I saw in an article that Ronaldo's injury was not something serious and that with that he will be able to play against Al Hilal, according to this news site:

knowing that cristiano ronaldo is a player with millions of followers on instagram, and when he arrived in saudi arabia he made many tv channels start talking a lot about this league so having an al nassr game against the team at the top of the table without If ronaldo is not on the field it would be a game in which there would not be much attention, but if ronaldo is playing then this game will have a lot of attention, I see that the Arabs must be gaining a lot with this signing of ronaldo, probably tourism in this country must have increased significantly, more money must be coming into this league from paying for broadcasts from this league

There is no doubt that it was a good move for these Arabs to bring in Ronaldo, but the question will be what will happen after Ronaldo stops playing football? In my opinion, when Ronaldo stops playing football, then this league will go back to the way it was before Ronaldo came to this country, many famous players will no longer want to go to this league, many TV channels will also not want to go to this league. , in other words, the reason this league gets a lot of attention is because Ronaldo is in it and not because the league itself has quality.

I don't agree with the words that are very excessive, more precisely for those of us who are taking part in this competition plus several other Asian countries. I don't mean to underestimate the Saudi Pro League, in fact all our attention will be devoted to the big top European competitions, especially the Champions League.

Speaking of the matches that will be presented in the Saudi Pro League competition this week, the battle between the two rivals will be an exciting and interesting match. The fight between Al Hilal and Al Nassr will be the Big Match of all the fights presented by the Saudi Pro League competition. These two teams will struggle with each other to get full points, in order to narrow or widen the point gap.

For me, Al Hilal has the advantage of having a solid team and also playing as the home team. For Al Nassr, they have the most competitive squad compared to other teams. It's just that there's a little that makes me curious. Al Hilal is superior, even though the odds are quite reasonable at @1.93. It's just that, why are Al Nassr's odds at @3.40. ideally, the difference should not be much different. but let's just wait, the meeting between the two teams will be held.

Al Hilal has everything they need to have to win the Saudi League title and even after Neymar getting injured in this team, I think Al Hilal can be the first hope for the Saudi League at the end of the season even if they can have a great chance for the AFC Champions League with the current team they have, but Al Nassr need to try harder here because a player like Ronaldo came here to win the trophy and that's a shame for them to take anything but the Saudi League title.

If he rejected Al Nassr, he probably rejected Al-Ettifaq as well. Al-Ettifaq isn't a bigger team than Al Nassr, they also have no star players like Ronaldo or Mane. So, De Gea has no reason to join Al-Ettifaq. If De Gea wants to move to SPL, I'm sure he will choose Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ahli, or Al Ittihad. If there is no offer from these teams, I doubt he will come to SPL next season.

You're right, there are no many rumors about the interest of top European team to negotiate with De Gea. But it doesn't mean there is no European teams that has the interest to sign him. I'm sure there will be European teams trying to negotiate with him, specifically the teams in La Liga or EPL. Just wait for the time when De Gea decides to join an European team.

I think Al Hilal are at an advantage in many ways, even though they lost to Al Nassr they didn't lose their place at the top of the table, so they will play without too much pressure. Al Hilal will act as hosts, Al Nassr needs something other than just the Ronaldo factor, I mean the role of other players in contributing to this match is really needed. Al Hilal is the only club whose number of goals conceded is below 10 goals, and its goal productivity exceeds 40 goals in 14 match, this is what Al Nassr must understand.

In the previous Asian Champions League (AFC) event, Al Hilal managed to win over Navbahor with a score of 2-0. This victory confirmed their position in Group D, as well as being important capital to face Al Nassr. Meanwhile, in the same competition (AFC), Al Nassr was held to a draw by Persipolis with a score of 0-0. This is a bad sign for Ronaldo and his colleagues, it looks like in the match against Al Hilal next Saturday, I think they will get another draw.

The competition for the top four in the standings will create an even greater gap in points if Al Nassr fails to make Al Hilal stumble this time. The opportunity for Al Ahli and Al Ittihad to win a trophy is still there but it is a little thinner, it looks like the two clubs will only make the competition for the top four even fiercer, no longer putting pressure on Al Hilal at the top. Nevertheless, there are 19 more matches to make a surprise, but what I am most waiting for is the crazy transfer surprise they can realize.

Al Hila proves to be the better team in this league, because it’s said to win the league, you’ve got to have a good defensive line to be able to prevent your opponent from scoring lots of goals and credits must also be given to their attack line who’s led by Mitrovic, they’ve not lost any game and that’s a great one to watch. Now the match against Al Nassr will be a really tough one and a victory there would be seeing them so close to clinching the title.

 But Al Nassr and Ronaldo wants this trophy badly and would give Al Hilal a heavy run for the league in this match. That’s why it’s a must watch match for football fans, cause it's going to be very tough and interesting since both sides needs the winning so bad, especially C Ronaldo who would want to add to his title collection by toping the league and maintaining consistency to win the trophy.

Looking at these two teams, I would say that Al - Hilal is stronger than the other teams, we just need to see that Al - Hilal has the best defense, they only conceded 8 goals, while Al - Nassr conceded 15 goals, and It's a big difference, Al - Hilal scored 43 goals while Al - Nassr scored 39 goals, and it's a small difference but it shows that Al - Hilal has the best attack in the league, has the best defense in the league and most importantly, the Al - Hilal have not lost in any game, meaning they have zero defeats, while Al - Nassr have already had 2 defeats, this is a big difference in performance. It seems to me that although Al - Hilal don't have a very famous player active on the field (they have Neymar who is injured and won't be available anytime soon and to be honest it seems to me that he won't play for that team when he heals, I mean That's because the team is doing very well without him)

They are a team that has a good coach and has players that are better organized on the field, so in my opinion I see Al - Hilal managing to come out of this game with victory and if that happens then every path for them to be champions will be open, I see how they wouldn't be champions if they win this game against Al - Nassr. I saw somewhere that they were talking about a possible injury to Ronaldo, if this is true and he cannot play in this game against Al - Hilal then it will increase Al - Hilal's chances of winning even more. Either way, I see it will be a good game to watch

Al Hilal has won many seasons of course they also don't want to miss the 2023-2024 season which of course wants to perfect their victory, but I think Al Nassr also wants to repeat its glory like in the 2018-2019 season when it was ranked 1st and at that time Al Hilal is in 2nd place, so I predict that Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal will be candidates between 1st and 2nd place this season.
but sometimes we don't know who will actually be the champion. Yes, if Al Nassr wants to win against Al-Hilal they have to be consistent in their best condition and I think Luis Castro has to be able to implement a good strategy. Likewise, Al Hilal must be consistent in physical condition, but so far Mitrovic and the others have good strength and are always consistently good in the game.

Al Hilal's defense is always tight, always consistent and always difficult for opponents to penetrate in every match. Koulibaly is a great player, but I am reminded of the past about K.Koulibaly when he first came to the Saudi Arabian league. and I think Al Hilal is very good in defense and indeed with the presence of K. Koulybaly Al Hilal's defense has become even better this season.

Al Nassr and Al Hilal are currently only 4 points apart, there is a big chance for Al Nassr to shift Al Hilal's position at the top of the SPL standings, if Al Nassr manages to win this match then by the end of the season, Al Nassr will be at the top of the standings because they are superior by a goal difference. However, Al Hilal is not an easy opponent, they have not been defeated at all, and the strategy used by the Al Hilal coach is very good in suppressing attacks from their opposing team, I can't comment much on this soon match, there is a big possibility that this match will end in a draw.

The competition is fierce between the two clubs and more interesting now is that both clubs have luxurious squads with some of the players coming from European clubs that they brought in at fantastic prices. There is certainly prestige between them and the arrival of European labeled players makes their prestige even higher in my opinion.
They will meet in the coming week, it will be a match that will attract the attention of many people. I hope they can show something that satisfies the eyes in this match.

Although currently Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the two most consistent teams but in fact, at the beginning of the season Al Nassr got results that were not good enough. Because anyway, until this moment that Al Nassr has received 2 defeats, while Al Hilal is still clean because it is unbeaten so far in the Saudi Pro League. Therefore, then at this moment Al Hilal and Al Nassr have a wide enough gap in points I guess, because a gap of 4 points is a gap that makes Al Nassr required to have a better performance than Al Hilal. Moreover, if for example in this match Al Nassr fails to win, then Al Nassr's task will still be difficult to overtake Al Hilal at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings this season.

That could be money, he was asking for a lot of money and this was even higher for Saudi league. However, if you are offered 300k a year by some European team, 2 millions by some American team, and 10 million by some Saudi team, then you do not pick the European club there, you may pick the Saudi one. And when it's about living a decent life then girlfriend will say you already have a decent life, but when offered a HUGE contract, even girlfriend may end up accepting it.

Let's be honest and talk about the elephant in the room, Saudi Arabia is not known as being nice to woman, they literally let them drive alone just recently and that was a big deal, imagine how backwards they are to woman that letting them drive is a big deal, so I can understand why wife or girlfriend of a player wouldn't want it. Maybe it's getting better, but it's still not like Europe for woman.

Cristiano Ronaldo is who we all want to get this trophy at least to really show he’s conquered football in Saudi Arabia, Last season was his debut season and he did well with his team, netting more goals than the champions and that’s what’s pretty shows that the team are champions material and having C Ronaldo is a very big advantage in the team and they could win the league this season or in future.

Now they’ve got another outing this season but Al Hilal could be standing in between them and the trophy.This weekend they both face each other not just for points but also the 2 top scorers go head to head, Ronaldo’s team will come out top of this encounter and shed more light on top position and this match will be one to interest the fans.

A lot of clubs indirectly expressed the feeling that they were not interested in De Gea. That is really sad in my opinion because I think he is a great goalkeeper and he still has good qualities. He can still give a lot to the team that he will go to.  But since the European clubs are not very interested in him,  I think the only option he has to be honest is to go to the Saudi League. He will get a huge amount of money for going there and he will also be able to play as the main goalkeeper of a club. I don't think he's going to get the luxury of being the first goalkeeper of a big European club anymore, to be honest.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the two clubs that look the strongest this season and of course there are many football fans who know these two big clubs, especially Cristiano Ronaldo, who has many fans throughout the world of football and of course Christiano Ronaldo fans always see his appearance on the screen. Al Nassr Club.

Al Hilal is the only club that has not lost this season and in the match against Al Nassr we will see which team is the strongest and most defensive, can Al Hilal maintain this winning record? Well see, it will definitely be difficult for bookies to bet on this matches.

Indeed, something like this is not the latest because last summer Messi almost joined Al-Hilal if only his wife would allow him to continue his career in the Saudi league. The role of family or wife is certainly very important for a player's career and sometimes these players cannot do anything when everyone has to obey their respective wives. David De Gea could make a lot of money like other European players who have already joined the Saudi league but it looks like it won't be the same as the final decision his loved ones want. Now we can only wait for clarity on this rumor in the future because David Dea Gea is a free agent and at any time he can go to the Saudi League if he has made his choice.

Both sides have outstanding players, their frontlines are confident infront of goals. Watching Al Nassr vs Al Hilal is the game of the SPL season, a tough one with spectacular actions. SPL is entertaining, we can easily draw out our predictions on these games and winning becomes so easy for them without facing any challenges. Al Hilal and Al Nassr are the only prominent and popular clubs in Saudi Arabia and have drag attention all over Europe. Everyone wants to watch them perform at world class level which they're not also dissapointing.

The biggest shock in the league is a decreasing performance of Al Ittihad. They got Benzema from Real Madrid but failed to compete with Al Hilal and Al Nassr even Al Nassr had very bad start in this season. If all three clubs continue the same forms as they have been doing, Al Ittihad will fail to defend their title. The season is long and Al Ittihad have time to do something, playing better and hope that both Al Hilal and Al Nassr will have some bad matches.

Money can change his mind or he can change his mind because of the league growth last two years. He is an old goalkeeper and he is smart enough to take any chance to play and get good money before his retirement.

The league has changed a lot since the transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo and if De Gea decides to play last seasons of his career in Saudi Professional League, I won't feel any surprise. I want to see De Gea playing in Europe because he is still a very good goalkeeper and can play at highest level like Champions League.

if De Gea will go sign a contract with Al-Ettifaq I think he is breaking his own rules and what he has said before is just BS or just drama to get a big european club.

previously De Gea stated that he would retire if no big european team would sign him but it was very funny that after approaching the transfer market opening again De Gea made rumors about him coming to Al-Ettifaq while the team in the SPL was not what he wanted.

Its true that everything can change just because of money, but at least De Gea does not need to say anything about the previous thing that would make himself embarrassed as if he were begging a big european team.

Al Hilal and Al Nassr has been the most consistent teams in the Saudi League since the start of the season and considering what they've been able to do in the current league campaign, there's no doubt that a lot of football fans all over the globe will certainly be glued to their screens for their crucial fixture this weekend.

Having been able to not lose a game in the Saudi Pro League this season, Al Hilal is currently at the top of the league standings and four points ahead of Al Nassr who's already lost two games this season. Cristiano Ronaldo who's the top scorer in the league is Al Nassr's most reliable player at the moment and would want to help his team to win against Al Hilal on Friday so they can close the point difference to just one point.
