Saudi Arabia has indeed invested heavily in many sports fields, but the one that has received the most attention and its popularity has increased rapidly is in the field of football and all of this cannot be separated from the clubs which are under the continuous ownership of PIF bought many star players from Europe and America. But its popularity started when Al-Nassr managed to get Cr7's signature. Since then we have started to see many countries also broadcasting the SPL. Even though previously this didn't happen, after Critiano Ronaldo came to Al-Nassr, the SPL started to get attention from world football fans.

And in the following seasons other clubs also started to bring more European football stars here. In fact, I was surprised because at that time Benzema, who had just left Real Madrid, immediately joined Al-ittihad and then Neymar also came to Al-hilal. It's just that Neymar's fate was quite unlucky because he immediately suffered an injury at the start of the season when he joined Al-Hilal. Even though the injury he received was not while defending Al-Hilal, it was still very unfortunate. Neymar had time to play again this season with Al-Hilal but unfortunately it didn't last long because he was injured again.

Well, last night Al-Nassr managed to get full points again with quite impressive results even though at the start of the match they were 1 goal behind. But the most important thing is the final result.

Today we will also see the Al-ahli vs Al-Shabab match which I think will be quite fierce. Last season Al-ahli was quite surprising because he immediately competed in the top 4 at the start of his promotion to the SPL. This season Al-Qadisiyah also made the same achievement, namely competing in the top 4 at the start of their promotion to the SPL. But that's not surprising because these two teams also have many European football star players in their squad.

It is a penalty but penalty is so much pressure with many players who fail on this spot. Cristiano Ronaldo by prolonging his career and playing nearly all minutes of each match, is amazing man and player. Watching how he runs on field, we can easily see his strength and feel about his ambition and professionality, as it's not easy to be on field and run like him when a player is nearly 40.

This win temporarily helps Al Nassr to take over the third position and it's good for them. Look at a wider picture, Al Nassr has too many draws in this season, 4 draws so far while they don't get too many defeats, only 2 losses. Their two main competitors Al Ittihad and Al Hilal have 1 loss so far, and those drawn matches affect Al Nassr rank in Saudi Professional League. They need to avoid draws in future by avoid conceded goals, and secure their goalkeepers better to enhance their weakness in defense.

Al-Nasr star Sadio Mane responded to recent criticism with a brilliant performance against Al-akhdood, leading Al-Nasr to victory in the 14th round of the Roshan League on Thursday evening.
this was Mane's second double this season for Al-nasr he had previously scored twice in a 3-0 win over Al-Arouba in the 6th round of the roshan-league.
with the performance, Mane has now scored five goals in the Roshan League this season, while also providing five assists in 14 games.
In total the Senegalese star has scored seven goals in 24 matches for Al-nasr in various domestic and asian competitions.
This performance came despite calls for Mane to leave in the January transfer window and be replaced by a new foreign player.

It is quite surprising to see the performance of the Al Qadsiyah club this season after undergoing a 3-season relegation period in division 1, but this season after he was promoted again he immediately showed extraordinary momentum by competing with the strongest clubs in the Saudi League, but I don't think he can win the Saudi League because Al Ittihad and Al Hilal are still very strong to compete for the SPL title, but I think Al Qadsiyah can finish in the top 3 at least to get a ticket to the ACL competition.

Yeah, it's 4 points gap and there's still enough time for Al Hilal to meet up, if only they'll maintain a good form, Al Ittihad have been impressive this season anyways, they mean business and are working really hard to see that the tittle is secured. Well, they have Nassr and Hilal to contend with so they have to be careful cause there's much time for those other teams to close the gap. Anyways, due to my undying love for Cristiano Ronaldo my favourite club in this league still remains Al Nassr, they're not in the position i expect them to be but i love that they're fighting hard as one of the top contenders, they're currently 8 points behind Al Ittihad the leading team and 4 points behind Hilal, the gap is not very much therefore if they keep winning and don't lose or draw for a certain period, i think there's chances of them closing the gap, it won't be easy though but then January has graced them with the opportunity to buy players from top european clubs and i believe they should be working on one or more deals.

• Al Ettifaq vs Al Khlood (Ettifaq win)
• Al Raed vs Damac (Damac win)
• Al Ahli vs Al Shabab (Al Ahli win)

Please be careful when choosing to bet on the second match. A draw still has a big chance for both teams. However, I will choose Damac as the winner because I hope that a surprise will be on their side.
And in the first and third matches, I have confidence that the favorite team can get full points.

As the points difference between Al Hilal and Al Ittihad is not much and these two teams are moving forward almost equally, so I can say that maybe one of these two teams will secure the title at the end of the season. They have competed well so far and if they can do this consistently then we may have to wait until the last match of the season to see which of these two teams wins the league title. I have more confidence in Al Hilal because this team is already strong and again important players are coming back from injury. Besides Al Hilal, Al Ittihad or Al-Nassr, if some other teams buy quality players from Europe and return well to the competition, the popularity of this league will increase.

To be able to become a "team" that's what differentiates them from others. Of course they are a good and talented bunch of players, but that doesn't mean that we are seeing other talented teams play like a team, we are seeing them do differently and that is why I believe that we are not seeing how Al Hilal is doing, they will probably be the title winners again, I know Al Ittihad may too, but I expect Al Hilal to be the one again and because of that betting on them is easier.

Of course this may take a while but we need to just realize the difference and have some sort of situation changing this up. Seeing how things could change, Al Nassr wants to do better, specially for next season, but this year too, so they are willing to offer a huge amount of money to Casemiro this January window, it would help them and it would make it possible for all of these things to happen again.

They realized the potential they had, so they started doing something that could make them better known, one of which was by allocating a lot of money to get famous players. That was one of the most effective things because bringing in many famous players from Europe would boost their popularity and it proved successful.
The financial advantages they have must be utilized well, but they should not rely on this forever, they also have to make new breakthroughs to remain known but no longer with the same approach (with money).

Saudi Arabia is a very self-sufficient country economically. Previously, there were restrictions on many things in Saudi Arabia. Currently, the Saudi Prince has made some new plans to make Saudi Arabia a familiar face in the entire world. Among them, the Saudi Professional Football League is one of the things in his plan. And he has chosen Cristiano Rolando as the biggest crown in that plan. Because he knew how popular Cristiano Rolando is all over the world and I think his decision was timely. Since Cristiano Rolando arrived in Saudi Arabia, the popularity of the Saudi Football League has reached the people of Europe.

Cristiano Rolando's team Al Nassr won the last match for 3 to 1 goals. Keep it up, Cristiano Rolando. Al Nassr easily won the match today. They face Al Akhdoud today and this game between them has already been 90+2 minutes.

People want to see CR7 winning SPL trophy with Al Nassr. The reason is simple, it is because CR7 is the best player in the world. People are always curious about CR7 wins the trophy with Al Nassr. It makes sense, people want CR7 proves his quality. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as people think, the trophy can't be achieved by a single player. It is a teamwork, the efforts of all players.

Exactly. Those teams are in the top 5 of SPL standings this season, right? So, everything looks as we expected. But something that people are surprising that Al Nassr failed too early in the race of the title. They missed too many points, and it seems very difficult to catch Al Hilal and Al Ittihad now. I think the competition is still interesting although the title race is for Al Hilal and Al Ittihad only.

You are absolutely right if you feel so because Ronaldo has worked really hard putting work since his transfer to the Saudi league, he deserves to win the league as an evidence for the good work he has done you know, something to cap it all for the Portuguese star man. As a fan of Ronaldo It will give me great delight to see him lift the Saudi Pro League trophy before his retirement.

I clicked on the news to see what it was. I looked and saw Pavel Nedved. I enlarged the picture and looked, it was really him.
The man is literally defying the years. There are no signs of aging.
The first thing that came to my mind. What will the Shabab team, who took Fatih Terim as a technical director, do with Nedved? What kind of work will Nedved do here? It seemed like very easy money to earn to me.
Well, when a person's past career is very good, it means that they can continue to earn money in the future.
Tomorrow, Fatih Terim will start his Saudi Arabia career with the Al Ahli match. I am also eagerly waiting for the result. I am thinking of betting that the match will end with over 3.5 goals.

Predicted results for today's match,

• Al Fateh vs Al Wehda (Al Fateh win) Loss
• Al Riyadh vs Al Khaleej (Draw) Win

It's really sad to see Al Fateh's performance that makes me disappointed. Although Al Fateh has good experience from H2H, but the fact is that Al Fateh this season really lost all its best performance and had to end up losing. However, I still feel a little relieved with the results of Al Riyadh vs Al Khaleej's performance which gave a draw from the tight competition on the field and ended 2-2 and I managed to get odds @3.30

I was very much impressed to watch Cristiano Ronaldo record his first goal of the year in that game. With that particular goal, Cristiano Ronaldo have now scored in 24 consecutive years as a professional footballer and the surprising thing is he doesn't even look like a player who's retiring this year or next. The Portuguese star is very likely to score next year again to make it 25 successive solid years of finding the back of the net as a football pro.
Sadio Mane in the other hand had a great game by scoring a brace. Good result for Al Nassr I must say

It was an interesting match between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal and I think many people from all over the world were watching this match between the two teams because currently, Al Ittihad is in the first place in the Saudi League, and after months of Al Hilal has the title of the first teams finally hey lost it to Al Ittihad which is a great achievement for this team.
Also, Al Ittihad after winning this match in the Quarterfinal match of the King Cup of Champions proved their power to Al Hilal and I think now we can officially say Al Ittihad is the best team in Saudi Arabia and they finally got better results even than a team like Al Hilal.
  

There is no easy match, Al Okhdood played well even though in the end they had to lose in this match. And surprisingly when Al Nassr had to fall behind first from Al Okhdood, a goal that should have made Al Nassr's condition a little depressed, but fortunately in the 29th minute through a goal scored by Mane, Al Nassr managed to equalize, a very important goal to restore the confidence of the players on the field. On the other hand, CR7 was also able to execute the penalty well, so that the first half ended with an advantage for Al Nassr. In this match, Mane performed quite well by contributing 2 goals for Al Nassr

And through this match, as well as Al Nassr's previous match, I hope Al Nassr can fix their defense again, being able to concede in the early minutes of the match, this shows that there is a slight problem with the back line owned by Al Nassr.

Ronaldo’s presence definitely the reason why everyone expects Al Nassr should be contenders of the title and also maybe because they challenged Al Hilal for the title last season so maybe everyone expects them to be able to remain contenders this season also. They have be, they are capable and have the players to compete this season but I feel the change of manager has affected their performance a little bit. The challenge should be among 3-4 teams competing tightly against each other but due to certain reasons Al Ahli and Al Nassr couldn’t compete this season but I am sure next season they should be title contenders. When all four teams can compete thee Saudi league will become more interesting but it has already started attracting spectators from when the league started signing top European players.

It is true, Ronaldo and his colleagues got an additional 3 points easily, Al Nassr looked too dominant for Al-Okhdood. The additional points did not open up Al Nassr chances of competing for the trophy, but the victory was important enough to maintain the hope of finishing in third place in the standings. Al Nassr position in the standings has now risen one rank, if Al Qadasiyah wins tomorrow, then Al Nassr will be displaced again. Ronaldo contributed again by scoring a goal through a penalty kick, now he is only 1 goal behind Aleksandar Mitrovic as the top scorer in the Saudi Pro League. It is a shame that Al Nassr will most likely fail to win a trophy again this season, they should have built a better team around Ronaldo. Al Ittihad and Al Hilal are strong candidates to win the trophy this season.

The competition this season is similar to the competition that occurred in the 2023 season, namely when Al-ittihad became champions in the end at that time. During that season, tight competition also occurred between Al-Nassr and Al-ittihad. And if I'm not mistaken, that was Cristiano Ronaldo's first season joining Al-Nassr. And in that season Al-Hilal was left behind like Al-Nassr this season. And now this season the situation is reversed.

Al-nassr just won against Al-okhdood Club with a score of 3-1. Sadion Mane managed to score two goals this time and Cristiano Ronaldo only scored 1 goal through a penalty. But what was surprising in this match was that Al-Okhdood was able to break into Al-Nassr's goal first in the 6th minute. And I think this indicates that there were still open gaps in Al-Nassr's defense at the start of the game. I hope Pioli can improve it in the next match.
