Al Taawon usually uses a 4-3-3 formation. However, against Al Hilal, they used a 5-3-2 formation. Coach Al Taawon knew that fighting Al Hilal would not be easy and decided to use 5 defenders. maybe if they don't do that, there are still many more goals that Al Hilal can get.
However, Al Hilal currently leads the standings, leaving behind Al Nassr and Al Ahli. If Al Hilal's play is consistent like this, this season's SPL trophy might be theirs.

Zero score for taawound. This is enough to explain that if al hilal has a very strong squad at this moment. Mitrovic is always playing so crazily. This guy is even far better than benzema. Totally underrated striker at this moment.
No doubt that if al hilal was paying him a lot from fulham. Mitrovic is always able carrying its club like this guy is the true savior from the club.

Im still confusing many people are still questioning the performance from al hilal while the fact that hilal is at the first place at this moment. It sounds non sense to call al hilal has small chance to beat taawoun which was easy opponent for al hilal.
Al hilal will be dominating the league. I hope that al nassr will struggle with ronaldo gets injured.
Gogogo al hilal. I think that the trophy can be awared to the al hilal. This club is too strong.

But after Nuno Espirito Santo was fired as the coach of Al-ittihad, it turned out that this really made a big change in Benzema's performance. For example, in last night's match we could see Benzema being more aggressive than usual. In fact, it was amazing that Benzema was able to score 3 goals in that match. Now I understand that star players can experience a decline in performance when they don't get along with the coach the club has. This has happened not only to Benzema. but also with CR7 when he was at Man Utd and at Al-Nassr last season when Rudi Garcia was still the Al-nassr coach, we can see that CR7 looks like Benzema, who also didn't seem very motivated.

Reportedly, Nuno Espirito Santo had an argument in the dressing room with Benzema. And it seems that Nuno Espirito Santo is putting too much pressure on Benzema because he thinks Benzema should be an example for other players. Even though a coach's attitude should be neutral towards all players. Because I now understand that even star players don't want to be overrated by their coaches. Or don't want special attention. They want to be considered the same as other players. So that the burden on the squad can still be borne by all players equally and not only borne by the star players.

Al Hilal seems to be better than all the teams in the Saudi league, they keep winning matches and they don’t show any signs of slowing down. I think it is too early to predict who wins the league but if they continue like this Al Nassr will find it difficult to keep up.

Mitrovic is really closing in on Ronaldo with just 3 goals behind him, if will be a good challenge for them to fight for the highest goal scorer but i still think it will be difficult to catch up to Ronaldo considering the number of goals Al Nassr recently scores in matches and also Ronaldo is more likely to score 3 goals in a match than Mitrovic and if he scores an hattrick it will become a huge gap for Mitrovic to catch up.

The team taking home the SPL crown is still unknown right now but it definitely will be between Al Hilal and Al Nassr because they are the two teams with a different mentality, a winning mentality. I just wait for their match against each other to see the best team in the league this season. I believe any team that wins will become the champion of the league but i expect a draw from the fixture though Al Hilal have higher possibility to win because they have a stronger defense than Al Nassr.

The match has ended in favor of Al Hilal. The final score of the match was 2–0. It was actually a very dominant performance from Al Hilal, to be honest in this match. They did not give too many chances to their opponent. Al Hilal had at most control over the match. Al Hilal was also controlling the ball for the majority of the match. It really did not look like it was a match between two top teams of the club. It really felt like Al Hilal was at the top of the table and they were facing the team. That is probably mid-table.

Al Hilal's performance this season can be said to be in very good condition. The reason is that Al Hilal this season has been a very productive team, without a single defeat against other teams. So I personally have a prediction that Al Hilal is a very strong candidate to win the Saudi Arabian League this season. Even though in second place there is still Al Nasr who can catch up with Al Hilal in first place, if Al Hilal continues to play well like now, I think Al Nasr will have difficulty catching Al Hilal. Because in reality Al Hilal does have very good players and their quality is very even. So even without Neymar, as we know, Al Hilal can be a very scary team and very fierce on the field.

Yes, I agree too. Even though Al Hilal did not recruit Neymar, Al Hilal's performance will definitely remain good.

However, in my personal opinion, the reason Neymar was recruited by Al Hilal was of course to make the club's name famous in the eyes of the world and also of course to strengthen Al Hilal so that its performance would be even more perfect. Because it was proven, when Al Hilal brought in Neymar in the last transfer market, the name of the Al Hilal club was quite famous in the world. But even so, I personally think Neymar's performance at Al Hilal is also not bad. Because if Neymar is not injured at this time, I am sure Al Hilal's performance will be even stronger. So in essence, by bringing in Neymar, Al Hilal has two advantages. Namely superiority in terms of team strength and also in terms of team popularity.

And it's true, if Al Nasr wants to continue competing on a safe line with Al Hilal, then Al Nasr must not experience a single defeat. Because if Al Nasr only gets one defeat, I'm sure Al Hilal will be on the safe side to win the Saudi Arabian League.

Al Ittihad's performance has not been good this season. Maybe all of this is caused by poor communication between players and coaches. Because as far as I know, Benzema often doesn't get along with his coach (Nuno Santos). Maybe because this had an impact on Al Ittihad's poor performance on the field.

The player who is quite influential in the Al Hilal Team is none other than mitrovic, Where He is one of the player who contribute quite a lot in every match by scoring Goal and bringing Al hilal to victory. Al Hilal does not depend on Neymar at all because before his injury nyemar was also unable to make a big enough impact from his performance. so in other words, Al Hilal will try hard to maintain their best form from the pressure put on them by Al Nassr on the standings.

But yes, speaking of their match in today match, Of course they played quite impressively from the first minute. Moreover, Al Hilal plays in front of his supporter, Of course their confidence is good enough to win this match. Apart from that, Today match also requires quite a lot of effort to win the match against Al taawon. I think Al Hilal will be able to reach a stronger level of self confidence after successfully maintaining their concentration while remaining undefeated so far.

For now we can say Al-Hilal is unstoppable team but let's wait on 2 December when Al-Nassr came as an away team, can Al-Hilal maintain Unbeaten record ? well we can't be sure but because this is a big match everything can happen, Al-Hilal wants to stay at the top of the standings while Al-Nassr is ambitious to take over so we will see an open fight between the two teams. Besides this fight is also a proof of who is the greatest team and competition between Ronaldo and Mitrovic as top scorer, Mitrovic slowly approaching Ronaldo only need 2 or more goals to take over.


I did not follow the news of this team what I know is that their performance continues to decline, but yeah if the change of coach can improve their performance then that's the right step at least we see Al-Ittihad get another 3 points today. Al-Ittihad still has plenty of time to catch up at least to get a better position not for the title, they have been excluded from the title hunt imo.

well, Al - Hilal managed to win in the game they had against Al taawon, it was a game in which Al Hilal, who are at the top of the table, came as favorites, they have 13 games without having any defeat, they are obtaining very consistent victories this season with current coach Jorge Jesus, I commented here about Al - Hilal's coach, I said that he has always been an excellent coach, whenever he takes on a team he manages to make that team play very well and be a winning team. and he is proving it in the Arab league this season. see that neymar is not playing and yet Al - Hilal is doing very well without him

This proves what I said when I heard the rumor that Al-Hilal wanted to sign Neymar, I immediately said that this team didn't need him and that he wouldn't play most of the games of the season, I read somewhere that the Al - Hilal coach did not register Neymar and will look for another player in the next transfer window so that he can replace him while they wait for him to recover. Be that as it may, it is a fact that the team is doing very well so far and with the victory in that game, it requires Ronaldo's team to win in their game too, a defeat for Ronaldo's team would make them further away from Al - hilal

Benzema's team also managed to win, in a game in which they scored 4 goals and conceded 2 goals, this is a very bad season for Benzema's team who were champions last season, now that they have good players, they are not playing well , this is very strange, I don't understand what is happening to them that they are having this bad performance, in the last 5 games, this was their only victory. In other words, in 5 games they only had one victory. I doubt they can become champions

Yes. Benzema is a superstar player, surely he brings an impact to Saudi League and his club (Al Ittihad). He is the captain of Al Ittihad team now, he will have a bigger role for the team. I don't really know about his issue with the coach, I only know he has a problem with his fitness due to injury. But it seems Benzema already played with his best again. He scored hattrick in the match against Abha today. He will help Al ittihad to return to the top 3 again.

If we look at their performance in the last season, Benzema and Kante still can't bring big impacts to the team. I think Benzema or Kante needs time to adapt with their new teammates. Well, about defending the title, I doubt if it is possible. I think only Al Nassr which can compete with Al Hilal.

Al-Hilal is unstoppable and every team facing them should know that they can receive a goal at every moment of the game and they have to keep their sheet clean until the last whistle otherwise Al-Hilal players will find a way to score. It is impressive to see them scoring especially Mitrovic who is 2 goals behind Cristiano Ronaldo in top list of scorers in Saudi Pro League.

The coach was changed and Benzema scored a hattrick participating in the nice 4 goals victory of Al-Ittihad even though they were facing Abha which isn't that top. I don't know how much changing the coach participated in that victory which came after many failure rounds..

The match has ended, Al Ittihad won the match, Al Ittihad 4 vs 2 Abha. What makes this match interesting is that Benzema scored 3 goals. He didn't play in a good form after he got injured in the few previous matches. Today, he showed us that he already returned to his best form again. It indicates that Benzema already recovered 100%. Anyway, your prediction is correct that Al Ittihad wins the match with big scores. 

Of course, Al Hilal is a big team, they finished in the 3rd place last season.
This season, they could maintain their good performance. That's why they could stay in the top of SPL until now. If they can keep their consistency, no doubt they will be the champion of SPL this season.

I watched the Al-Hilal vs Al-Taawoun match and it must be admitted that Al-Taawoun has several talented players they frustrated the Al-Hilal players for at least 80 minutes but yeah the al-Hilal players did not give up they continued to attack until they scored the first goal in the 81st minute and continued with the 2nd goal in the 99th minute. At first I thought this match would be drawn because for 80 minutes without a goal but this is the difference, the Al-Hilal player has a good mentality and never stops making pressure.

In another match Ittihad also won the match finally they ended a bad record in the last 5 matches looks like they began to find the rhythm of the game although the defense is not optimal because conceded 2 goals, no problem at least they have returned to the track and Karim Benzema as one of the mainstay players has scored even 3 goals today. If they continue to play like this and can increase the defense then I am sure in the near future Al-Ittihad will rise to top 3-4  now only 2 points adrift of al-Ahli or 4 points from al-Nassr.

Benzema is a big name in the Saudi League and his imapct haven’t been felt in the league.Upon his arrival to the club, he had issues with Head Coach who has just been sacked so we expect to see the Al Ittihad side get back on form to come amd challenge for top place on the table, but it would be tough cause Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal are in a very good form currently and the competition for the trophy this season is very fierce.

 Al Ittihad side, the defending champions made some nice recruitments from Europe like Kante and Benzema and  that could be good boost for the team’s perforance, however they need to do better and stop giving out points easily Let’s see how things go out in the coming week, cause Al Ittihad need to start doing better if they want to defend their title this season.

This is interesting, you say that there are two bosses fighting against each other for success. But I think that this is well coordinated and that the Saudi Professional League isn't interested in seeing one team dominate all the others. Is it a coincidence that so many different teams bought different superstars? I believe that there is more to that than we would think of in the first moment!

The Saudi Pro League crown have been handed over to be a competitive fight between Al Nassr boss, Luis Manuel Ribeiro de Castro vs Al Hilal manager, Jorge Fernando Pinheiro de Jesus. Who's taking home the SPL crown? Checking the similarities, both teams have the best quality squad necessarily available to upgrade their perspective performance, looking at both team's top goal scorers, for Al Hilal, we have Mitrovic and Salem Al Dawsari while for Al Nassr, we have Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané who happens to be my favorite duo for SPL games.

Al Hilal, is one of the top teams that has always dominated the league trophy in the last decade. Last season, with a very busy schedule, even in one week there were 3 matches close together, in the end they had difficulty maintaining consistency and it was natural because the energy and fitness of the players would be very depleted.

Now, they also welcome arrivals from some of Europe's top players. even though the star, Neymar, had to be absent due to injury. However, this team was already very ideal before Neymar was brought in from PSG.
Talking about the Al Hilal vs Al Taawoun match, this match was actually very tough. Even though Al Hilal dominated the game, ball possession, tactics and technique, the fact is that Taawoun was difficult to break down. Only in the 81st minute, Malcom's free kick was met by Mitrovic's header which gave them the lead. and in the minute of extra time, Mohamed Kanno fired a cool free shot which shot straight into Al Taawoun's goal. As a result, this match ended with a score of 2-0. and as you said, Mitrovic has now scored 10 goals, 2 goals different from Ronaldo. Thus, the competition to become the top scorer is open for Mitrovic. and I am happy, with Al Hilal's victory.

Al Hilal success provides many messages, I think one of them is that they can achieve victory even without Neymar, who is currently injured. Although on the other hand, if Neymar could play maybe the score could be bigger, but no one can predict when an injury will strike. Furthermore, Al Hilal emphasized that they were very ready to replace Al Ittihad as defending champions, but I also do not underestimate Al Nassr here. Whenever they are careless, Ronaldo and his colleagues will always be ready to replace them at the top of the standings. Al Taawon is in poor form, they have found it difficult to win in their last four matches. However, they are still in the top four of the current standings.

The last 10 minutes added with minutes of extra time were put to good use by Al Hilal. Indeed, the opening goal in the 81st minute by Mitrovic was the goal that made Al Taawoun resigned to their defeat because Al Hilal did not reduce the tempo of the game in chasing the score.
After finishing the match, Al Hilal leads the standings by 7 points with Al Nassr who will play tomorrow's match.

Al Taawoun is not like Al Hilal in terms of spending on players, but this season Al Taawoun has become a team that makes things difficult for opponents. Al Hilal will lose if it doesn't perform well with the amount of money spent on buying players.

Al Ittihad played against Abha after Nuno's dismissal. How is the result?

Honestly, the top two are ahead even while missing games, because of game results like this. Al Ahli ended up getting a draw, and that should show you how everything is looking, and could be the most important thing. I understand that it may not be all that crazy to handle, but that is definitely not the way to go, not in the slighest. We should be considering the situation a little bit more important to handle, and that means we are going to end up with something that could be a little bit different and difficult.

Hopefully, people could end up realizing soon enough that we are talking about just two teams here, rest of the league is there for these teams to play against nothing more. I understand that teams like Ittihad also had some good transfers, but we are seeing their results, even fired the manager too if I am not wrong, but still they are not going to be good. Al-Nassr may still end up losing too, they are just a little bit behind, but if they lose one more, it will be big enough difference to not cover.
