The fact that the games started is wonderful, only a bit of time left until we see how the league will restart. We have not seen too many big name changes so far, we did expected to see some big name transfers from the clubs but as far as I am aware, nothing like that happened.

This is why I honestly believe that the situation could be very well, not going to end up with anything that would be good at all. I know that it is going to cause a lot of trouble, but at the end of the day we are going to see it be similar, because there were no transfers. Why expect something different, when you have the exact same teams end up play exact same games? They should be doing the same again and again and I do not expect any difference at all.

I'm sure totally sure that Ronaldo and his teammates in Al Nassr don't want to lose another game and even one point again because they are still racing with Al Hilal however there is a huge gap between these two teams but they still have hope that's why they don't want to lose even one single point against Al Nassr. I think Al Nassr is going to win this match scoring many goals because of the forwards they have and we know Ronaldo is also going to try to prove his quality again in this game against Al Fateh.

In today's match of Damac vs Al-Shabab team, both teams could not score before halftime. After both teams tried hard to score, Al-Shabab won the match by scoring 1 goal in 82 minutes. On the other hand, S. Hawsawi of Damac team got red cards in 67 minutes.  Damac team played the match with 10 players after 67 minutes. If Damac team played better and scored 1 goal in this match, the match would have been a draw but Al-Shabab team won the match with 1 goal.

Al Nassr doesn't need to have high hopes of chasing the title this season because it is very impossible to chase 7 points while Al Hilal will not easily make mistakes and in fact Al Hilal will continue to add points in every match without having to lose and the worst result to date is experienced by Al Hilal only ended in a draw.
but it doesn't rule out the possibility that Al Nassr can't get the title because this is football with a million surprises so what Al Nassr needs now is just to keep getting points in every match and wait until Al Hilal makes a mistake because no matter how strong a big team is, it will eventually experience at least 3 defeats but just waiting for the right time.

and regarding against Al Fateh I have a little prediction that Al Nassr will score at least 3 scores and Ronaldo will score 1 score in that match and if Talisca is present in the match he will also score 1 score or provide 1 assist.
betting on Al Nassr winning will only get small odds but it will be more profitable if you bet -1.5 with odds @1.62
just my prediction and the rest will continue to be analyzed independently.

Tomorrow Al Nassr will play against Al Fateh, this is another very important game for Al Nassr who will play at home and they cannot lose points in this game, their opponent in the last 5 games only managed to have 1 victory. they had 2 defeats and 2 draws. but they come from 3 consecutive games without losing. So it is important that Al Nassr is very careful not to draw in this game. Al Fateh hasn't conceded many goals in the last few games, which could make Al Nassr have a lot of difficulties scoring many goals in this game. In my opinion, Al Nassr will hardly be able to win the title this season because they don't have a good coach and there are deficiencies in the squad. but Al Nassr needs to guarantee second place, because that is the maximum they will achieve in the league

Another interesting game will take place on the 18th, which will be the game between the leader of the table, Al Hilal, against Al Raed. Al Hilal has not had any defeat in the league and I highly doubt that in this game they would lose, although Al Raed in the last 5 games have only lost 1 game, they are still not at the same level as Al Hilal, I see Al Hilal winning in this game . It's an undeniable fact that Al Hial's coach is doing a good job, see that Neymar, without playing because he's injured, doesn't do any harm to the team. but I think the club can't discard him because they spent a lot of money bringing him in, so it's wiser for the club to use him in the best way so that he brings profits to the team.

After got promotion to Saudi Pro League i have to says Al Ahli performance is very fantastic because they can able reach to 3rd place on league standings Al Ahli even only have 6 difference points below to Al Nassr and collect 12 wins from 19 matches although Al Ahli cannot be considers as strong contender for race title but at least they can compete with Al Nassr for runner up position and Asian Champion league spots and today Al Ahli will fight against Al Okhdood Club and they will attempts to resumes their winning streak from this match and cut their points gap with Al Nassr

Al Ahli as the 3rd teams with the most goals in Saudi Pro League along with Al Nassr and Al Hillal and their new players just like Riyad Mahrez, Allan Saint-Maximin and Franck Kessie can adapt quickly with Saudi Pro League atmosphere and they can being an Al Ahli important players and they also can able to bringing Al Ahli to reach to 3rd place and for today match these players is in the good fitness and they are ready to played and Al Okhdood Club have a problem with their front lines because until week 19 Al Okhdood Club only able to scores 13 goals total and about the outcomes of this match i am still sure Al Ahli will being an the winner of this match considering Al Ahli condition was quite solid now but Al Ahli odds is not high @1.57

It's been a long time since I saw Al-Ettifaq win and this away win is so special when half the season has just started. Al-Ettifaq should win and considering that their squad is dominated by European players, it would be a shame if they again suffer less than optimal results. Wijnaldum and Gray have been their signings since last summer and at least if they continue to improve then Al-Ettifaq can return to their rightful place.

Steven Gerrard was given more responsibility to handle this team and he also extended his contract with Al-Ettifaq some time ago so he must provide commensurate results for the team he is currently managing. This season Al-Ettifaq started very badly but at least they can slowly recover from the existing situation. I'm looking forward to the next win and it doesn't just end with this match.

Even though they won, I don't see Al Ettipaq as that great, in fact this was their first win in the last 5 matches (including this one). This proves that they are not a club that is fully prepared. But apart from all that, this victory is indeed something good for them, they can show that they can recover after previously it was very difficult to win the match.
Al Khalej played under pressure, they couldn't develop the game, in fact they could only record 1 attempt on target. There is still a lot that needs to be improved by these two clubs, because they are currently only able to compete in the middle of the standings, if they want to be in a better place the only way is to improve their performance.

At first I didn't think that Al-Ettifaq could win because their poor performance made me hesitate and decided to bet on a draw, but surprisingly Al-Ettifaq was able to perform optimally with speed when dribbling the ball in front of the goal, making me surprised that Al-Ettifaq had improved their performance again.
Wijnaldum and Demarai Gray are 2 new players from Europe who were brought in by Al-Ettifaq and have made a very good contribution, scoring 2 scores with great cooperation.

For Al-Taawon it was a little disappointing that he was too careless and it seemed like this was the start of bad things.
In the last minute when added time he actually made a mistake which for me was very embarrassing whereas after that 3 minutes later he managed to score 1 score and fortunately Mahdioui was able to score or else he would have been embarrassed by a weak club like Abha.

Yes, at least Al ettifaq was able to break a series of bad results in the last few matches because they failed to win and get full points in this match. I admit that Al ettifaq's performance improved slightly because they played well and were able to create 2 goals in this match, each of which was created by Wijnaldum and Gray, Al Ettifaq himself did not concede a single goal in this match so Al Ettifaq was able to get full points without pressure from the visiting team even though he shot several times but was unsuccessful.

Al Taawon failed to get full points in this match even though their opponent was not that tough and is the weakest club in the league but Al Taawon failed to take advantage of this opportunity well so they only got 1 point, meanwhile Abha was very satisfied with the draw because at least they didn't suffer a defeat because Abha is struggling hard to get out of the relegation zone, its position is currently ranked 17th out of 18 clubs.

This was a very impressive victory of course for Al Ettifaq after failing to achieve a single win in many matches, there were at least eight matches in a row where the club coached by Steven Gerrard was only able to produce five points, thus showing Ettifaq as an average team in Saudi pro league.

Meanwhile, Al Taawon failed to get three points when facing Abha, and this is an unpleasant result of course because in terms of quality, there is quite a real difference between the two teams, and interestingly the 1-1 result was a goal created by Al Taawon themselves because Abha didn't even have one shot on target at all, a mistake from defender Al Taawon in stoppage time ruined the three points they almost got.

Correct. Mitrovic is Al Hilal's best player at the moment, he is also the second top scorer with 16 goals, two goals behind C. Ronaldo who is the first top scorer with 19 goals. Apart from that, Mitrovic also succeeded in bringing Al Hilal back against Sepahan in the first leg of the last 16 of the Asian Champions League.

So you could say that Al Hilal's current line-up is very dangerous for all opponents, especially with Neymar's return, of course Al Hilal is getting stronger and I think Al Hilal will set a new record this season. By maintaining consistency until the end of the season, and winning the SPL title with a team that has never been defeated in the SPL.

Mitrovic is a good player and Al Hilal is lucky to have them but Al Hilal has invested heavily to bring in Neymar from PSG so it is only fitting that Neymar can contribute to Al Hilal

Al Hilal so far is a team that has never lost to any team in the Saudi Arabian league, they are really great, their chances of winning in every match are very high, even Al Nassr can't beat them, Al Hilal is truly powerfull

Benzema was previously great player and he managed to have various achievements with Real Madrid, this is why Al Ittihad was very brave in offering him very large salary.
But considering the different circumstances where Benzema is not performing very well, there are various rumors that he will leave Al Ittihad or will be sold at the end of this season, but we don't know whether Al Ittihad will actually do all that or not.
Losing Benzema was also huge loss for Al Ittihad because he was the only hope for Al Ittihad to be able to help in increasing their chances of winning in every match, only after the problems he experienced and caused him to receive suspension made Benzema not perform optimally.
He played but seemed to have no enthusiasm to win and Benzema played as if he had no desire to give Al Ittihad victory, but I don't blame Benzema because seeing how they showed lack of support for Benzema in every match.
Many of the front line players are less dominant and this makes it difficult for Benzema to be able to perform optimally, cohesiveness and greatness of all the players will affect Benzema performance.
When Benzema played with Real Madrid it was clear that all the players gave full support by both playing well but I didn't see that in the Al Ittihad team, if given the choice I sure Benzema would definitely prefer to leave.
He will no longer care about the money given by Al Ittihad because it is useless to get big salary if he still feels pressure and conditions that are difficult to develop well.

High payment salary received by Karim Benzema with Al Ittihad make difficult choose for European teams want to signs him but depend on personal reach agreement Benzema want to reduce his payment salary or not. Karim Benzema have been 36 years old and not easy to get top European teams want to sign him but his salary reduce drastically and I doubt any European teams want to pay him under 50% of salary receiving with Al Ittihad.

Currently Karim Benzema had returned to the club and based on Al Ittihad social media posted he seems happy, I don't know where are speculation come from about Benzema not happy with Al Ittihad and he want leaves his club right now. Right now waiting this season over and looking with how strong possibilities for Karim Benzema leaving Al Ittihad.

With one season in Saudi Professional League for Al-Ittihad, Benzema can get enough money from his salary for retirement. He even played and earned enough money before working for Al-Ittihad and with lucrative salary there, if he feels enough, he will leave.

I believe Benzema does not feel happy in Saudi Arabia and want to leave the nation, the domestic league as soon as possible but he failed to do this in January transfer season and will have to complete this season with Al-Ittihad. It is very unclear about his future in the summer and he might try again to leave.

Al-Ittihad with big budget spent for players and salary since the last summer, actually feel bad and disappointed with a position in middle of table now.

I think the current Al-ittihad coach is much worse than the previous coach. Because in fact, since Benzema was seen training again at the club, it was actually reported that Benzema was ready to defend the Al-ittihad squad again. But the coach reportedly prevented the player from playing and Benzema was deemed not ready. And this meant that Benzema was not played. Even Benzema can only train with other players who are not in the main squad. I don't know whether this news is true or not. But I think the Al-ittihad coach should be able to give Benzema more opportunities. Because benzema comes at a high cost. So the club could also suffer losses if the coach continues to not get along and keeps Benzema from playing. And now the proof is that Al-ittihad was not successful in defeating Navbahor. And can only get a draw. And this is not a good result.

He didn’t settle in well and it doesn’t seem like he’s enjoying his stay that much. His contract does have a high fee and I don’t think any club in Europe would be willing to meet for his sake. He an amazing player no doubt, but he’s not getting any younger also.
Al-Ittihad did recognize his talents and perhaps in a bid to make him feel settled in as well, they made him captain.
It would be quite hard for one to focus on and excel on doing something that there is no heart nor interest for.

after beating DC United with a score of 2-0 in the Friendlies match, now Al-ettifaq brings another victory in the match against Al-khaleej in the Saudi league. Wijnaldum is very great, he scores goals and is very great at taking advantage of opportunities, as is D.gray who is very great in the match. this and scored a goal and the match ended with a score of 0-2 in favor of Al-ettifaq.

However, the next match will be a tough match for Al-ETtifaq because Al-ETtifaq will compete against a strong Al-Hilal team and of course in this match I want to bet on Al-Hilal's victory. but of course we won't know who will win because Steven Gerrard will definitely make a good strategy. However, Al-Nassr certainly wants Al-Hilal to lose because it can reduce the difference points between Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr.
But of course Jorge Jesus definitely won't waste this match and definitely doesn't want to let Al-Nassr get ahead on points.

True. Benzema earned a big salary in Al Ittihad. It is something he won't get in the European clubs. Benzema only gets the same salary if he moved the another team in Saudi leagues. In this matter, he seems to stay in Saudi league whether with Al Ittihad or another teams in Saudi leagues. But since he already played with Al Ittihad and he still has a contract there, I guess he will try to stay with Al Ittihad.

Benzema rarely scored goals when he joined Al Ittihad. Although he is the captain, I don't know why he gets difficulty to score. I assume it is about his adaptation or the bad condition on his physical/fitness. He often gets injury, this should be very annoying for him.
