Honestly, even Benzema did not have a good impact on the performance of al Ittihad. There have been too many problems that have ruined the chemistry owned by the club. Al ittihad has performed perfecly at the early season but i don't know why it's happening if ittihad got a trouble at the middle of season.
If we are also talking about the next match of Ittihad, I will definitely bet on Ittihad compared to Fateh. Do you know why? Fateh has recorded very bad results in the last five matches, and it makes sense to send our money to Ittihad for the upcoming game.
Al Ittihad's chance to win the game is even bigger. I strongly believe Al Ittihad will be able to beat Al Fateh with a good score. I'm not putting my hope on the Benzema, who is still undoubtfully to play against fate.As long as ittihad will win the game and that's enough.

At the top we have two teams are settled for their spots with Al Hilal is going to be winner and Al Nassr is going to stay at the second spot but for the third spot we are going to have competition between Al Ahli and Al Ittihad even Al Ahli is doing good and have chance, but recent improvement is helping Al Ittihad for having some chance to take this spot which is interesting, and we have 10 matches remaining which can bring good changes.

At the bottom, we have Al Hazam is already settled for the drop, and now we have two interesting games on Saturday which will give some better shape who is going to have chance for to survive with Al Riyadh going to host Abha and Al Akhdoud going to host Al Raad which are surely interesting games which will give how things will be gone for the teams which are fighting hard for survive with Al Taee going to stay here for few more days as they are going to visit Al Nassr which is not easy visit for them at this stage.

The reason why the Saudi Pro is attracting the interest of so many people across the globe is because of the fact that the top clubs in the league are making significant signings especially the ones that involves former European based superstars and that's why a lot of people today talk about the top clubs in the league instead of extending their interests to the bottom clubs in the Saudi Pro League table.
Despite the sudden global recognition of the Saudi Pro League, the management of the league still have a lot to do in other to bring them to same level with top European leagues that most people talk about almost every club in those leagues. For now, majority of the people only know about the top five or six teams in the league but if the league continues to improve, many people will still get to know about the lower clubs and talk about them in time to come

What you are saying is true man, when we all talk about everything that happens in the Arab league it seems that we are indeed too focused to talk about Al Nassr, Al Hillal, Al Ittihad and also Al Ahli, even I think if at the moment it feels unfair for us not to discuss the bottom teams, but despite all that of course the big teams will always be in the spotlight especially we are currently talking about the team that is indeed Containing players who have been the best players in the world, to be honest, it seems that there is nothing interesting for us to discuss about the SPL team that is at the bottom of the table at the moment.

The glory of Al Hillal deserves our thumbs up because they are able to compete with a other team containing big names in their current squad, and I think their performance so far certainly cannot be separated from the unity of the team and also the expertise of Jorge Jesus in implementing their game strategy so far, btw so far Al Nassr has hunted many European star players to fill their squad but continue to fail to win the SPL,  is it possible if the coach is a problem they have to fix next season ?

I think the arrival of Marcelo Gallardo hasn't make any significant progress to Al Ittihad this because since he was train this team on November last year Al Ittihad has been through an 11 matches in Saudi Pro League but they only can collect 5 wins from those matches and even at Asian Champion League Al Ittihad have to eliminate by Al Hilal on quarterfinal stages with final aggregate 4-0 and i don't know what happend to Al Ittihad because this season it's very hard for them to beat Al Hillal because within 2 weeks Al Ittihad have to lost 3 times from Al Hilal

But last week Al Ittihad performance is really impressive because they can able to beat Al Fateh with final scores 4-2 and their main striker Abderrazak Hamdallah was scores 2 goals at that time and this weekend Al Ittihad will gets tough opponent Al Feiha and although Al Ittihad is the favourite but they shouldn't be underestimate Al Feiha because in the last 4 matches on Saudi Pro League Al Feiha was unbeatable and they can collect 3 wins from those matches but indeed the bookmakers only provide low odds for Al Ittihad @1.39 but this time hopefully Benzema will be into Al Ittihad squad after last week absense

The Saudi League competition only attracts everyone's interest when talking about big teams and of course with European players we can often discuss this. I think it will take a long time if you want to talk about the bottom teams because there are no achievements or accomplishments that can be used as a reference. However, if there is a team that is able to advance to the top 4 then that team will start to attract everyone's attention.

It must be admitted that Al-Hilal cannot be stopped this season and it is clear that they will win the Saudi league title even without Neymar since the start of the season. Cristiano Ronaldo seems to have to be willing because in his two seasons with Al-Nassr he was unable to provide anything to the team apart from the Arab Club Champions trophy some time ago. As for the rest, we can see that Cristiano Ronaldo is still very productive in scoring goals, even though this league is not that difficult for him.

In recent seasons, Al Nassr has continued to provide competition in the race for the championship, but unfortunately they continue to fail until now even though they contain quite good players, Al Hillal's ability to win the championship cannot be separated from their consistency and performance this season which is very stable even when they have a more dominant squad containing local players,  Even better, Al Hillal triumphed when they didn't need Neymar in the squad.

To repeat the glory of this season next season is certainly not an easy thing for Al Hillal, because it is certain that other Arab teams will try to strengthen their squad next season, and I think even though Al Hillal is a strong team but still they have to try to bring in some new players next season to defend the title,  Currently Al Hillal is like Leverkusen who continue to be able to keep their path in winning the championship without getting a single defeat in the league, especially now they only need at least two more wins and of course hope Al Nassr can also drop points in one game then they will automatically lock the trophy this season.

Al-Hilal is actually a club that dominates the Saudi Pro League because they have won more league trophies than other big clubs in this league, becoming champions 18 times and runners-up 15 times, even before Ittihad FC became champions last season Al-Hilal scored a hat trick, so actually nothing was surprising because Al-Hilal just went back to doing what they usually do.

What is surprising about this club is that they can be the best even though their star players are not optimal and that does not affect their performance at all because they are not only the most productive team but also the strongest in defense.
It could even be that next season we will still dominate the Saudi Pro League unless the other teams experience very good developments in competing so that the competition here becomes more interesting and the title will be known when there is only one or two remaining matches, unlike now as you said that this is only about Al-Hilal.

We are heading toward a new week now. There will be several ez matches that can give us decent rewards, and one of these matches is Al Hilal vs. Shabab. Al Hilal is now perfectly topping the Saudi Pro League, while Al Shabab is at the 10th position. It's obvious if Al Hilal is going to win the game soon.
There are two options that i think that's worthy to pick.

Firstly, is total over 2.5/2.75

My consideration is now if al shabab is a weak club and al hilal is still consistently defending its record to be unbeaten and im sure that al hilal will able to beat al shabab with pretty good scores. Probably over three goals will happened in this game.

Secondly, Al hilal

It's obvious that even though al hilal is offering a bit less odds compared to the total over 2.75/2.5 but im sure that if al hilal will able to win the game easily even with narrow score.

This is less risk choice for anyone who is willing to get ez money.

Im feeling good with these choices. I prefer to take less risk choice and my plan to pick al hilal to win this game.

Yes, when you look at the relegation zone it won't be any more interesting because they are the worst team in the league. However, if we already find out who will be the champion, it won't be interesting either, because there is no longer any competition to show. Al Hilal is so strong that they can distance themselves from their competitors and now they are preparing to become champions this season.
Cristiano Ronaldo is not the only player on this team, so it is quite surprising when many say he cannot make Al Nassr even better. Also keep in mind that every time a team plays, they will be playing with 11 players, which means that teamwork is required, not just individual work. Indeed, he is one of the best players in the world who has ever existed, but he still cannot work alone. And if we look at Al Nassr's front line, it is actually very good, but they have many weaknesses at the back so that is what makes them difficult.

This is first season as they open their doors for the world after spending huge funds and having good fan base which is surely going to bring more positive and good things in near future because now next 12 years we are going to have too many changes and improvements while they are already having their first target rights for the hosting Soccer World Cup 2036 and their other vision bringing competitiveness in this league which is not easy with need long time as well even they have enough funds but still conditions and many other factors are going to have problems for them.

In this season, we have mostly information's about few top clubs those have imported players hopefully now next season will be brought more updates and news about all other clubs which are now also going to have changes due to their difference of qualify from the top teams and this will surely create good updates about all Saudi League.

You're right bro. The competition to win the title in the SPL can actually be said to be over. Even though there are still 10 matches left in this season, we can see how Al-Hilal's performance has really not wavered so far. In fact, they still have an unbeaten record to this day. Although for Al-hilal winning the SPL is no longer something strange. Because they get it very often. But if this season Al-hilal manages to end the season without losing, it will be a new record for them.

Talking about a team that is in the relegation zone. Nowadays it has become more interesting. But I highlight Al-Ta'ee, where last season this team managed to finish in 9th place, it turns out that this season they have to fight to get out of the relegation zone. This shows that Al-ta'ee experienced a fairly large decline in SPL. But Al-ta'ee seems to be having difficulty getting out of the relegation zone because this week Al-ta'ee has to face Al-Nassr and maybe Al-ta'ee will lose points again in this week's match. Because Al-nassr has a level of play far above Al-ta'ee.

Yes, you are absolutely right, friend. Al Hilal is currently unbeaten by any team in the Saudi Arabian League. Even a team like Al Nasr couldn't beat Al Hilal. So with this the Saudi Arabian League becomes less attractive. Maybe until this season ends, I think the situation in the Saudi Arabian League will continue to feel like this. Because as you said, the candidate to win the Saudi Arabian League is clearly visible, namely Al Hilal. So with this all the matches in the Saudi Arabian League have become very boring. Even when Al Nasr plays, the tense sensation is no longer felt. So if it continues like this, I think the Saudi Arabian League (SPL) could experience a decline in audience ratings. Because currently the situation in the Saudi Arabian League is like just waiting for the season to end and Al Hilal to win. So basically what else should you pay attention to, if the situation is like that?

Maybe the solution is that next season the Saudi Arabian League clubs must work even better. Such as adding quality players (whether players from Europe or not), replacing coaches who don't suit the players. Because in essence the biggest problem currently occurring in the Saudi Arabian League is that there is no balance of quality between the many clubs in the Saudi Arabian League. The reason is, it all started with the many top European players who joined Saudi Arabian clubs in last year's transfer market. But unfortunately only a few clubs are able to bring in these top European players. Such as Al Hilal, Al Nasr, Al Etiffaq, Al Ittihad and also Al Ahli. So there are still many other clubs in Saudi Arabia that do not bring in top players from Europe. Because of this, the balance of club quality in the Saudi Arabian League has become less stable.

And that's why things like this happen (the Arab League becomes unattractive). For this reason, starting next season clubs in Saudi Arabia must be able to strengthen their teams very well. So that the Saudi Arabian League can be more competitive.

I have previously said that the Saudi Pro League is no longer interesting because the competition for the title is no longer as fierce as it was at the start of the season. In my opinion, this is normal because we are about to enter the end of the season, of course the league is not as tight as it was at the beginning and some The club at the top of the standings is trying to widen the gap with the clubs below it so that they don't worry about being overtaken and currently Al Hilal has done that so that Al Nassr is unable to overtake Al Hilal with a large enough point difference, Al Nassr has had to dash its hopes. to win the Saudi Pro League title because Al Hilal is playing more consistently, but at least Al Nassr will be able to improve its performance next season so that it can compete closely for the title and not make too many mistakes like this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo has tried to do his best and despite not being able to bring Al Nassr to the Saudi Pro League title, in my opinion it is not his fault because he is also very productive in creating goals for Al Nassr, even more than Alexander Mitrovic, I think this mistake is not because of one only parties, but Al Nassr must improve its back line so that it doesn't easily concede goals from opposing clubs. If all the players were able to work together well, maybe Al Nassr would still be competing closely with Al Hilal, but because of mistakes in the back line and easily conceding goals, Al Nassr has lost a lot of points as a result of experiencing defeat.

unfortunately, many people are not interested in teams in the relegation zone except those who support those teams or have some form on interest in any of them. Just like you said, this season is done, nothing much at the top because Al Hilal have had their way. The effort of C. Ronaldo was not enough to make Al Nassr his team competitive against Al Hilal despite the huge expectations people had on them. No champion reigns forever, C. Ronaldo had his chance and used it well.

We have tough clubs in the Saudi Pro League and these teams have proven themselves in all angles. Al Nassr and Al Hilal tends to remained the best teams in SPL. I've witnessed no weak spot for Al Hilal that have been running to the top this season. They have targets and they will achieved them in due time. You know the main reason why players makes moves to Saudi Arabia? It's nothing important except for the huge salaries they earned and most of these European players are just playing for the money and no longer for passion.

Talking about Al Nassr hopes of breaking Al Hilal invincible power, it seems like it will only be in vain even if they bring in star players from Europe, but it won't be easy to beat Al Hilal if they only rely on Ronaldo alone, while Al Nassr midfield and backline players is not as strong as Al Hilal.
The difference between these two clubs is very visible and Al Nassr will no longer have any hope of being able to catch up with Al Hilal point difference, which will make it impossible for Al Hilal to experience consecutive defeats that don't make sense and from this point difference it is clear and it is certain that Al Hilal will lock in this season title.

In fact, there is still hope that a European star player like Ronaldo can give a good award to get the Saudi Pro League title, but this can be achieved next season, but after making changes to the defensive line players to create a strong wall foundation for Al Nassr's defense.
After there were quite convincing changes, Al Nassr was able to take advantage of opportunities when the season started with a more consistent performance and continue to secure wins or at least get a draw to continue adding points consistently.

In last ten years we have Al Hilal five time champions with Al Nassr hold the trophy for the three times and Al Ahli and Al Ittihad its mean it's all about PIF which is holding these four clubs with their huge investments even in last year we have all top players in these clubs which are clearly showing how things are going here in this league and suddenly few days back we have new update due to huge loses now they are not going to spend any penny for the new signing as well because they are fail to have any positive return from their huge investment on top European players.
Even I believe they have done good work but still many things needed to be fixed if they are looking for the better success in this league they have to go wide open and also needed bringing new owners in this league for these top clubs which create good competition and also do work for the competitiveness which is important now Al Hilal is going again with all top four clubs are still hold control mean things are not going to be open as we needed.

I would say that "competitive" is not what they were really after, because if that would be the case they would get players who would be free agents and still good and not people who are about to retire. They didn't really look for talent, or just talent, they looked for fame, so that they would be able to say that they are doing fine. They are paying hundreds of millions of dollars to Italy and Spain just to have their cup games there, do they get anything from it aside from fame?

They are looking for more viewers that's it, they want popularity and that's about all the things they require. This means that some teams got lucky and got better players than other teams which ended up being the most important part.

Arab League is the latest destination for former European star players today, it is none other than because the Arab League is now starting to be quite competitive and also inseparable from the salary offers and luxurious facilities they offer to these star players, now the Arab League has entered the last matchs of the this season so I think it will be difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hillal at this time,  although now the season still has 6 games left it is certainly very unlikely that Al Nassr can match or even get close to Al Hillal who have so far performed quite consistently in the league with not losing even once, I think Al Hillal only need 3 more wins to make them able to celebrate the championship this season.

I think the competition in the Arab league today is no longer interesting after Al Hillal running their rivals far enough, but one thing is certain for the failure of other Arab teams in the league this season will certainly spur them to spend a lot of money in the transfer market next season for player spending, currently in Europe many great players who are old and also enter the end of their contracts,  So it is possible that strong competition will occur between Arab League clubs later in the transfer market to get the star player.
