Topic: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 - page 408. (Read 112533 times)

It is a relatively close race between the top teams in the Saudi Professional League, but I believe that over the course of the whole season the form that Ronaldo and Mane are in as of now may pay off for Al-Nassr despite the fact that they are slightly trailing. The next three games for Al-Nassr are not that hard and are all must wins. If they get the full 9 points out of the 3 games, I think they might be close enough to then take on Al-Hilal and Ittihad in December. If they play well and win those games, they might possess the lead by the beginning of next year.

Mitrovic will always be the key as the spearhead in the Al Hilal squad. however, what is dangerous are several other players, who are also productive in terms of scoring goals. Malcom, in his 10 matches, has scored 6 goals. This player was often rotated as a center forward before Mitrovic was brought to King Fahd Sadium. Michael, a foreign player who really understands the Al Hilal squad. He has always been an important part of the squad, even though currently he is often left out because of Neymar. Now, Neymar is injured and he can actively play again. Al Dawsari, a local player who has quite good talent. Not infrequently, he shows his neat game. This player has contributed at least 6 goals in 10 matches with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League. Apart from that, Al Hilal has other players who contribute quite a lot, such as Segej Savic and Ruben Neves. These players have always been Jorge Jesus' mainstay when his team played match after match.

On the other hand, as we all know, Al-Ahli also has former top European players. Unfortunately, Firmino had difficulty scoring goals. he only scored a hat-trick on his first debut in the Saudi Pro League. After that, he no longer scored any goals in this competition. As for Mahrez, this player is a winger, he cannot always be expected to score goals even though he has scored 4 goals in his 10 matches. Likewise with Allan Saint-Maximin, he has only scored 3 goals so far. It's natural, he's not a pure sticker.  which means that in the meeting between these two teams, Al-Ahli must be wary of Al Hilal. moreover, Al-Ahli played as the away team. The victory they achieved against Al Ittihad may not be possible for them to achieve when competing against Al Hilal. In fact, I supported the home team in the battle between these two teams when it was held.

Agree. Al-Duhail in this match really deserves praise, even though they lost, they managed to pose a threat to Al Nassr, this can be proven by them managing to score three goals in that match. They have put in real resistance and hard work in this match, but in every match there are definitely winners and losers.


I feel that on the contrary, from the past until now CR7 has always been the best of the best players. Playing anywhere and still being able to play well, CR7 is still able to maintain game consistency at the age of 38. At that age it is not easy to play against players who are 10 years younger or even 18 years younger than him. CR7 is also good at finding positions, hard kicks with right and left feet, good heading and complete. So it's natural that Bruno Fernandez finally praised him, CR7 is a magical player.

Currently, Ronaldo is still at the top of the top scorers list in the Saudi Pro League with 11 goals at the moment. But for the AFC Champions League, Ronaldo just has 3 goals so far, and the first position is filled by Aleksandar Mitrovic who plays for Al Hilal with 4 goals at this moment. So yes indeed, at least there is still a great chance for Ronaldo to be able to take over the top scoring position in the AFC Champions League. If Ronaldo manages to take over, then of course this season Ronaldo has a great chance to be able to win the top score in the Saudi Pro League and also in the AFC Champions League and of course, it is also a great achievement.

From what I saw in the game between Al Nassr against Al Duhail, I can definitely say they could get a draw in this match as the best result because Al Duhail is not a team to stand against a strong team like Al Nassr.
Also, the interesting thing about the match between these two teams is we know the difference between these two teams was Ronaldo, and thing without this player Al Nassr could not beat Al Duhail.

Neymar would have made a lot of impact in the Al-Hilal squad but his injury problems have began to deprive the club from his skills and experience. But thankfully the club is not doing badly both in the local and continental League. They are number one in the Saudi Professional League three points above second placed  Al-Taawoun. While they are occupying the second position in Group B in the AFC Champions League.


The current highest goal scorer in the AFC Champions League is Al-Hilal SFC's Aleksandar Mitrovic. The Serbian forward have scored four goals in three games. Cristiano Ronaldo is joint second position with three goals in three games. But with his recent form and it he is free from injuries, we could see him scoring more goals.

Who will beat Cristiano Ronaldo now will not be an easy way to go. He's taking leadership role in the league as an entirety. My assumptiond from beginning was that he perform greatly well as a star player that he is but his performance won't last long since he's close to the brink of his career.

I thought Neymar Jr and Karim Benzema will also shine like stars in the league too but I've not been so impressed by their performance. Especially that of Neymar Jr. The injury that guy has landed him self is a total discouragement to his club. With that injury, it will take him almost a season off and for me it is a total wastage.

Who do you think can overtake Cristiano Ronaldo in the league right now?

There is a 4-point difference between them and Al Hilal is currently the leader. Al Ahli has no choice but to beat them. They also have the opportunity to close the point gap between them with a win. Considering this, there are many sources of motivation for Al Ahli. If Al Hilal wins, it will push Al Ahli out of the race.

 Al-Hilal has been a very tough team in the Saudi Pro League even before the arrival of most top European players into the league they've been the champions over 18times and have won it more than anyother team in the Saudi Pro League, i think this season there's a very high chance of them winning the league title to make it he 19th time cause their performance this season is very brilliant and they've maintained the 1st place in the league for a while now and even the only team that's yet to be unbeaten.

 However with or without Neymar Jnr I think Al-Hilal are going to continue performing well, he's not really created a big impact for the team since his arrival and they were already doing fine before he joined the team, moreover the team also has several good European players presently in the squad especially their striker Mitrovic that's a very good finisher.

The thing about Al-Hilal is they are strong with or without players like Neymar and Al-Hilal is the favorite in the Saudi Arabia in every season. Even in the AFC Champions League they usually have a much higher chance compared to the other teams.
I think if they bought Neymar it was mostly because of the marketing because they didn't even need this player.

I can see a Cristiano Ronaldo top scorer in wo champions League the Europe one and the Asian one, but still time to see that.

I already said this, but really good to see him again finding his place and being  handy in the team.

I think that all of eyes being concentrated into the match between al hilal vs ahli. It's caused by these teams are the strongest team in the saudi pro league this time. Al hilal being favored to win the game even though it will be playing without its key players,.
IMO, it's really wise decision to pick al hilal here caused by the odds offered to pick hilal is far better compared with over 2,5 and btts. Over 2,5 would be easy to achieve caused by these teams will be playing aggresively against al ahli.
This is the most awaiting match for this week. I expect al hilal to perform out of box against al ahli especially for mitrovic. This guy is very ready in beating al ahli easily.

Cristiano Ronaldo saving the day again. This guy is still a machine. And did you guys see the goal that he scored with his left foot? This guy does not know what is the meaning of having a “week foot “. Mane scored his first. That was good to see. And I also have to talk about the passing of Cristiano Ronaldo. I think he has realised that even though he is different with the best player in the team,  it will still be a better outcome if he does not go for the goal every every single time he gets the ball. I have one question. What if he went to Manchester City instead of Manchester United?

This season, no one has been able to beat Al Hilal. So you could say Al Hilal is in its best performance at the moment. Meanwhile, Al Ahli have lost twice this season. That way, if you look at the history of matches this season, Al Hilal can be said to have the potential to win the match. Although currently Neymar is injured and will not play. However, there are still great players like Mitrovic and Michael who are ready to attack Al Ahli's defense. But even so, Al Ahli is no less great than Al Hilal. The reason is that currently the main players such as Firmino, Riyad Mahrez and Allan are in a condition that can be said to be quite fit. So it is possible that in the upcoming match Al Ahli will provide an unexpected surprise for Al Hilal. Therefore, the upcoming match will definitely be very fierce and very exciting. The reason is, on the one hand Al Hilal wants to maintain its current top position and on the other hand Al Ahli is also trying to reach the top of the standings. So the point is that both teams will definitely play very well in the upcoming match.

Al-Duhail deserves praise. Not only because of the goals they scored in the second half. But in the first half they also almost scored against Al-Nassr several times. And in any case, Al-Duhail seems like this team can put up a good fight against a club filled with European super star players. And it's not easy. So as you said, I really have to give my praise and appreciation to Al-Duhail.

I don't know if this is just my feeling or maybe you also feel that the quality of CR7's game this season is getting better and better, like returning to his youth. Not only at Al-Nassr but CR7 also appeared impressive in the Portuguese national team. Even Bruno Fernandez, who is usually quite indifferent about CR7, is now starting to speak up and praise CR7. And in the match against Al-Duhail we could also see how CR7's passes and assists were truly beautiful and it reminded us of his best performance when he was young.

Hilal will be only playing with mitrovic as the key to win the game against ahli. Ahli had so many great players in its club unlike al hilal which was only able relying upon mitrovic. I hope that al hilal will able to take full points from al ahli. There are so many threats from ahli.
Al hilal must be careful with it but im all in al hilal. It's caused mitrovic is a very great striker and he can carry the team alone with so many goals being made by him.
Im not even doubting mitrovic's performance to face al ahli. Ahli needs to be careful with it. It's caused by the club is always winning with big scores.

Defense is really the last problem for Al-Nasr that needs to be solved, if they can do this then perhaps I will even think that they have reached the level of a medium-strong European club.
Ronaldo continues to amaze, but besides the beauty of the goals (especially the first one scored from outside the penalty area), I was struck by how he assisted - it’s a pity that Mane missed twice when he headed after Ronaldo’s passes, those would have been masterpiece goals too.

Al Duhail put up a strong fight but lost. A 4-3 match is quite a thrilling one, especially since Al Nassr was leading 3-0 for most of the game. It was an entertaining match. Ronaldo and his team won. Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals and assisted in Al Nassr's 4-3 victory, which puts them at the top of their group. Ronaldo has now scored 3 goals and provided 2 assists in the AFC Champions League in 3 games. However, Al Nassr needs to work on their defense. Despite their strikers scoring many goals, it's clear that the team is conceding a lot of goals at the same time.

Beating Al-hilal seems to be very difficult for any team in the Saudi Pro League to do. But still, sometimes even the strongest team always has weaknesses and weaknesses. And sometimes they can't always maintain the good performance they have in every match. Well, there are times when the strongest team has to lose to a team that is not even the favorite.

 And currently we are talking about Al-Ahli which is also one of the strongest teams this season. So for me Al-Ahli still has hope of beating Al-hilal. But of course it will be a very difficult task and I agree that there is a big possibility that the match could end in a draw. And I also hope that this match can end in a draw.

You have to give credit to the club from Qatar Al-Duhail because when the score was 3:0 in favor of Al-Nasr they got together and scored 2 goals and made the score 3:2 and if not for the excellent 4th goal from Cristiano Ronaldo it is still unknown how the match would have ended, because the third goal then Al-Duhail scored. Ronaldo should be mentioned personally, because 2 of his goals are his merit, especially the third goal of Al Nasr when from the left foot from outside the penalty area, he scored into the far corner, as in his best years.
