It's finished and Al Nassr emerged victorious. Ronaldo was again the player who played a role in Al Nassr's victory in round 20.
Ronaldo opened Al Nassr's win before Al Fateh FC made it 1-1. After the score was equal, Al Nassr continued without stopping trying to get the winning goal until finally Otavio became the player who gave Al Nassr the win.

In a few moments, the match between Al Nassr vs Al Fateh will take place. Al Nassr appear as the host in this match and prepare to host Al Fateh and they will not allow AL Fateh to be able to freely steal points from their own headquarters. Al Fateh themselves come in a bad condition, they get unsatisfactory results in the last 5 matches with only 1 victory. On the other hand, Al Nassr they only got 1 defeat which they got against Al Hilal.
Al Nassr's chances of winning the match are very large, they will also play at full strength. But they must prepare their defense in this match, because so far the defense is a weak point that can be exploited by the opponent. And it's possible that Al Fateh can take advantage of that, so they must be careful.

difference in large points will give challenge for Al Nassr to try to continue to pursue the difference in points even though it looks impossible but in the history of Al Hilal journey always get defeat at least 2 times in every season and that the result of the smallest defeat ever got Al Hilal and If indeed Al Nassr wants to pursue the difference in the point at least Al Nassr must be consistent in continuing to win and wait for Al Hilal to get defeat but does not guarantee that will be able to get a defeat because it used to occur Al experts did not get defeat in one season and this could have happened Al Hilal.

Al Nassr should indeed be easier to steal 3 points from Al Fateh because this team seems to be experiencing bad problems in the decline in the performance of the players and Al Nassr must use this match well because Al Hilal will certainly also get 3 points from Al Raed.
Al Nassr formation data has been published and clearly seen if Ronaldo, Talisca and Mane will compete full time to be able to get big score even though Al Fateh has never defeated Al Nasr but could have held draw like before.

Ivan Rakitić the player of Al Shabab was amazing in this match against Al Shabab and he had an epic start in the Saudi League.
The former player of Barcelona, Ivan Rakitić scored a goal 20 minutes after the start of this game and he had a good performance in this match.
The interesting thing is he scored the first goal with his first-ever shot in Al Shabab is an amazing record for this player.

That's what i have seen damac vs al shabab. Damac was performing better during the first half but the key factor that was helping shabab to beat it was the red card. It was also making the team lose its confidence to control the game. Shabab was able to taking over the gameplay after its opponent was also getting bad result.
The red card was really costing the club a lot but it's not yet going down since damac is still having good gap toward the competitor below it. Im feeling so damn bad with the ersult. I thought that damac would be winning the game but a mistake from a player has destroyed the gameplay of damac.
Shabab gets three points which was also helping the club to climb up even a little bit. Shabab's performance was still really inconsistence. Im thinking that this club may be also getting another bad result again.
Damac is not yet showing confidence with its performance. It's likely this club gonna get another bad result. So, damac needs to make its comeback to stay at the top 10 till the end of season.

I believe that Al-Nassr can't do anything about the gap. Al Hilal would need to lose in order for Al-Nassr to get close, lets assume that they win the game between them, the point difference would still be four points, which means that Al Hilal would need to lose at least one more game and get a draw in another one of them.

So, it is clear to me that it is not going to eb possible, not because Al Hilal may not have 2 losses and 1 more draw until the end of the season, that may very well happen, but also that would mean Al-Nassr would have to have 100% win all games they have left and that part I do not believe, they will lose points. So that would mean Al Hilal needs to lose 7 more points than Al Nassr and that doesn't feel possible.

I was so annoyed with Al-Ahlia's performance and how they could lose against Al-Akhdoud who were far from being favored to win. Moreover, if you look at the goals from Al-Ahli, which were only from penalty kicks and the opponent's own goal, it really doesn't reflect the squad of European players they currently have. The 3-2 defeat clearly made Al-Ahli very disappointed and of course quite a few bettors lost money as a result of betting on Al-Ahli's win.

I felt there was a disconnect between the Al-Ahli players which made them feel under pressure and the goal was so easy to break into. What is clear is that this defeat makes no sense, especially considering that their consecutive wins have to be tarnished by this new defeat. Well, this is football and sometimes things don't go as they should. Talking about Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal, I am quite optimistic that both of them can win, but they must at least remain alert to their opponents because the results experienced by Al-Ahli could also have an impact on them.

There is nothing so surprising if the team that gets a red card ends up losing because of course that will affect the balance of their game and a team no matter how strong can experience defeat if they play with less than eleven players because their opponents will have more freedom to control the game and even if they change they will be more defend but the attacks that continue to be received are very likely to make the team that gets a red card end up making a mistake.
However, Damac, when playing with 10 players, still tried to guard his goal, but the only goal from Al Shabab was difficult for Damac to respond to.
And looking at several matches that were starting, it seemed like the favorite team was having some difficulty winning because Al Ahli lost to teams outside the top 10, in fact they were only able to score 1 goal because 1 more goal was caused by a mistake by Al Okhdood players.

Al Nassr does not give up to continue to put pressure on Al Hilal and continues to be close to Al Hilal even though the point difference is quite large. Al Nassr hopes that Al Hilal will lose focus and lose points in the next match so that Al Nassr can catch up with Al Hilal, but I I think Al Hilal remains focused in the match they are facing unless an injury to their player becomes an obstacle and Al Hilal experience difficulties if a key player is injured so that Al Nassr can take advantage of the situation.

Al Nassr will play with Al Fateh but Al Nassr still has to be alert. Al Fateh is not a weak club, they are ranked 7th and in the last 5 matches they have experienced 2 defeats but recently they have achieved 2 draws and 1 wins so Al Nassr must try as hard as possible to win and not embarrass yourself because this match is being held at home.

Any club certainly won't be able to compete with just 10 players, especially if the defender gets a red card, the defense will certainly be easier for the opponent to break down and in Damac's case it's possible they might not concede if they can focus on holding the opponent's attack to a draw and try to get 1 point at the end of the match but look Damac was still trying to chase victory so he lost focus and ended up conceding.
I would say that Al Shabab's victory was just luck when they were able to take advantage of Damac's condition, which only appeared with 10 players.

The red card was a key got by shabab to won the game against damac. Damac is still performing very good and it's on top 10. The match was going quite intensive but damac could not keep it after one of its player got a red card which was making the performance from the club become unbalanced. As you can see from the result of game if damac was also losing with narrow score against shabab. It's caused by shabab's goal was happening after damac played defensively because of the red card accumulation by its player. The result might be draw if damac would not get a red card but things are changing a lot.

I knew that damac was not losing with huge margins against shabab but it was also making damac go down even deeper after it was also achieved the bad result in the previous game. This is also making the situation for the club even worst compared to the before.
Im thinking that damac will get snowball effect from the two losses. The club needs to push the player to play better. There must not be unneeded foul like that. So, i think that club can learn a lot from the result against shabab. It must make players played carefully.

It was a mistake from its player that was costing club three points which is bad result coz damac was competing at the top now. it feels crazy to see shabab beat damac.

Damac FC seemed to have lost their balance after one of their players received a red card, forcing them to play with an incomplete formation with only ten players and Al Shabab was able to make good use of this opportunity by creating opportunities to lead them to victory. Yes, maybe if Damac had created a chance first before playing with 10 players, the match could have been a draw, but unfortunately, none of Damac's shots turned into goals. Al Shabab is very happy with this narrow victory as they continue to improve their position.

In fact, in this match Al Ahli controlled the game better than Al Okhdood. However, the weakness is that Al Ahli players are not good at maximizing existing opportunities. Because, from the first minute until the second half whistle sounded, Al Ahli never stopped creating very good opportunities. However, unfortunately none of these opportunities resulted in additional goals for Al Ahli. In fact, the two goals scored by Al Ahli were all caused by fatal mistakes made by player Al Okhdood. The reason is that the first goal achieved by Al Ahli was caused by a cross given by Al Ahli's winger that hit the body of an Al Ahli player, making it difficult for goalkeeper Al Okhdood to block because the direction of the ball changed. And the second goal achieved by Al Ahli was a penalty kick. So basically in this match Al Ahli had a dull attack line and a less than slick defense line (especially the right side). I see that Al Ahli's central midfielder is still very good. Because it was proven that in this match the flow of attacks launched by Al Ahli was very good.

Meanwhile, Al Okhdood played quite well in this match even though they were often attacked by Al Ahli players. So when Al Okhdood players launched a counterattack, it was always done carefully and directed towards Al Ahli's defense area. And the result was that 3 goals were created from the feet of the Al Okhdood players and as a result Al Okhdood managed to bring home the full 3 points.

And for the match that will be played by Al Hilal and Al Nasr, I will not hesitate to choose these two clubs. Because it is true, the opponents that Al Hilal and Al Nasr will face will not be too difficult. So I would also hold Al Hilal and Al Nasr very optimistically.

What happened to Al-Ahli. I favor them in the match against Al-AKhdoud. but they apparently experienced quite a dramatic defeat because one Al-Ahli player even had to receive a red card at the end of the match. After the break it felt like each team's performance was very different. And maybe every match will be more difficult to predict.

Today and tomorrow I hope some matches can go according to what I predicted. Namely, I will favorite Al-Nassr and Al-hilal. Al-Nassr will face Al-Fateh. and Al-hilal will face Al-Raed. It should be an easy match for Al-nassr and Al-hilal. And betting on both I don't think will disappoint.

They lost to Al-Ittihad last season and don't want to lose the title to Al Hilal this season. They in general play very good in Saudi Professional League but their bad start affects their position in title race a lot. It looks worse with domination of Al Hilal in Saudi Professional League as it gives Al Nassr less chances to catch the competitor.

Easy or not, I don't say but I am sure Al Nassr will play with all best and resources they have to beat Al Father. Losing more points mean they unofficially surrender against Al Ittihad when the league still has many matches. 7 points are already too much and if it expands to 9 points or 10 points, it's impossible for Al Nassr to beat Al Hilal in this race excepts something really weird happens in Al Hilal.

After 19 league games in the Saudi Pro League, Al Hilal is currently leading the league standings with a seven points difference ahead of second placed Al Nassr and that's why Al Nassr can not afford to drop points again if they truly want to continue their title chase this season.
This weekend against Al Father, I think it'll be an easy win for Al Nassr and that's because of their superior number of quality players when compared to their opponents of the weekend. Also I think Al Hilal who are still unbeaten in the league are going to grab all three points from their game against Al Raed. Al Nassr must win Al their remaining fixtures of the season and hope that Al Hilal drops points to win the Saudi Pro League title

Al Hilal only made signings of the Brazilian because he's a big player and have earned the respect and accolades he deserves in the European football world. However, in Saudi Arabia, a whole lot of things have changed and things will no longer fall normal for these European players that takes active part in the projects of these SPL clubs. Al Hilal can survived with or without Neymar Jr. We watch the performance of the club and I must give the coach and the players their credits. They deserve every good results they're having this present day because they didn't relent in the top activities, always coming out been the best SPL club this season. Really something to boosts about.

Well, right from his time at Fulham he was one of the best in their squad, and one of the best striker in the EPL then so I'm not really suprised at his recent performance. That's why went Al-Hilal got him into their squad I was pretty sure they've got the perfect striker into their team, if you noticed they've really improved this season and Mitrovic really played a big role in their their improvement, so far Mitrovic is one of the best Strikers in the league after CR7 with about 17 goals and just 3 goals left to get past Ronaldo.

 Also, with or without Neymar Al-Hilal's squad have been in a perfect shape, they've still retained their position till this point and are leading the league with about 53 points and 7 points away from their rival Al-Nassr, well the return of Neymar is also beneficial to their squad, due to his abilities,  it would really give them a boost in the attacking position too.

The situation not quite good right, this situation also make the performance of the Ittihad team weaken. The reason is, in yesterday's match on AFC Champions League Ittihad couldn't win. Maybe if Benzema plays, I think Ittihad's chances of winning will increase. Anyway, I hope Benzema problems at Ittihad can find a good solution. But for now Benzema must be able to play, because as you said, players must continue to play to find their best form.

Of course, it is a must to win the next matches. Al Nassr won't give up, they will keep the competition for the title although the point gap is quite large. Al Nassr expects to have good luck, they want Al Hilal to miss points in the next matches. The injury can be a problem that we are unpredictable. If this happens, Al Hilal may lose points in some matches.

Al Nassr will play against Al Fateh. Ronaldo and friends must play all out, Al Fateh is a weak team. Meanwhile Al Hilal, it is likely an easy match to play against Al Raed. This is a small team that almost goes to the relegation zone.
