How many points needed to lock up the trophy?
I think both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will win the next match. They will play against average teams. Since both teams want to get full points and their striker are competing for the top scorer, we can assume there will be many goals. I don't think Al Nassr will lose points, they must learn the mistakes in the previous matches.

It is correct, Al Hilal is leading the SPL standings since the beginning of the season. Because they are getting stronger, I am sure they will keep their good performance until the end of the season.

Al Hilal doesn't need Neymar because they already have good formation. If Neymar plays together with them, Neymar may ruin their compactness because Neymar prefers to play individually. I think Al Hilal only needs to maintain their current key players, they don't need to force having Neymar on the lineup. Moreover if Neymar still can't recover 100%.

Yes. They are undefeated until now. They never got a lose and they only have 2 draws. They performed almost perfect this season. I think it will be difficult to repeat by any team in the future.

It is very clear that Al Hilal is better than Al Nassr. Although Al Nassr has Ronaldo and Mane, Al Hilal also has some top European players. Sure, they are not as famous as Ronaldo and Mane but most of the European players in Al Hilal are in prime ages. So, they can play with their best performance for this season. Al Hilal has strong players in defense, midfield, and attacking line.

Yes, because Al Hilal is truly certain to get the title this season after providing a difference of 12 points from the remaining 4 matches and that will never happen.
Al Hilal will create a new history of 2 undefeated seasons in the Saudi pro league with very consistent performance and all the players who are able to perform with very strong cooperation.
Compared to Al Nassr, even though they have star players like Ronaldo and have several great attacking players, if the defense is weak and unable to work together strongly, they will definitely not be able to catch Al Hilal's points.
The opportunity will only come in the coming season and it all depends on how Al Nassr overcomes all the previous problems.

In the next few matches Al Hilal will lock up the Saudi Pro League trophy, if Al Nassr still loses points then the hunt for the trophy will end sooner. It is true that there are still 8 remaining matches ahead, but with Al Hilal current consistency, it is very likely that they will sweep all the remaining matches. The competition for the trophy this season ended quickly, entering the second half of the season, the Saudi Proe League standings had formed a wide points gap. Al Hilal have been at the top of the standings since the start of the season, their position has never been touched until now.

Interestingly, AL Hilal managed to run this season smoothly without the support of their star Neymar, the former PSG player suffered a serious injury and had to be sidelined for quite a long time. But this did not cause Al Hilal any problems, they managed to progress without significant obstacles, not only at domestic level but in the Asian Champions League they also did not stop. I think Al Hilal also has a big chance of winning the Asian Champions League trophy, currently Al Hilal has managed to reach the semifinals. Overall, I see Al Hilal as having a big chance of winning the treble winners this season.

Al Hilal are unbeaten in the league and have won their last nineteen league games. I think they are on a very good streak. In the Al Hilal Al Nassr comparison, I think Al Hilal is the superior team. They are setting a new record every week. Having scored at least two goals in their last sixteen league games, Al Hilal are the favorites in every game. Al Hilal have won their last ten games against their rivals and have performed impeccably this season. Jorge Jesus has built a good team and Al Hilal are favorites to win the title in the Saudi Arabian Pro League.

Al Hilal still looks like the superior team to me, maybe that's just me and I can't really do anything regards to that, but that's what I believe will happen. I am not saying that Al Nassr has no chance at all, of course they do have a chance and they may end up winning the game, I am just saying that it is not going to be all that easy to handle at all, there will be some situations that could change.

This is why I believe that we are going to end up with some sort of result that may not be easy to handle at all. I believe the best thing to do would be just betting on Al Hilal to win, that will definitely make it work, and should be something that could give people some chance. That's what I at least bet as, because I believe they will win it.

Cristiano Ronaldo keep show his impressive performance after making hattrick last match and currently leaded top scorer standings awhile with 29 goals has seven goals remaining from Al Hilal striker Mitrovic scored 22 goals. Consistency performance from Ronaldo he has chance keep on the top level performance more than two until three years later and actually he has chance play together with his son, but little disappointed with his son playing for Al Nassr junior teams and not stay with European team has chance for playing on higher level competition.
I think Cristiano Ronaldo can perform well more than three until four years later because he has good life style, most professional athlete take care not drinking or eating some thing not allow for an athlete.

Al nassr managed to get revenge for the draw they got in the first game of the season against abha, I think the chances of al nassr's previous victory over abha are indeed quite big because abha's performance towards the end of the season has dropped drastically and even in recent weeks abha has only been able to take two wins from a team that is indeed at their level in terms of strength and also team quality,  Currently Ronaldo, who continues to be a mainstay of Al Nassr, has given all his abilities to bring Al Nassr to win the SPL this season, but Ronaldo's slick performance is unfortunately not in line with Al Nassr's current performance.

At the moment Al Nassr no longer has a chance to catch Al Hillal and certainly the current match will no longer cause competition for Al Hillal, so I think Al Nassr and other teams only have the remaining matches of the season only as one formal match to end the season because no matter how strong they try, of course it is impossible to chase Al Hillal at the top of the current standings.

Ronaldo always proving his haters wrong in the most bizarre way is one thing that’s been attributed to his name for a very long time now. He keeps increasing his tally even when a lot begin to worry on if he’ll still be productive due to his age. Yes he’s a big plus to this Al-Nassr side as his double hattrick this week still keeps them about 12 points away from Al-Hilal who are looking very strong and ready to win the SPL. This season has been awful for Ronaldo and his mates as they’re out of almost all competitions including the SPL as their chances of winning the league is very slim.

 ⁠Yes so slim because Al-Hilal are on a very good form as compared to how Al-Nassr is and one match that could be a big determinant is the match between these 2 and sincerely with the current form of Al-Nassr, I think thrashing Al-Hilal won’t be much of an issue for them. Al-Hilal too know of The trail from Al-Nassr and as such are always trying to get maximum points.

 For the Saudi Cup, I just wish for Ronaldo’s sake Al-Nassr tries to at least win that cup as it will mean a whole lot to the fans of Ronaldo. Ronaldo’s age is a a barrier and I see him being able to break more obtacles and clim more hurdles to keep staying to.

Cristiano Ronaldo takes his health and fitness very seriously. He is hardly involved in wild partying like Neymar and players. I also heard that he takes lots of water and we saw it when he decided to promote water instead of Coca cola during a pre-match interview some years back. It is now clear that the Saudi professional league is not as easy as we thought at first because many top players have failed to replicate the quality they showcased in Europe. Karim Benzema was expected to compete with the Portuguese striker but it seems he is not performing up to expectation. Sadio Mané have also lived to expectation in the Arab league while injuries has kept hampering the performance of Neymar.

It was a total demolition of Abha in front of their home fans in Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium. When I saw the scores I thought the host lost maybe  :)two players due to red cards but I was surprised that they played with complete players till the end of the game. Al-Nassr dominated the games from start to finish and deserved the win. Al-Nassr has now secured 62 points from 26 games solidifying their hold on the second position 9 points above  Al-Ahli Saudi.

The previous two draws against Al-Ettifaq did not deter them and they instead lost against Al-Fateh. To be honest, through this match Al-Ettifaq could widen the difference in points from Al-Fateh but the opposite happened and instead Al-Fateh managed to shift Al-Ettifaq's position in the standings. It seems that Steven Gerrard's squad is still not consistent enough lately and they often lose points when the opportunity to advance to the top four is there.

However, Al-Ettifaq is a little different from other top Saudi league teams in that even though the depth of their squad is supported by European players, sometimes they can't get the results with certainty. Maybe if they can overcome the existing game with a more appropriate strategy then victory will be easier to achieve. Again, this is coach Steven Gerrard's unsatisfactory job and in the remainder of this season they cannot afford to waste any more points.

His career will be longer if he won't get serious injuries and fail to recover. He will not end his career if he can play even he will score less and less goals each season with time. It is natural progress to a downturn when a player gets older and Cristiano can not fight against it forever.

Some years ago, I read on media that he wanted to play in Champions League with his son. Now it looks difficult for him to do this but playing with his son in a same match is possible if his career last like 3 or 4 more seasons. It is impossible for them to play together at a big club in Europe but for a club in Portugal, I see a chance for them to make it happens.

"My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!"

Al-nassr's first meeting with Abha at that time resulted in a draw with a score of 2-2, but now Abha's last meeting with Al-nassr was really surprising because in that match Al-nassr managed to slaughter Abha with a fantastic score of 0-8 and fortunately in the match That's me betting on Al-Nassr's victory. I think Al-Nassr's performance in the match against Abha was full of happiness and Cristiano Ronaldo was in the spotlight because he scored 3 goals and this is very extraordinary because at this age Cristiano Ronaldo's goal productivity is still high. Good. I think Al-Nassr's performance is now getting better, but unfortunately Al-Nassr's points tally is very different from Al-Hilal's, so the potential to become champions in the SPL is of course very slim.

I think Al-nassr's next match against Damac Al-nassr has the potential to win because Al-nassr is currently in their best performance. Honestly, in the Damac match against Al-nassr, I want to bet on Al-nassr winning.

but it seems like during Damac's match against Al-nassr I think Luis Castro has to be careful with Damac because Damac is currently ranked 8th in the SPL.

His age probably becomes his main competitor since he has no competitor in SPL this season. Mitrovic seems far away from what i have expected. Ronaldo is more consistent in ensuring his performance will not drop by keeping a healthy life to keep himself from being so fit in playing football at his age.
Many people have also expressed their awesomeness with Ronaldo's work, which reminds me of Ibrahimovic. Ronaldo is just getting on fire after he was injured and that's unbelievable thing to see that. Ronaldo's performance is just getting even better than before.
It was amazing to see how ronaldo was consistently scoring hatricks in the last two matches. Things have been going much easier for him in the al nassr. it gives positive vibes to the club.

But if we consider Karim Benzema Neymar then all these stars definitely have the ability to compete with Ronaldo. When Karim Benzema was playing for Real Madrid we saw Karim Benzema scoring almost every match but since he came to Saudi Arabia he has not been getting many goals. On the other hand, if we talk about Neymar, then there is no way to keep him behind in terms of scoring ability. Neymar can score as well as he can with other players but the problem for him is that he has been injured for most of the season. He may never have made it to the top because he was injured for most of the season. If Neymar is fit for a full season and can play for a team for a full season, I'm sure Neymar will surpass all other players in terms of goals and goals scored.

Yes, it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo is trying to score as many goals as possible so that Alexsandar Mitrovic is even further left behind in the race for top scorer in the Saudi League because now Alexsandar Mitrovic is 7 goals behind Ronaldo. This is because in two matches Ronaldo was able to score a hat trick so he added to Ronaldo's goal collection. I think with quite a large margin Ronaldo can secure the individual title and he can still score a lot of goals in the remaining matches this season. I'm sure Ronaldo still has enough energy to score a lot of goals because this season is only a short time away so Ronaldo will not waste this opportunity to get that title.

I also didn't expect Al Nassr to be able to score so many goals against Abha, it was even started by Ronaldo who gave the first two leads, making the Al Nassr players do the same thing, it was as if they were having a goal party at Abha's home ground and this was of course very embarrassing for the home club. .
Once again Al Nassr has to face Al Hilal this season and they meet again in the Super Cup. I think Al Nassr will probably experience another defeat like before because this match is at Al Hilal's home ground which gives Al Hilal an advantage even though Al Nassr's performance is very good recently, however, if you look at Al Nassr facing Al Hilal, it seems as if they are unable to match Al Hilal's strength.

At his age, many players retire or still continue as players but can not appear too regularly because of injuries.

First we have to admit an impression from Cristiano Ronaldo that he still has very strong body at his old age that helps him to have many appearances for Al-Nassr and his national team in this season. He will not have appearance for his teams if he gets many injuries.

Second we have to admit another impressive thing from Cristiano that he still is able to score many goals and I agree that he smartly moved to a lower level league to get both, more money and avoid too severe competitions, to prolong his career. Although, he did it for some reasons, his performances in Saudi Professional League are still very impressive. We can see that how many players who are younger than Cristiano, can score many goals like him in Saudi Professional League. This is fact that anyone dislikes Cristiano must see.

I don't know but if he wants to play, and, if his body allows him to play, he will continue his player career.

True, and we've seen how ronaldo is becoming even more confident with the squad and perfectly adapted to the club. I meant that Ronaldo rarely missed an opportunity unlike the young players these days which have no clue when they were one on one against the goal keeper. This is something that most young players do not have especially the club like chelsea which was not having a good attackers. 1 ornaldo is far better than the whole squad of chelsea LMAO. Ronaldo is passionate about football, which benefits the club and he has been fully dedicating his life to play football which is good. He was showing excellent progress there through scoring a hat trick twice which is amazing, and Mitrovic will have no chance to surpass him as the season's top scorer this season since the gap is just widening and mitrovic can't catch up with what ronaldo did by creating as many goals as possible, getting hatrdick two times in a row make the situation even better for ronaldo to lock his place to be the top scorer this season. The gap is growing even wider, but Ronaldo is losing in the SPL and AFC which are bad achievements for him this season. The Saudi Cup is probably his last chance to win a trophy. Al Hilal is the most perfect team, and it will be a difficult match for him to face them soon and im hoping that it will come true.
Almost all of Al Hilal players are fully prepared to play against al nassr soon. Al Hilal continues to destroy its opponents and it keeps continue, and it was farming three points from Akhdoud. Any match between al Hilal and Nassr is very easy to predict if al hilal is gonna win the game. That is easy money for us and im hoping this will be fine.

It wouldn't be wrong to say that Al Nasr is still less strong than Al Hilal this season. Because all of this is clearly proven, if you look at the head to head record, Al Hilal is indeed superior to Al Nasr. The reason is that from the last 5 matches between Al Nasr and Al Hilal, the result was that Al Nasr was only able to achieve 1 win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. So from this head to head we can conclude that Al Nasr's performance is not as good as Al Hilal's performance.

But even so, if for example Al Nasr players can correct the mistakes they always make in every match, I am sure Al Nasr will definitely be able to compete with Al Hilal. Because basically what I have observed so far is that Al Nasr's mistakes or shortcomings are only in his defensive players. Because if we talk about attackers, wingers or midfielders, in my opinion Al Nasr already has very good players. This is proven, because Al Nasr can always score goals in every match. Therefore, if for example Al Nasr improves its defensive players better, I believe Al Nasr has the potential to win when facing Al Hilal.

And in this Saudi Super Cup match (semi-final round), I personally still hesitate to say which team has the greatest chance of winning. Because I saw the last match played by Al Hilal and also Al Nasr. And the result was that Al Hilal and Al Nasr played well and were both able to get the full 3 points in the SPL. However, to bet on this match, I personally dare to choose Al Nasr. Even though Al Hilal's performance is very good, I feel that in this meeting I have to choose Al Nasr in my bet.

He managed to prolong his career by going to a nation that is not as competitive as the teams he played before, he used to play at teams like United, Real Madrid or Juventus, and looking at Al-Nassr right now, we can easily say that they are not a team that is as good as those clubs. However, even with a drop like this, we have to say that how lower could he get with age? I mean not like he will play in some third division Portuguese team or something, he will have to stop at some point.

I believe that because of this, there is a potential that he will not be able to continue for a long time, maybe one more season but that is about all I can see from him, afterwards he will be way too old to continue playing at any level.
