There are 5 names of players who are currently at the top of the list in scoring goals, and of the 5 players they come from 3 big teams in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal, Al Nassr and Al Ittihad. Al Ittihad players still lead the list of goal scorers, namely Mitrovic, indeed since his arrival at AL Hilal he has become a player who can be a goal scoring machine.
The 2 names below him are star players who have played together at Real Madrid, Benzema and Ronaldo. This is an interesting competition also fought over the top scorer too. However, the performance of each team also has an influence in this case, because a team's goal productivity will also affect their scoring productivity, at least that's what's happening right now.

That's right, my friend, Neymar has been injured for quite a long time and this will certainly have a bad impact on his performance. So it is not wrong to say that with Neymar, Al Hilal's performance which is already very good at the moment will experience a little more adjustment, and could cause Al Hilal's performance to decline. This is because rotating players who already have good chemistry will certainly cause a fatal imbalance. So if for example Jorge Jesus wants to include Neymar in Al Hilal's main squad again, it will certainly be a difficult and risky task for Jorge Jesus. But fortunately according to the news circulating, Neymar will only be played by Al Hilal in the Asian Champions League, and reportedly in the Saudi Arabian league Neymar will not be given much playing time. This is certainly due to the history of injuries experienced by Neymar, so Al Hilal does not want to take big risks. Because if for example Al Hilal forces Neymar to play in all competitions that Al Hilal participates in, and then if the worst possibility happens again to Neymar, namely injury. Of course this will make Al Hilal lose even more. Because of course it would not be funny if Neymar got injured again and had to be absent again until his contract ends. So to anticipate this, Al Hilal will only play Neymar in the Asian Champions League.

And regarding the issue of Neymar wanting to play again with Messi, I also feel that it could happen next season. Because besides Al Hilal not giving a contract extension, Neymar is also reported to have bought a place in the US and this certainly gives us a strong assumption that next season Neymar will really play again with Messi at Inter Miami. Besides, Neymar is currently 32 years old, I hope he can still play longer in the world of football.

Ronaldo lost one of the most important penalties for Al Nassr. He had not missed eighteen penalties in a row until yesterday's game. Their elimination from the King’s Cup has not reduced his chances of winning a trophy with the Saudi-based club to League and Asian Champions League. Al Taawoun were not considered favourites but they worked hard to give coach Stefano Pioli his first defeat in the SPL.

Ronaldo and his teammates would have put the loss behind them because they have more important games to play. Tomorrow's game between Al Nassr and Al-Hilal in Al-Awwal Park will be a game to watch. It will determine how far both teams will go in the league.

There is no comparison between Al Shabab and Al Wehda. Al Shabab are on the 4th spot of the points table with 15 points and above them are AL Nassar with 18 points in Saudi Pro League. I guess they would easily beat to Al Wehda and the odds are also attractive when you bet on Al Shabab. However Al Shahab lost their last match against Al Nassr by 1 goals to 2. Al-Hassan scored the only goal for his team but they lost that match.


Another tough match will be played tomorrow between Al Nassr and Al Hilal and i wonder which team would you bet on that match ?

Odds:- AlHilal 1.98 while Al Nassr 3.20. Perhaps a risk can be taken on Al Nassr.

Al Shabab has a great chance to win this match because their opponent Al Wehda is in bad condition lately in the points table Al Shabab's performance is stronger, moreover this match will be held at Al Shabab's headquarters so there is no reason for the home team to lose if nothing surprising happens, football is sometimes full of surprises, teams that we consider weak do not continue to lose but in this match I am sure Al Shabab will make it difficult for Al Wehda.
In today's match I will make a multi bet on 2 matches, namely:
1. Al Shabab's victory over Al Wehda with odds @ 1.48
2. Al Ittihad's victory over Al Ahli odds @ 2.13
total odds @ 3.15

3 match today in this my prediction.

Ittihad vs Al Ahli Saudi (over 3.5) odds @2.05
Al Shabab vs Al Wehda (over 2.75) odds @1.95
Al Akhdood vs Al Orouba (Akhdood win) odds @2.10

Ittihad and Al Ahli in today's match will be an interesting match. But pay attention if you want to bet on this match because for me both teams get big odds and this makes me doubt there will be a surprise in the match. What I know right now is that Ittihad has a big chance as the host, but Al Ahli can usually put up a fight to hold a draw.

Al Shabab actually has a chance and looks more convincing to be able to win this match. But the odds are too small and on the one hand Al Wehda is currently in a bad situation and will be used by Al Shabab to bring home full points.

And the last Akhdood against Al Orouba and of course people will think Al Orouba can beat Akhdood who is currently below Al Orouba. But believe me if in the experience of the two teams that have met before it proves that Akhdood is easier to win at home.

Al Shabab are playing at home and of course they also have much more stable performance than Al Wehda so everyone knows what the result will be, Al Shabab are favorites with very big chance of winning and this will be fairly easy match for anyone to win if they bet on it.
I just saw the odds given by the bookies in this match and Al Shabab have @1.48 while Al Wehda @6.00, for draw has an odds of @4.30 and taking bet by choosing Al Shabab for @1.48 is fairly decent number.

Al Hilal very often won the SPL trophy but they won't it every season. In the season 2022-2023, Al Ittihad was the winner of Saudi League. Al Nassr also ever won the league trophy, it was in the season 2018-2019. So, this league isn't only about Al Hilal, there are some big teams in this league. The players like Ronaldo, Mane, Neymar and other top European players just make it more interesting and entertaining. There is no way that you claim this league is getting boring.

Man City isn't so different with Al Hilal, they are dominating the EPL. However, it is not boring because we saw many competitive teams in EPL. In SPL, it is also getting more competitive because of the top European players. They come to this league to improve the quality of the matches. This triggers all SPL teams to improve their squad quality. So, they can compete one and others.

Hard match but easy to predict. I think as always Al Hilal is going to beat Al Nassr no matter if they have palyers like Mane and Ronaldo in this team and no matter if they start working with their new coach Pioli who can help them to have better performance but still, I think Al Hilal got a much better team with better teamwork and even if Pioli wants to build something like that in Al Nassr this can take some time while he didn't have enough time for it.
I think Al Hilal's chance is much higher however betting on Al Hilal can give less rewards and for people who want to take some more risk betting on Pioli's team is not bad considering the changes they made.

Having trouble when you are putting a new player in is already a trouble, when that player is as good as Neymar, on a team that already won all the games without him, this trouble grows even more. I am not entirely sure if this should be kept going, we could potentially see this becoming an issue for them. I am not saying they will start losing, obviously they are not going to end up losing, we are going to see them win, but we need to do better right now with what we have, and they already have a working system, adding Neymar to that only hurts it.

I think this could be a bit of a tough period but if they can keep winning during this period, then afterwards they will get used to it and not going to have any issues. This is my guess and I am not certain about it, I am just making a guess and if I am right then everything will be great, if I am wrong then we are going to see them not do that well and things will change very much so, hence why I believe this is why they need to keep trying.

Al Hilal is getting boring at this point, everyone knows they are going to win the league, so while the league was trying to be more famous and get more attention and that is why they spent this much money on players like Ronaldo, Mane, Benzema, Neymar and so forth, they didn't count on the league becoming this boring.

I mean Manchester City wins premier league every season and yet they are still not boring and we still watch them, so they could be maybe trying to do something like that. But if there were a lot of competitions between clubs, we could have done better and we could have seen some good results on viewership as well. Now there isn't really many reasons to watch the games, because we know the champions already and it's only October.

This is the first time Al Hilal got a defeat under Pioli's management. I'm sure Pioli will feel very disappointed with Al Nassr game. They have played quite well but they failed to score a single goal. Even they got a penalty kick, but Ronaldo failed to convert the chance to be a goal. Well, it is too bad day for Al Nassr and Pioli.

I think we don't need to blame Ronaldo. It is a penalty kick, the chance 50:50. Even if Ronaldo has a great history in penalty kick, but he has no ability to guarantee it to be a goal. He is just a human, he can fail to score in a penalty kick.

By the way, Al Nassr attackers look performing badly in this match. They have 15 shots, only 5 shots on the target. It is not so much different with Al Taawoun, they have 4 shots on target. If we consider this, Al Taawoun looks playing more effective. TBH, I'm starting to doubt the quality of Al Nassr attackers. I think they have bad wingers and midfielders, too. They have no creative players that have the ability to create great assists. Moreover in the match against Al Taawoun, Pioli put Mane on the bench. Otavio was in the bench, too.

Based on the odds available at the moment, it is clear that Al Shabab is the favorite to win. Because after all, Al Shabab is playing at home and also, Al Shabab has good results so far this season compared to Al Wehda, so it is very clear the difference in their position in the Saudi Pro League standings at the moment. But even so, if I consider about the results of their head to head record, then at least Al Wehda is also not a completely weak team for Al Shabab.

Thus, although Al Shabab are favorites to win but it seems, a victory for Al Shabab in this match will not be as easy as we expect or imagine. But of course, it is not wrong or a good moment for us to bet on Al Shabab's victory in this match with odds around @ 1.50, because that is still very good odds, I guess.

Al-Shabab vs Al-Wehda team match will start today in Saudi Professional League. Waiting to see this match which team will win this match. If we look at the point table of two teams Al-Shabab team is at the 4th position of the team point table.  -Wehda team is at number 15 in the points table. Al-Shabab team is much stronger than Al-Wehda team. Al-Shabab team has performed very well in the previous matches. Let's see what happens in this match and which team wins this match and let me know yours opinion about this match.

It seems that Neymar will only perform optimally in the second half of the season, so far he has missed 53 matches with Al Hilal, with a full one-year rest starting in October 2023. Of course we hope that Neymar can avoid injury in the future, and we hope that the Brazilian player can appear in the 2026 World Cup. There is an option to extend the contract for a duration of one year, Al Hilal can activate the clause by mutual agreement. Sure enough, rumors of his transfer are increasingly being discussed, Neymar is linked to Inter Miami. Meanwhile, with the return of Neymar, Al Hilal seems to be easier to defend the trophy this season. Al Hilal bargaining power to win the Asian Champions League trophy will also increase.

Al Hillal is still and remains the strongest team in the SPL and we can see how they remain consistent and continue to be able to maintain their performance until now, so I think Neymar presence may not be needed anymore at the moment,  at this time it will be very difficult for Neymar to return  his best form considering that he has been absent for quite some time, in addition, his long injury history will allow his injuries  to relapse if he returns to play later, maybe he will give a positive impact for Al Hillal when playing but by playing again of course it will disturb the stability of the team that they have been very consistent at this time, rumors of Neymar's departure to Intermiami have indeed developed so far, especially since he has said he wants  to played with Messi and Neymar again in someday,so I think next season maybe it will happen, because  Al Hillal is unlikely to extend his contract which will end in end of the season later.

Just hope Neymar will be really ready to play. it has been confirmed that he has recovered but still he will get limited playing minutes I think to keep him from getting another serious injury. at least we all want to see him contribute greatly to Al Hilal in the rest of his contract. because there are rumors that Neymar might follow Messi. we don't know the truth, but hopefully Neymar can give his best for Al Hilal who have performed well even without him.

Al Hilal must have had a different plan in bringing Neymar from PSG to the Saudi side, although they were unable to finish last season with Neymar as they only played a few games of the season when Neymar suffered a long-term injury and was sidelined for a long time. Neymar has been busy recovering from injury for a long time and finally he was able to recover from the injury and a match saw Neymar take the field. Now if Neymar is fully ready to play 90 minutes then Al Hilal will play Neymar on the field for 90 minutes as a result of which the attacking line-up of Al Hilal team will be more enriched and Al Hilal will become a more irresistible team. All the best to Al Hilal and Neymar, and as a Neymar fan, we can only pray that Neymar saves himself and doesn't get injured again.

2 strong teams in the SPL have also faced Al-hilal, namely Al-ittihad and Al-Ahli. And yes, the result was that all of them were defeated by Al-Hilal. And Al-Taawoun is actually also a strong club in the SPL, but well, in front of Al-Hilal, they still lost. And in week 9 there may be greater hope to see a team that can hold Al-Hilal to a draw or beat it. because the team that Al-hilal will face in week 9 is Al-nassr. It's just that Al-Nassr's not so good record in Week 8 when they were held to a draw by Al Kholood really makes me doubt it. But if Al-nassr fails in that match then I think Al-hilal will really continue the unbeaten record they also had last season and they will repeat this season. And actually if that happened then it would be a bit boring. This will be similar to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, which always dominated very well, before Leverkusen finally made a surprise last season which made everything even more exciting again.

This is a match that i'm also looking forward to, seeing two big teams in the Saudi Professional League face each other for 3 points. Al-Nassr is believed to be able to win against Al-Hilal this time because they often get bad results when they meet Al-Hilal. But, is it true that Neymar will play in the match against Al-Nassr, as i know he is still injured at the moment.
