Since the previous defeat in the Arab Champions Club final, Al-Hilal has become even more motivated to take revenge. I feel that both teams will put on a world class match and like strong teams in European competitions this match will be very heated. Moreover, most of the squads for both teams are filled with European star players and of course the strengths of each team will be very balanced. Al-Nassr must catch up on this point difference and if they succeed in winning this match then their chances of overthrowing Al-Hilal will be greater, but it seems that Al-Hilal will not let that happen. It is quite difficult to determine who will win and betting on the BTTS result (Yes) is the safest option by far.

If it was aimed only at Al Nassr, I think it would be unfair to other clubs who are working hard in Europe. If there was 1 special ticket for the Saudi League, I think it would be more appropriate for it to be for the champion of the Saudi Professional League who represents it. not aimed at a particular club.
somehow it will happen but I rather believe it won't.

Maybe, but is MLS has gain a lot traffic? to be honest it's very rare I get a news about Inter Miami except when Messi officially joined their team.

The medias can't give any reaction to Messi because Inter Miami is currently in 14th position from 15 teams. Messi can't change anything in Inter Miami, surprisingly the medias blame Inter Miami's performance instead of Messi aka the best player in 2023, if he's the best player Inter Miami must be at least in top 3.

Speculation arose because Ronaldo was in the Saudi Pro League, not because they saw any improvement in quality in this league, so it is clear that they are only trying to increase the number of spectators at UCL matches because of Ronaldo's presence.
If that happens, maybe there will be leagues in Europe whose participation numbers will be sacrificed, but the problem is how much SPL will get a share? and also if the target is only Ronaldo, that means Al Nassr must be in the UCL spot in their league standings, what if the club also fails?
But what concerns me more is how they can compete with teams from Europe, I doubt there will be anything surprising that clubs from the SPL can do in the UCL. I think something embarrassing will happen where they won't be able to win even once in the group phase, and they also have to think about changing the name, no longer the UEFA Champions League because the Saudi Pro League is not included in UEFA.
The most likely thing to happen is that FIFA will create another competition to make this happen, where European teams and the SPL compete in one competition, but another doubt arises whether the number of spectators will be like the number of spectators at UCL? because we know now that football is not just about sport but business..

I think the rumours might actually be true. Because of course, the team of Cristiano Ronaldo is really popular. And that has happened just because of Cristiano Ronaldo for sure. I am not going to be surprised if they are somehow included in the Champions League. But I wonder how it is going to happen. I really want to see Cristiano Ronaldo perform in the Champions League competition though. Maybe finally some good things happening in his life. I don't think anyone is going to agree that he deserved to phase these problems in his career, especially at this stage.

Out of the 4 teams which are being funded by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF), I would say that Al Nassr and Al Hilal are the ones who are performing at top. The other two (Al Ittihad and Al Ahli) are being bogged down by different issues. Al Ahli is heavily dependent on players such as Allan Saint-Maximin and Franck Kessié. But they are in a decent state now, and are 3rd in the points table. Al Ittihad is in worse position. They are 5th in the table and recently they lost matches against weak teams like Al Shabab.

Watching Al Hilal games, we also watch the performance of outstanding players specifically from Europe, Cristiano Ronaldo and with the likes of Sadio Mane. The exact same thing in Al Hilal were we watch the world-class performance of Mitrovic. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the evident strong teams in Saudi Pro League that are popularly recognizable by European teams and supporters. These teams have exceptional players and I'm aware how competitive they can be when it comes to elite competitions and league games, the coaches and the players doesn't compromised any opportunities they have to anticipates in big contests.

If we look at the squad that has found balance in formation and resilience in all their lines, then Al-hilal is clearly more reliable. It's just that Al-Nassr's attacks are currently being taken into account. Which makes everyone confused about which club to favorite. Only the results of the match will be able to answer the truth of all the speculation and predictions made. But one thing that I am absolutely sure will happen in this match is that there will definitely be a lot of goals scored. Like Al-Nassr would concede and then hit back. or vice versa. 

I seriously doubt they would let them play at UCL, not a chance. I understand that these teams are spending a lot of money, and they are getting a lot of views as well, but we are talking about getting in early, and even if the yare "allowed" some way, it looks like their league is way below to be considered, they wouldn't get all that much points.

Remember, national league points are the ones that decides which teams gets to send who to where, and bigger nations send 4 teams to UCL, whereas smaller leagues not only send just one, but those ones end up playing knock out stages too.

This means that we are going to end up with a situation where even if they are allowed (which I doubt) they would still not be able to send much.

Even though Al Nassr looks very popular in the Saudi pro league, it is still too early to compete in the champions league, even though you definitely know how the clubs that can be included in the champions league list are big clubs with quite good experience strategies, even though Al Nassr can be popular because of Ronaldo and Sadio Mane and the process hasn't been long and for me this will just be a rumor and that's too much for me.
Even though Al Nassr is a strong club from the Saudi League, the Champions League and the Saudi Pro League are different. The level of strength is different. I think even though Al Nassr has Ronaldo and Sadio Mane who have experience in the European league, Al Nassr doesn't just rely on them because the Champions League is a football event. the biggest football in Europe and if Al Nassr participated it would definitely feel unfair to other Saudi clubs including Al Hilal.

Neymar suffered a horrific injury during Brazil’s 2-0 defeat to Uruguay, he had undergone surgery to treat the ruptured anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus, Neymar is expected to be out of action until at least the end of the season and according to Saudi Arabian outlet Arriyadiyah Al-Hilal are considering deregistering him from SPL for the current season to make room for a foreign player.

 Neymar is a very good player and the SPL are bringing in the big names to let the league go global and grow, well asides that Al-Hilal goalie has been outstanding this season with some nice saves and goal stopping moments, Al-Nassr and Ronaldo are really given Al-Hilal a run for the title and any slip right now could see Al-Nassr get top of the standings.

Arab Champion Cup is important and competitive for all SPL teams. The coaches of these teams keep planning on how to overcome oppositions in games and ready to achieved major trophies for their clubs. Old record are broken and new records are set in every season, we should not expect what happen in past decades to happen this present season, we witnessed elite teams in their prime and they have achieved brilliant results. Al Nassr and Al Hilal are tough competitor, each club will scout out the necessary energy needed to produce good results.

If we look at the record of their meetings in the last 5 meetings, Al Hilal is superior by incising 3 wins, and Al Nassr can only record 1 victory that they got in the last meeting in the Arab Champions Cup match, and the other 1 ended in a draw.
But even so, we cannot take their meeting record as something that guarantees the same thing will happen, surely this match will show something different, both from Al Nassr and from Al Hilal. Now their strength is also much different.
There is no doubt that both clubs will go all out in this match to achieve what they set out to do in the first place.

At least, there is still plenty of time to be able to prepare a better squad and performance. So ya, of course Al Nassr will have great ambitions to beat Al Hilal in this match. It doesn't matter that Al Nassr is playing away because anyway, if Al Nassr loses by Al Hilal in this match, it will be even more difficult for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal. Therefore, although Al Nassr is just to make the points gap closer but still, it is the best way for Al Nassr in this match because this match will be a great opportunity for Al Nassr to continue to pressure Al Hilal at the top of the table.

Thanks to Ronaldo, SPL has risen to a very different level. I congratulate Al Nassr for bringing Ronaldo. Saudi Arabia Pro League has now become a league followed by the world. The biggest factor in Al Hilal bringing these players to the team was Ronaldo. I know this and it gives me great pleasure to watch the championship race between the two. I hope Al Nassr wins because I would like to see CR7 win the title.

This meeting will be held on December 2 next month, I can't confirm which team will be superior. remember, both teams are equally strong. However, if we refer to other depth, Al Nassr has more competitive players. However, from another perspective, Al Hilal is slightly superior when referring to the H2H meeting between these two teams. However, in the last match in the Arab Club Champion Cup competition, Al Nassr was able to beat Al Hilal with a score of 1-2.

Well, this match is in the League competition and Al Hilal is playing as the home team. plus, Al Hilal now has Mitrovic. It seems that the match will bring prestige between these two teams. Let's see how prepared these two teams are, and what the coach is planning. However, before this prestigious meeting, the two teams will play two matches first. Only after that, we will watch two rivals compete against each other. Honestly, I wouldn't rush into confirming which team will win it. although not infrequently, Al Hilal dominates the victory. Only, this time it's different. Al Nassr is a very competitive team. Well, there's no other way but to wait before this match takes place.

Good news with Saudi Pro League teams Al Nassr.

According to Saudi Arabia journalist tweet on his twitter @alharbi_44, UEFA are interested to extend an invitation Al Nassr for participating in UEFA Champion League season 2024/25 being with Cristiano Ronaldo teams is most popular club. Its looks good news if this rumor true and UEFA are interested want to give one spot place for Al Nassr in Champion League competition. During this rumor publishing there are still not respond with UEFA European teams participants are agree or not with Al Nassr as team participant in Champion League next season, I don't think easily for Al Nassr participating in other region on competition exactly have too long located between Al Nassr home with European teams home.

Despite about this rumor not official confirmed yet by UEFA, its looks how famous of Saudi Pro League competition after invasion with many top European player and make several teams have been famous such as Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Ittihad.

In week 15, we will see a big mtch between Al Hilal vs Al Nassr, which will be held at King Fahd stadium, which is the headquarters of Al Hilal. I can't wait for these two clubs, these two clubs who are in very good form will meet to see who is better than them in the first meeting of the season. Currently Al Hilal are at the top of the table, assuming both clubs can win in week 14, then they still have a 4 point diference. A defeat will not shift Al Hilal's position in the table, but it will affect their points difference which will be even closer.

The meeting between Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be held in week 15, it is true that both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will face two different matches first, in the SPL and in the AFC Champions League. At the moment I think it is very difficult to predict the final result, because there are many possibilities that could happen in their first two matches. I agree, if Neymar is not absent then this match will be the one that attracts the most attention of everyone, especially those in the Asian region.

I think in week 14 the two of them will not lose points, before the meeting between the two actually takes place on December 2. For now, the difference in points is only 4, there is still a big chance for Ronaldo and his colleagues to catch up, even though Al Hilal has so far not been defeated. I think it will be very difficult to be consistent and unbeatable in the future.

So Al itihad have a new coach....
