Al-Nassr seems to lack the motivation to fight harder when Cristiano Ronaldo is absent. But that's not the only problem, but in the match against Al Kholood we saw that Al-Nassr's defense level was slightly lower than usual. And for the attack line, actually scoring 3 goals against the opponent's goal can still be said to be quite good even though Cristiano Ronaldo is not there. But it seems that when Cristiano Ronaldo is not there, we see the players are more enthusiastic about going forward to score goals but are always too late to help the defense. Meanwhile, when there is Cristiano Ronaldo, we can see that the players simply entrust the attack line to the legend and several players. And all the other players can focus more in the midfield and sometimes help in defense. So in several matches before yesterday we saw that the AL-Nassr defense line was quite strong. But I am optimistic that Stefano Pioli will overcome this problem. And bring balance back to the Al-Nassr squad.

Al-hilal's situation, which dominates the SPL this season, does not appear to be weakening at all. So I am also starting to think that Al-Hilal will continue to dominate until the end of this season and continue to be at the top of the standings without anyone being able to shift their position, even if only temporarily. Just look at their pattern of play which is very well organized and has very good balance in all lines. They are also always consistent in every match and the most important thing is that sometimes they are able to turn things around in the final minutes when they almost lose or get a draw.

And regarding Al-nassr it is clear that they really weakened when Cristiano Ronaldo was absent. I don't know what happened but everything was different when Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't there. And actually Al-Nassr also has a strong squad. It's just their level of consistency at the start of the season that makes it difficult for Al-nassr to compete at the top. If Pioli had arrived sooner, maybe now Al-Nassr would be in second place. And I'm sure there wouldn't be a big difference between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal points if Pioli was brought in sooner.

I agree. Al Hilal becomes stronger this season, it seems very difficult for other teams to overtake Al Hilal. Al Nassr is no longer the closest team to catch Al Hilal, Al Ittihad is in 2nd place now. Al Nassr becomes harder to get points now because Ronaldo can't play, Ronaldo needs to take a rest at home. If there is no change in Al Nassr performance, they will finish this season in 3rd place.

It is no a big difference but it seems Al Ittihad and Al Nassr will be difficult to overtake it. I even think the point gap will be bigger because Al Ittihad and Al Nassr may lose points again. Especially Al Nassr, this team can't perform consistently. This makes it hard to shorten the point gap with Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.

Ronaldo may have a big hope to win Saudi league title, but Al Nassr has no enough quality players. Al Nassr doesn't only need to change the coach, they also need to improve the quality of the players, especially for the defenders. If Al Nassr never solve the defense problem, it is impossible for Al Nassr winning the SPL title.

We didn't expect that match will be that kind of match because we didn't see competition in this match. One team played played well and other team played bad in this match. I expected that Al-Taawoun will do 1 goal in this match because they surprised me after doing no goal in this match. A. Mitrović did first in that match at 15 minutes and he played crutial role in this match because he gave good start in that match and he gave many passes in this match and these passes were the main reason of their success in that match. The shots of that team were 12 and from which 7 shots were on target and player try to win this match and they gave their all energy to win this match and after they became successful in their mission . Their possession percentage was 55 percent and their passes were 492 and their competitor passes were less in that match and these were 418 only.

Al Hilal have been unbelievable this season to still accumulate three points and stretch their unbeaten record further up-to 42 matches which is all shades of record cool! It also proves that Al Hilal has no weaknesses and a strong team strength, which hints on the fact they are about to re-win this season title in Saudi league. Yet, the season is not over of course and many things can happen in this long journey. Al Hilal are just 2 points clear of Al Ittihad in second, with other clubs such as the newly-revived title chasers overhauling original bottom-dwellers Al Nassr still very much having an outside chance should Aldosari's men lose more than a handful of precious points. A league of this length means momentum, resilience and adapting to forthcoming challenges will be incumbent in reaching a successful conclusion.



While Ronaldo played a critical part in the win at Lazio, Juve's success needs mental toughness and unity across all players In addition, though he played at Al Nassr the Ideal was one of triumph in Saudi Arabia seems long overdue. But it looks as if Al Nassar are finding their feet again post the coach change, and long may that continue.

It is very bad if they always rely on one player to get good results because after all, such dependence will have a bad impact on the team's performance because at any time they will certainly lose that player. Thus, they must be able to have good morale to be able to support their performance remains good. Because after all, when they lose against mediocre teams and they assume losing Ronaldo makes the result bad, such complaints will also not make them better because then, it is evident that they are still in a bad situation. After all, even if Ronaldo is still available to play also the fact that Al Nassr is still difficult to be able to win the Saudi Pro League trophy, so I think the presence or absence of Ronaldo is the fact that Al Nassr is always losing the competition with Al Hilal.

After Al Hilal's dominant performance in the Saudi Pro League last season that helped them win the league title, I was of the opinion that the other top teams in the league will likely stop them from dominating again this season but surprisingly, the reigning champions have continued from where they stopped last season. 8 wins in 8 games so far and 3 points ahead of second placed Al Ittihad whose only defeat this season was handed to them by the league leaders. I don't think there's anything that's gonna stop Al Nassr from winning the league title this season because they already look unstoppable

So far Al Hillal has shown quite good consistency in league journey, in fact they have continued to extend their unbeaten record since the beginning of last season until now with 42 matches and that is a very fantastic record in my opinion...!.

But season the season is still too long so it's still difficult for us to say they can win the league again, although it is undeniable that if they have a greater chance of doing so than other teams, I think the change of coach which made by Al Nassr has had a positive impact at the moment,but if they had done it earlier of course we may would have seen a different result at this time, because  6 points behind from Al Hillal is none other than their consequences lost too many points at the beginning of the season when Luis Castro was still coaching, the next transfer market is a solution for Al Nassr to strengthen his squad and as you say,Pioli should indeed need to strengthen the midfield, but I think defense must be the main their priority to be improved

It seems that this season Al Hilal will become champion again. I can't see any chance of Al Nassr reversing the current worst scenario that is seen in the table.



This 6 point difference is very big. Unfortunately, Ronaldo is not having any luck in this Saudi league. Even with the coaching changes, things are not going well for Al Nassr because the problem is in the squad, which is very open. They have Ronaldo as a striker, but they need other good strikers and they don't need to spend a lot of money because they have good players at good prices. They just need to make good choices when making signings. I don't see Al Nassr being able to be champions this season, but I hope they make new signings if they really want to win the league.

Before the match started, everyone knew who would win the match because Al Hilal had a stronger performance at the moment without any defeats and even no draws. Statistics like this are what make bettors very confident to bet on Al Hilal victory. This time Al Hilal is a little more comfortable with a 3 point difference. However, Al Hilal must be careful in the upcoming match and must also get 3 additional points because Ittihad could get full points from Al Ahli in the upcoming match.

Yes in this match we have seen strong performances from both the teams. As we saw against Al Khulood, Al Nasr were without their best player Cristiano Ronaldo and their attack was a bit weak in this match. Still, all of Al-Nassr's players performed consistently. However, when Maolida scored a goal for Al-Kholood 12 minutes into the match, it looked like Al Nasser might be losing the match. However, A.Laporto scored for Al-Nasser in the 16th minute to equalize his team.

The most important turning point of this match was in the extra time because if Talisca had not scored at that time, Al Nassr might have lost against Al-Kholood. Talisca has the biggest contribution to draw that match. Al Nassr are yet to lose a match this season in the Saudi Pro League, but they have drawn three matches.

Al Kholood profited well from the situation and picked a hard one point from Al-Nassr which is now 6 points away from Al-Hilal and 3 points behind Al-Ittihad. The situation for them is getting more complicated since they should not miss any point in order to win the league title when they have such a hard opponent like Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal defeated their opponent team Al-Taawoun with 2-0 score what most of people predicted. As well as Al-Hilal made the saturday night special as they able to restore their three point and still they are unbeaten by any team.they played eight mathes where they have won all of those eight including the last night match and in the current Saudi Pro League, They standing at the top of the qualifying table with 24 points. While their opponent team Al-Taawoun rank at 9th position with 11 points where they won three matches of out eight. Well Al-Hilal team was dedicative enough from beginning and after taking the control, Aleksandar Mitrovic scored a 1st goal at 15th minutes. Their opponent tired well and thus half time end. Afterwards both team faced themselves once again, both team tried to control and dominated the match with good passing accuracy. But Al-Hilal had well strategy what assisted them to score one more goal at 62th by Sergej Milinković, he proved his ability even he got a yellow card. Till the end, both team fight well but team Al-Taawoun failed to score any goal and get defeated by Al-Hilal at the end of the match

After previously Al Nassr failed to win because of 3 - 3 draw against Al Kholood, today Al Hilal managed to win with score of 2 - 0 against Al-Taawoun and this victory gave them record of 8 consecutive win.
Mitrovic always plays well in every Al Hilal match and he opened the first goal in today match, I predict they will win and seeing the opponent Al Taawoun makes me think that the total goal will not be more than 3 goal from both team and in the end with the addition of Under 3.5 makes the betting slip successful winner.

A few days ago we watched the Al-Nassr match against Al Kholood and in that match I thought Al-Nassr would be able to win easily in that match but of course Al Kholood played very well and the back line was quite good too because when the Al-nassr players attacks it seems that Al-nassr players find it very difficult to score goals accurately. Of course we all know the result of that match and the result was that Al-Nassr had to accept the reality, namely a 3-3 draw and of course had to surrender because they only received 1 point from Al Kholood.

but even though the result was a draw, I saw that Talisca and her friends played well, they had fought their best to defend Al-Nassr and of course a draw is not a defeat, so of course this is a better thing than losing and not getting a single point.

Now I realize that without Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, of course things are different, so Cristiano Ronaldo is really needed by Al-Nassr because if there is Cristiano Ronaldo, Al-Nassr's game will get better. In my opinion, it seems like Pioli still needs to educate the Al-Nassr players to be even better even without Cristiano Ronaldo because of course if they rely on Ronaldo it will be difficult for Al-Nassr to become champions because sometimes Cristiano Ronaldo is always busy.

According to the news I read, Cristiano Ronaldo did not play because he was forced to leave the Al-Nassr squad because he was accompanying his girlfriend (Georgina Rodriguez) who had just returned home from the hospital due to illness.

Al-Hilal defeated Al-Taawoun according to what many people predicted. so yeah it's not a surprising result. But it's more about fair match results. But the results of this match make it clear that al-Hilal's dominance has not faded in the SPL since last season. And it's quite scary to see that this team hasn't lost in the SPL since last season.

In the match against Al-Nassr, perhaps we can hope that Al-Nassr can make things difficult for Al-hilal. But I'm not sure whether Al-hilal will suffer their first defeat in the next match. Because I see that Al-Nassr is also starting to become unstable again at the back. Maybe it is true that Al-Nassr has not experienced defeat again after they have a new coach, namely Pioli. And actually Al-Nassr had also experienced improvements in the back line. What made Al-Nassr rarely concede after Pioli arrived. But in the last match yesterday we saw that Al-Nassr conceded too easily.

I saw Al Nassr playing more dominantly controlling the match but Al Okhdood played very well he played a clever tactic, Al Nassr made more shots on Al Okhdood's goal but he was only able to equalize while Al Okhdood did not make many shots but at least they were able to penetrate Al Nassr's goal with 3 goals, I think Al Nassr still has not improved their defense line and is still quite easy to break through by clubs that tend to be mediocre, if Ronaldo was in that match there might have been more than 3 goals because Ronaldo always scores goals in every match and could possibly bring home 3 points.

There is no team that can really give tight competition to Al Hilal, and until week 8 they are very successful with a perfect victory that brought them to the top of the standings in the Saudi Pro League. They are so tough and they are so consistent in maintaining their appearance, that is the key to why they are very difficult to beat. Even though they lost star players or even did not get any contribution, they are still very good and I think the presence or absence of Neymar will not change anything from them. I think almost everyone will have the same thought that they will be champions again this season.

Yes Al-Hilal have played well this season they are unbeaten in 8 matches so far. Al-Hilal beat Al-Taawoun and are number 1 in the points table with a total of 24 points. Al-Hilal scored 2 goals in the 15th and 62nd minutes to win 2-0 in the end. Although Al-Taawoun scored 1 goal in 47 minutes of play but was offside, due to which the goal was disallowed. Before the match I expected Al-Hilal to beat Al-Taawoun easily. However, with Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal to be played next November 2nd, this match could be much more competitive. Because so far Al-Nassr is unbeaten, played 8 matches so far and won 5 matches, 3 draws. Al-Nassr is third in the points table with a total of 18 points. May be any team between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will lose or draw, but I will put Al-Hilal ahead.

Yes, Al Hilal won the match. Mitrovic scored 1 goal, Milinkovic-Savic scored 1 goal. As usual, Al Hilal dominated the match and created more chances to score goals. Al Taawoun has no much opportunities, they only got 2 shots on target. So, Al Hilal deserves to win the match, they performed well again. This team is getting more consistent day after day.

By the way, Al Hilal got 3 points, they have collected 24 points now. In the 2nd place, Al Ittihad collected 21 points. I think Al Hilal seems to win the title again this season because there is no other teams that really can challenge Al Hilal.

There is no much development. Al Hilal is still in the top of SPL table, Al Ittihad is in 2nd place, meanwhile Al Nassr is still in 3rd place. If there is no much change in the next few matches, this position is likely to last until the end of the season. I see no strong competitor for Al Hilal, both Al Nassr and Al Ittihad isn't a consistent team like Al Hilal.
