But I didn't expect that Al-Ahli would have difficulty scoring goals in this match. Even though I hope there are lots of goals in this match. Because Al-khaleej is also a team that is not that strong this season. So Al-Ahli should be able to play better and score more than 1 goal. But this proves that other teams are now getting better. Everyone has adapted well and continues to improve the quality of play this season. And 1 goal in the extra minute of added time was indeed a miracle that was valuable for Al-Ahli's victory. Even though it was only a goal obtained from a penalty kick, it was actually a very high stroke of luck for Al-Ahli.

Today I am looking forward to the Al-Taawoun vs Al-Nassr match. Because I think this match will be the most interesting match this week.

The challenge for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal in the standings, emphasizes Al Hilal's strong performance, especially in terms of a solid defense. The mention of Cristiano Ronaldo highlights the difficulty for Al Nassr to win the domestic league title, with a slim chance hinging on a crucial match against Al Hilal in the second half of the season. The overall sentiment suggests a tough competition and a critical opportunity for Al Nassr to secure points against a formidable opponent.

Left 10 points seems difficult for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal on the top standings position exactly with Al Hilal performance unbeaten on first half season without any teams can defeat them. Al Nassr loss over 3-0 against Al Hilal and likely the same result on second half season when both team face each other again. Current performance in 19 matches, Al Hilal not strong with offensive have scored 59 goals but also they have good defensive with 9 goals conceded and become most fewest conceded goals of Saudi Pro League teams participants in this season.

Cristiano Ronaldo opportunity to win domestic league tittle with Al Nassr not close yet but very difficult to get teams can take points against Al Hilal, left one opportunity second half season when Al Nassr facing Al Hilal they should take three points and wish the other team opponent can get one or three points from Al Hilal.

In as much as we all know that Al Hilal's strength against other Saudi Arabian clubs are significantly higher,  I think it's also great to know that as a team with average quality players, Al Feiha performed well against  Al Hilal yesterday. Considering how clinical Al Hilal have been this season in the Saudi Pro League,  stopping them from scoring a goal till the last seven minutes of normal time is a very good attempt by Al Feiha to get a point from that game yesterday but unfortunately for them, the league leaders still found their way to grab all three points from that game.
Now that Al Hilal's point difference against  Al Nassr is 10, I think  it'll be near impossible to catch up with them at the top of the league standing

Yes, it's true that Al Hilal is indeed very strong at the moment, especially with its striker Alexander Mitrovic who is very productive and competing with Cristiano Ronaldo to become top scorer, now the gap is getting closer. Alexsandar Mitrovic has scored 17 goals and Cristiano Ronaldo 19 goals. This is not only about Al Nassr and Al Hilal is fighting for the Saudi Pro League title but it is also about Cristiano Ronaldo vs Alexsander Mitrovic in the fight for the list of top scorers, but even so I still support Ronaldo in scoring lots of goals for Al Nassr and Ronaldo is still worthy of fighting for it.

Of course it didn't matter because in the end Al Hilal was able to win even though they had to wait a long time. This match was a little tense because Al Hilal seemed to have difficulty breaking down Al Feiha's defense in the first half and in the second half Al Hilal still didn't give up until finally in the 86th minute and In the final minute Al Hilal was able to create 2 goal opportunities at once and achieve victory.

Im not doubting the chance of al nassr to win the game in the upcoming match. Al nassr is far stronger compared to the taawoun in so many aspects. There chance will always there. Al nassr needs to play offensively against it then im sure ronaldo's squad will be winning it.
Al taawoun is still struggling with its performance after it was being humiliated by al fateh. It was a very good momentum for al nassr caused by the lost against fateh might be disrupting the mentality from the club. This is a golden time for ronaldo and his team to destroy it.
AL nassr is very still at this moment and it can beat taawoun with perfect score. Taawoun has not been favored by bookies since it was getting odds greater than 4 while al nassr was around 1.44

It's really worthy to pick al nassr in the upcoming game caused by we do know that which team that is going to win the game. Taawoun got 5.8 which is almost 6 to win against al nassr. It's worthy to take the risk but the chance is pretty small to win against al nassr.
No doubt that if people are questioning it right now. Bookies were favoring nassr coz it has perfect performances in the last five matches. It only suffers 1 lose against al hilal.

Al Hilal is unbeaten and they're very tactical when it comes to facing mediocre clubs, they keep pushing for better results and looks like they're not losing match anytime soon. Every club can fight for their spot in SPL but only few will earned quite important positions. Al Nassr having Ronaldo is like having cheat code in matches, only Ronaldo and his presence is capable of frightening his opponents due to his style of football and he's always up and running for the best results. Cristiano Ronaldo is the first player to bring limelight to Saudi Arabia football. He's a great player that have made history and outstanding records in European football and he's not relenting in achieving and exploring his chances in SPL this season.

Al Nassr will try best to beat Al Taawon to maintain their 7 points less than Al Hilal. If they drop points to Al Taawon, they will see the difference becomes 8 points or 10 points because Al Hilal already won their match.

Al Taawon actually have a good season so far and they successfully stay in top four while the current champion, Al Ittihad continued to drop deeper on the Saudi Professional League standing table. The failure of Al Ittihad is a big surprise in Saudi Professional League as they might fail to defend their title but falling too deep like this is unpredictable when the season began.

Six points is quite far and will be increasingly difficult to catch because Al Taawon will face a difficult match today against Al Nassr, a team that is still trying to maintain the opportunity to continue competing with Al Hilal even though the chances are very small considering that Al Hilal continues to perform very well and consistent with being undefeated and already having quite a big point advantage.
Al Taawon will not be favored against Al Nassr later and my prediction is that it will be difficult for Al Taawon to beat Al Nassr and getting one point is good enough for Al Taawon which continues to experience a decline in performance so currently it is only in fourth position in standing.

Neymar is like other Brazilian players and does not seriously take care of his body. Players from Brazil and Latin American nations usually love parties and they are less professional than players from Europe. So even they have talents, achieve big things at golden time of their career, their performances will drop a lot when they pass their 30s. After 30s, players will have slower ability to recover fitness after each match and training, and if they are not professional to take care of their bodies, from diet to sleep and so on, they will be more sensitive with injuries that will affect their appearances for their clubs.

I read some reports which say Neymar already got problems with injuries in Barcelona before moving to Neymar. At PSG, because of his world transfer record, he and PSG hesitated to make a surgery to solve his injury completely. This bad decision from Neymar and PSG lead to what we see nowadays, his ankles are very sensitive with injuries.

That is who he is, you can't expect someone to change who he is because you pay him, or you are a fan of him, he is who he is and either you accept him the way he is, or just not deal with him. Neymar getting this much money even while not playing because he is injured is not the issue for Neymar, it's the issue for the club.

The club knew that he is a person who gets injured a lot and not take his job professionally, this was known for 15 years now, and not a new thing they learned, and they still paid him that much, which means that they took the chance. When you consider that as an option, I think it's clear that we are in a situation that everyone knew would happen, and nobody in the world got surprised about the results.

F.kessie was indeed a savior for Al Ahli and this match was very exciting and actually in the early minutes Al Ahli had many opportunities but they couldn't be exploited perfectly like in the 36th second and 51st second and in the early minutes Al Ahli was very Extraordinary. and al khaleej was also very great in this match and he created many dangerous opportunities to score against al-ahli like in the 6th minute but unfortunately the al-khaleej players could not take advantage of them perfectly. Yes, I saw that in the second half, Al Ahli really controlled the game and in my opinion, in this match, if the Al Khaleej players had not committed any fouls, it would have been difficult for Al Ahli to score. Fortunately, F. Kessie was able to shoot the ball on target and in the end it resulted in 1 goal for Al-Ahli. Yes, now Al Ahli has 40 points and Al-Nassr has 43 points, but I think it is very difficult to beat Al-Nassr, but if tomorrow Al-Nassr loses to Al-Taawon, it will make Al-Taawon excited and adding points will certainly be a big threat for Al-Ahli.

Yes, it can be said that Al Ahli's performance is very good in matches such as the last 7 matches, but unfortunately Al Ahli has not been able to maximize their points income in the last 7 matches, such as the draw against Al Shabab and other teams. However, Al Ahli's performance has been very good so far, with a difference of 6 points with Al-Taawon, it will certainly make it comfortable for Al-Ahli to be in 3rd place.

The truth is that I saw Al Nassr as a team ready to do things very well, and to be able to generate the best for it, therefore at one point it was notPossible to think that it could be the champion, even though it scored many goals it did not matter. It was enough for the team, I think we all felt a bit of disappointment, I don't know what could have happened, but at least we are left with the fact that these teams are very strange in terms of respect, one goes up and then goes down very easily, maybe like These teams are Managed is something different, now with Respect to the teams and their Performance I really like how they have done it, These Soccer games have many particularities , from the Refereeing to Everything that can be developed, in this sense although it could not be Wearing the hat I praised Al Nassr, who is my favorite team, because I would give them a lot of credit for their players, I like to see the scene they set up , the way they played.


 
Cristiano Ronaldo can break Saudi League record to cap record-breaking year

Of course, we don't think we're going to compare this type of performance that CR7 has with Messi, because the truth is that for me, CR7 has built his football level through sheer effort, even though he's not a natural talent, he's always exercising. at a high level, making him do incredible things with his body, that is why I have always said that CR7, before being a footballer, is a great athlete, for me one of the best in the world, in this order of ideas we can make many comparisons , and among this, we see that he has an impressive amount of goals, above Mbappé and Haaland, regardless of where he is doing it from, it is an incredible record, that is why a player like this will always make the difference, and he is the one who He has opened the doors to the other players in the world who are not in this league, this league can become one of the best thanks to his influence, it is incredible how a player can have such an effect.

We are always going to see that there is a player who dominates the League where he is, in this case each one has a well assigned name, to think that Ten Hag when CR7 is in the MU that the Team's problem was CR7, When all his time was Hag , I wonder what the MU leaders will say now when they let go of such a promising player, who with just his arrival makes the markets rise in favor of the team? This is something that the MU did not see, you have to see that the War that the team waged against him was a strong war, the truth is that the treatment he received in the MU was so ugly that he could not believe that the team he The impetus for his great career is almost the team that ends up burying his career, sometimes it is good or not to go back to the old because it can bring bad things to your life, for that reason the choice he had was great , although it is Speculated that He can return to a club in Europe , possibly Newcastle. I don't know how true it is.

Yeah that's true, but Al Feiha has a reason for that they apply a defensive game and hope to get a point if the match ends in a draw it's just that they forget that their opponent is Al-Hilal as the strongest team and has great players like Aleksandar Mitrovic there really was no way to avoid attacks by Al-Hilal players. Next, it was Al-Nassr's turn to defeat Al-Taawon and I think Al-Nassr will get 3 more points this situation will continue until Al-Nassr plays Al-Hilal next year. I still hope Al-Hilal gets its first defeat so Al-Nassr still has a chance to win the title.

I think the system is contributing a lot to spoiling many of the great talents we have in football. Whether it be players or coaches, isn't it really all about the money? If there was a single club playing on the moon, I am sure that if you pay players and coaches enough money they would take the next rocket and fly to the moon for several years to come back as billionaires afterwards. It's about signing the biggest contract, not about achieving the biggest result. The biggest contract is the result already. If someone like Sten Gerrard decides to go to Saudi Arabia at that age, what should we think about that?

It seems like this match was going quite tough, with the defensive pattern implemented by Al Feiha with a 5-4-1 system. based on match statistics, Al Hilal controlled 73% of ball possession. in the first half, no goals were scored even though Al Hilal had 2 shots on target out of 7 total shots. 1 big chance, 1 hit the goal post. in this match it seemed like the match was going one way, seeing as the home team only had 2 total shots. in the second half, Al Hilal did not reduce the intensity of their game by continuing with an attacking pattern. in fact, it seems that Al Feiha was not given the opportunity to even threaten Al Hilal's defense or goal. looking at their statistics, Al Feiha didn't have any shooting opportunities.

To be honest, I didn't watch this match but it looks like Al Hilal really dominated this match. in the end, Al Hilal opened their lead in the 86th minute, after which Mitrovic scored a goal from the penalty spot in the final minutes of this match. with this result, Al Hilal continues to maintain its positive trend by achieving full points in the 19th week. and it seems that this positive trend will continue with very strong optimism. plus quite solid teamwork. in fact, Al Hilal is the team that has conceded the fewest goals so far. seeing what Al Hilal has shown so far, it is only natural that this team is the favorite to win the Saudi Pro League title again. last season, the Saudi Pro League trophy was won by Al Ittihad. this season, Al Hilal and Jorge Jesus seem to have the ambition to take back the league trophy that usually belongs to Al Hilal. however, there are actually still a lot of games left until this season ends. Al Nassr must consistently maintain a point distance from the top of the standings, while waiting for Al Hilal to slip up in several of their matches.

The worst and most boring part about Al-Hilal is how little resistance they experience from their opponents. Al Feiha didn't have one shot on target and during the full 90+ minutes they had two shots (not even on target though!). I don't know but this season will be a boring one and Al-Nassr disappointed a lot of those fans that were hoping for them to win the title. Ronaldo will probably score the most goals this season, but they won't have a chance to close the gap again and have a say in the fight for the title.

Fortunately, Al Ahli was able to win and successful securing three points, although their goal was scored in the last minutes but that match was very tight. Kessie saved Al Ahli pride in front of his supporters, if he couldn't score through this penalty shot, maybe their fans would feel very disappointed, but fortunately Kessie didn't disappoint at all.
That's right, now Al Ahli have a good record in their last 7 matches. Their performance is quite consistent, so they can still overshadow Al Nassr in the table standings.
The gap between Al Ahli and Taawon is currently difference of 6 points, yes indeed quite far away. Also, tomorrow Taawon will face against Al Nassr. It looks like I think Taawon have little chance to getting three points perfectly in that match.

Again, Al Hilal showed us that they have no strong competitor in SPL this season. The point gap is surely 10 points now and they are still undefeated until matchday 19. Al Nassr seems difficult to overtake the points if Al Hilal can play consistently until the end of the season. This season is simply for Al Hilal, they have a great season. Mitrović scored again in the match against Al Feiha, he continues to increase his total goal to compete for the top scorer in SPL. No doubt that Mitrović is very shining with Al Hilal, he becomes a very productive striker.

I think there is no problem although Al Hilal seems not very easy to win the match. The most important thing that they succeed to get full points to maintain their position in the top of SPL. As long as they could get full points, it means they are safe to finish this season with a title. Well, if Al Hilal wins the title, it is very unfortunate for Ronaldo. He again fails to win the SPL title.

Franck Kessie saved Al-Ahli's face from a draw against Al-Khaleej after he managed to score the only goal in this match in the 90+7 minute which made the match score end with 1-0. This is an important victory, especially since Al-Ahli is the host and the support from the fans who come can produce commensurate results. The additional 3 points make Al-Ahli's hopes of continuing to stay in 3rd position in the standings and continue to overshadow Al-Nassr with only a difference of 3 points.

This is also an impressive record for Al-Ahli, after 7 matches they have never lost at all. Al-Ahli continues to progress and they have managed to maintain their current performance amidst increasingly fierce competition and at least they don't need to be afraid of slipping because Al-Taawoun who are shadowing them are still quite far away with a difference of 6 points.
