to stop the winning streak that Al-hilal had continued to achieve since the start of the season. And it was the first draw for Al-hilal this season. Which indicates that Al-nassr's strength is at least at the same level this time as Al-hilal. So yeah, this isn't too bad and I think it's normal for many to say this draw is a pretty good result.

In this match, Al-Nassr's defense seemed to have really improved. So Al-hilal also had difficulty scoring goals. The current Al-Nassr goalkeeper, Bento, is quite reliable. He made a lot of saves and that really helped Al-Nassr not concede many goals.

Al Nassr still can't beat Al Hilal in their many meetings but this draw can't be said as a bad result at least Al Nassr can get 1 point in this match, I don't know if this is luck for Al Nassr because Talischa scored a quick goal early in the match and that was the only goal they scored and I think it was quite surprising for Al Hilal who were probably not ready to receive the goal and Al Hilal immediately replied to the goal but this time Al Nassr really guarded the defense line well and Al Hilal was able to equalize after the match had been going on for quite a long time, precisely in the 77th minute, this was progress for Al Nassr even though he didn't win, at least he was able to draw.

Yesterday's 3 matches gave results like this,

Al Taawoun vs Al Khlood (BTTS No) Loss
Al Ettifaq vs Al Qadisiyah (Al Qadisiyah win) win
Al Fateh vs Al Fayha (BTTS) win

From 3 matches only think about 2 matches between Al Taawoun and Al Ettifaq performance.
Al Taawoun should have been able to get a win without conceding because playing at home should have a more confident performance but in fact it only ended in a draw.
And Ettifaq who should have been able to provide a stronger defense at home but also failed to score anything against a team that just entered the SPL this season.

We watched the match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal and the result was that both teams had to be able to accept the reality because the result of the match ended in a draw and I see that now Al-Nassr is making progress even though they didn't beat Al-Hilal but of course they can draw against Al -hilal is of course good progress because so far Al-nassr has always lost to Al-hilal.

Talisca was the hero in that match and he scored a goal after 1 minute had passed and of course Talisca's performance has really improved and of course this is very good for Al-Nassr. but unfortunately Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score a goal, but of course even though he didn't score, I saw him playing well and he was also very instrumental in making Al-Nassr's attack a little troublesome for Al-Hilal.

Pioli has been very good so far and now Al-Nassr seems to be making progress under his tutelage and I am sure that Al-Nassr will have great potential, there will continue to be progress and of course there is still great hope for Al-Nassr to become champions this season. indeed, if you look at the difference in points, of course Al-nassr with Ittihad and Al-hilal is quite far and of course it will not be easy for Pioli's troops to shift their position, but I am sure that Al-nassr under Pioli has the potential to be able to shift the position of Al-hilal and Ittihad in end of season. provided that Al-nassr must continue to consistently win in every match from now on. What do you all think Al-Nassr can do to shift the position of Ittihad and Al-Hilal at the end of this season?

Al Ittihad without doubt will be very happy with the result of the Al Hilal vs Al Nassr game because it favored them the most as they closed the gap between them and league leaders Al Hilal to just one point. But considering the strength of Al Hilal, I think they can still establish  more points difference in few from now. Al Hilal is undoubtedly the favorites to win the league again this season but I don't think it's a guarantee for them so if Al Ittihad and Al Nassr thinks they have all it takes to fight for the league title this season, then they should do it with all confidence.

Not to belittle Al Nassr, but they were fortunate enough to avoid defeat. Despite the match that required the referee to issue 9 yellow cards for both teams, Al Nassr and Al Hilal still maintain their current unbeaten record. However, both are 6 points apart, which I think is still realistic to catch up in the future. It is true, the draw has indirectly benefited Al Ittihad. It seems that this season Al Hilal will get serious competition. Meanwhile, tactically Al Nassr has improved since the appointment of Stefano Pioli as manager. Ronaldo is too old to be relied on in every match, and today even though he played the full game he was unlucky to score.

The draw was the perfect results that Al Nassr could've gotten as anything that wasn't a draw would had been a loss and that would had been more sad. Al Nassr has always tried to play well against Al Hilal but they can't win them and I don't know why. Al Nassr almost lost the game as Al Hilal got a penalty at the last minute of the game but it was cancelled by VRA. Al hilal didn't play that serious in this game because when Al Hilal play Al Nassr, they always play them well and win them. Ronaldo couldn't do anything in this game and that's sad as I know, he would have wanted to score. Talisca got the goal in the first minute of the game but Al Nassr couldn't score more goals.

Sad thing for Al Nassr, this draw works for Al Ittihad more than it helps Al Nassr, or Al Hilal for that matter. This is what they are having problem with right now, the gap is too much and Al Hilal will not end up under Al Nassr in any situation possible. While they must be happy to get a draw finally and not lose, we are seeing a dominant difference in standings between two teams.

Al Ittihad on the other hand is playing differently, they are finally showing what they can do and they are just one point behind Al Hilal, which means a single game difference. If Al Hilal somehow ever loses a game, then Ittihad will be leading the league. In either case, we will see either Ittihad or Hilal win the league and Nassr will just end up being the third.

My prediction is that Al Hilal will continue to dominate the victory over Al Nassr, but after Talisca scored a quick goal and Al Hilal did not reply in the first half, my guess is that Al Nassr will finally be able to defeat Al Hilal. Unfortunately, Al Hilal was able to equalize in the 77th minute, Sergej Savic saved his team from defeat. As for the two strikers of this team, both Ronaldo and Mitrovic did not score in this match and even these two players did not play optimally. From the possession of the ball, it did not seem that one team dominated the course of the match, as well as the opportunities that both teams had. For the first time this season, Al Hilal was held to a draw, and even almost lost. Even so, they remain at the top of the standings, just one point away from Al Ittihad. In the Al Nassr camp, at least this result did not disappoint them too much rather than losing full points. However, it seems that Pioli needs time for his team to develop much more than before. Moreover, Pioli has homework to formulate a way to defeat Al Hilal in the away match later. Well, so far Al Hilal remains solid in its position.

Previously we could see how Al Hillal dominance over Al Nassr was huge, so in fact the draw they got in this match so far was a positive step for Al Nassr, in the past few seasons they have struggled get draw result especialy beat Al Hillal in the SPL and I think Pioli is starting to manage to change Al Nassr mentality this season, despite the draw againts Al hillal, but Pioli has shown that he can make a lot of changes to Al Nassr game at the moment, although logically it may be difficult to stop Al Hillal chances of winning this season, but in my opinion with better support in the transfer market later then Pioli is likely to be able to lead Al Nassr to the championship in his second season in coach later.

The match between Al-Nassr and Al Hilal ended in a tough competition. Al Hilal has played 9 matches in this league so far and they have drawn in the 9th match which means Al Hilal has won 100% of all the eight matches they have played before. In this competitive match, both teams performed equally on the field and neither team had a chance to lead in any direction. However, Al-Nassr managed to score an early goal against Al Hilal and this goal was definitely a bonus goal for them as they managed to get the ball into the opposition net before the players were ready. Considering this, Al-Nassr needed to score more goals but they couldn't do it. 

However, at the end of the match, Al Hilal scored a goal against Al Nasser to equalize and the game ended with this tie.

For me, Al Hilal seemed to refuse to lose in every game they played. Seeing this result and Ronaldo got a rating below 7, I remembered the words of Vincent Aboubakar after he was released since Ronaldo's arrival.
What has been happening to Al Nassr, apparently the words of Vincent Aboubakar have a point. Al Nassr will have difficulty winning the league because they sell Abouubakar because they already have Ronaldo. Even though the league is still young, I still have a hunch if Al Nassr will not win the Saudi Pro League.

Yes, I also see this result as a good result for Al Nassr and Al Hilal, because this match is a difficult match for both clubs, and even if it can be said with the meeting record and statistics of Al Nassr this season, then they are also widely discussed as having a greater chance of losing, but they can get 1 point in this match.
For some people, this result will be disappointing, but for others it is quite satisfying, because Al Nassr is no longer easily defeated by Al Hilal. once again if we look at their meeting record, then Al Hilal wins more, so this draw is quite good for Al Nassr for me.

Yesterday's prediction results and unfortunately Ittihad and Al Ahli performed less than optimally so it only ended 1-0.




And this is my prediction for today.

Al Taawoun vs Al Khlood (BTTS No)
Al Ettifaq vs Al Qadisiyah (Al Qadisiyah win)
Al Fateh vs Al Fayha (BTTS)

For me, the result is a good one for both sides. Al-Nassr played against a good side and getting one point is encouraging. It wouldn't have been a surprise if Al-Hilal won the match since they are favourites. Al-Nassr can still recover points if they play with low-rated clubs and keep fighting for the League trophy. They will also wish that any other club wins the defending champions. The league is still young, hopefully, Al-Nassr can also get some points when they travel to Kingdom Arena.     

You're great because you predicted it before, you should have made a lot of money if you bet on X in this match. And about Al-Nassr, it is true that they did not make any changes for them in the standings, but at least they can give a new color to the competition. The distance between Al-Hilal & Al-Ittihad is getting closer indicating that this competition can be even more heated

Al Hilal and Al-Nassr are not only the top teams in the points table, they are also the two best teams in the Saudi League. Al Hilal's current performance, many football fans thought that Al Hilal might beat Al Nassr. Al Nasser drew in that match with a great performance yesterday. Al Hilal football team has not lost any match in this season of Saudi Pro League. Al Hilal and Al Nassr have some of the best players in the Saudi League, including Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr. and Sadio Mane. The clubs became much stronger as these players joined Saudi League clubs.

In this Saudi Pro League match between Al Hilal and Al Nassr, both teams looked strong but Al Nasser took a one-goal lead in the first half. Al Hilal's Milinkovic Savic then scored in the 77th minute to bring the team back level. Al Hilal was able to draw in that match against Al Nassr through that goal.

I personally suspect that the result of this match will end in a draw. So I am quite happy with the results. Although actually I would have preferred to see Al-Nassr win that match. but yeah, a draw is also progress for Al-Nassr because Al-Ittihad and Ahli couldn't even hold Al-hilal to a draw. But Al-nassr they were able to do it. But unfortunately this draw only provides an advantage for Al-ittihad who are now closer to Al-hilal in terms of points. Meanwhile, there is no change at all in Al-Nassr with the distance between Al-Hilal points. It looks like this season the competition could be even fiercer.
