For me personally, although Al Nassr has Ronaldo in the squad but yes, for me it still cannot be a guarantee for Al Nassr to be easy to get the trophy. Also, when I get the results about Al Hilal who managed to be unbeaten so far this season in the Saudi Pro League, then I think these results are a guarantee that Al Hilal has a very good chance of getting the Saudi Pro League trophy this season. What's more, Al Hilal managed to beat Al Nassr with a score of 3-0 and yes, that result makes me even more confident about Al Hilal in this season to get the trophy and they deserve it.

There is other parameters to take on consideration like the total time played by each player, whether he just finish an attempt or create it and score it, whether his team score a lot of goals and whether his goals ratio compared to his team goals is high or not.
I will give an example, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 15 goals from 39 total goals scored by Al-Nassr including him. That's mean he scored 38.5% of Al-Nassr goals. Mitrovic scored 13 goals from Al-Hilal 46 goals, so he was responsible for 28.2% of goals but he is in competition with Malcolm who scored 9 goals (19.5%) while Talisca with 8 goals was responsable for 20.5% of goals although he had less playing time than Malcolm, which means he isn't competing Cristiano Ronaldo as much as Malcolm competing Mitrovic. In the playing time and goals scored by minutes played, they are close from each other. Sadio Mane and Milinkovic-Savic effects aren't that important comparing to the others.
To summarise, Cristiano Ronaldo is slightly better than Mitrovic for the moment but Mitrovic is advancing faster and could flip easily Cristiano Ronaldo advantage.

Man, the only hope Al Nasrr can have to reach Al Hilal is Al Hilal fall by his own, because there is not another possibilitie, the other teams in the league are very weak to cut points, so only 4 teams can steal some points from them.

of course Cristiano Ronaldo still has the opportunity and hope to become top scorer this season, and actually I want to see him win top scorer this season, Cristiano Ronaldo is a very cool star player and his performance is always good, in every match and I saw it in yesterday's match when against al hilal his performance was very good and scored a goal but it was considered offside by the referee, and against al Okhdood he also scored 2 goals in that match. So Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was very good and in my opinion, in the match against Al Hilal a few days ago, Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score many goals because there was no balance between Al Nassr's midfield and back line so Cristiano Ronaldo didn't .Give best performance.

Mitrovic and Cristiano Ronaldo certainly have a lot of experience in the world of football, but if you look at it in terms of fame, of course Cristiano Ronaldo is more famous, but Mitrovic is also a star player who has extraordinary strength, and has always been a hero for Al Hilal. Cristiano Ronaldo is a tough opponent for Mitrovic and Mitrovic is also a tough opponent for Cristiano Ronaldo. The arrival of Mitrovic and Cristiano Ronaldo in the Arab League has had a positive impact and of course makes us always want to watch the matches.

Mitrovic is younger than Ronaldo and he is playing in a strong team too. They are racing with each other for the league title and best scorer award. Mitrovic is leading in a league title race with Al Hilal but Cristiano Ronaldo is leading in a best scorer award race. At his 38 years old, Cristiano is still able to make record in Saudi Professional League.

I really believe that Ronaldo will be the best scorer in Saudi Professional League if he won't get injuries and miss most of rest months in this season. Mitrovic is a good striker and goal productive but he is not competitive enough to win against Ronaldo in this individual race.

CR7 and Mitrovic are recruits who just came in to Saudi league from Europe and they’re making this league one that interests the viewers. They are hitting and banging the goals for their various teams; Cristiano is topping this race with a difference of two goals and he could end up as the league’s highest goal scorer but I think his team falling over to Al Hilal over the weekend wasn’t what was best especially in their league chase.

 but they’ve got quite a time to fix up and Ronaldo keeps scoring he could bag the highest goal scorer award of the League. Mitrovic could also give Ronaldo a tough battle but he’s not proper quality like Ronaldo and he could falter, anyways I wish him goodluck in trying to pass Ronaldo's goal tally.he's a good finisher so it's not going to be very difficult.

Aleksandar Mitrovic always performs well with Al Hilal, and currently he still can't beat the goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo, and only has a difference of 2 goals, but I think there is great potential for Aleksandar Mitrovic to win top scorer this season, and get the golden boot . and if you look at Al Hilal's next opponents, such as Al Taee Al Wahda and Abha, I think there is great potential to win the match because looking at Al Hilal's history, up to now no one has been able to beat him, so it is very likely that Aleksandar Mitrovic will have great potential to win the top scorer this season.

But Cristiano Ronaldo's hope is also strong enough to win top scorer this season because the opponents Al Nassr will face are Al Riyadh Al Ettifaq, of course Al Nassr has the potential to win, so Cristiano Ronaldo also has the potential to win the title of top scorer this season.

Al Nassr is a strong team, as is Al Hilal, who are currently the champions of the standings and we'll see the results at the end of the season.

Indeed, Al-Hilal has a fairly perfect record compared to Al-Nassr and that is why they have quite a distance from Al-Nassr. It is not surprising that Al-Hilal's chances of becoming Saudi League champions this season are also getting bigger and for Al-Nassr this will be their second failure if they are not able to catch these points after last season they were shackled until they were left behind by Al-Ittihad.

It will certainly be very difficult for Ronaldo and his colleagues to be able to compete with Al-Hilal and they can only hope that Al-Hilal loses in a match if Al-Nassr wants to occupy the top position. The defeat at the start of the season also caused Al-Nassr to lag quite far behind Al-Hilal and it looks like we will still see competition between these two teams in the remaining half of the season next year.

At the moment, after the big defeat, Al Nassr have to think about themselves and forget about Al Hilal. They will have to try to play best and get as many wins as possible and wait for chances to reduce the 7-point gap with Al Hilal. When the gap becomes smaller, they can think about Al Hilal again and they will still have one more direct match with Al Hilal. If they can play well from now till that direct match, they can take a second chance to equalize the gap or even take over the first position from Al Hilal.

At the moment, it is too early to think about Al Hilal with this big point difference.

They shown their strength and won the match, increased the gap but I believe Al Nassr with Cristiano Ronaldo, Mane, Brozovic will not give up too early. They will continue to repeat what they did before the defeat against Al Hilal. 7 points in difference is big but Al Hilal will have to play carefully next months because if they carelessly lose points, it's very likely Al Nassr will be able to take advantage of it to reduce the gap between two clubs.

Al Nassr should not think too much about Al Hilal, I mean they just need to focus on continuing to win 3 points in the matches they play, while waiting for Al Hilal to slip and be defeated by any club. Al Hilal are very strong, but that doesn't mean they can't be beaten, be it by clubs of similar strength, or by those weak clubs who won by luck. The competition is still very long, although their points gap is indeed wide but with the remaining matches it is not impossible that Al Hilal can be caught up.

The battle for who wins the Saudi Pro League golden boot for the top score of the season I think is gonna go down the wire between Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Hilal's Aleksander Mitrovic. Cristiano Ronaldo is currently leading the Saudi league's highest goalscorers chart with fifteen goals while Aleksander Mitrovic currently has thirteen goals after scoring two goals against Ronaldo's Al Nassr in their game over the weekend. The two players who had played most parts of their football career in Europe has been the two most prolific strikers in the Saudi Pro League since the start of the season and I have no doubt that one of them is surely gonna end the season as the the league's top scorer.

Al Hilal convincingly defeated Al Nassr in their league game over the weekend and now leads the league table with seven points making it a very difficult task for Al Nassr to catch up with them but I think the second placed team can still fight for the league title till when it's mathematically impossible to catch up with the league leaders.

I share your opinion and I think that Al-Hilal's attack plays more aggressively towards the goal. Yes Al-Nassr has Ronaldo of course and Mane's start in the Saudi Professional League was quite ok, but Mane is not as good as many people thought and said he is. I haven't checked it, but sometimes when I watch him play it looks so slow when he is running or doing anything with the ball. Al-Hilal's attacking line is always awake and hyper aggressive. Mitrovic doesn't give up on a single ball the whole game. I think they are the more complete team and Al-Nassr has Ronaldo, but then for a long time there is a quality gap between him and the other players.

Ronaldo's position is not yet safe as a top scorer. Mitrovic is also consistently scoring in any match. He can be a threat for ronaldo's position as a top scorer this season. Mitrovic is more than ronaldo and talisca in the last match. He was able outperforming the defensive line of al nassr. Al nassr needs to strengthen its defensive line. It's caused by al hilal seems to have the greatest duo in the saudi pro league right now. Al nassr may not able to compete with al hilal if mitrovic's club keep consistent in getting the three points.
The chance owned by al hilal will be pretty small caused by that. Im not trying to talk bulshit but al hilal's performance made me feel so confidence with it. It's why i said that al hilal is going to win the game soon.

Last season, Al Hilal experienced a decline in performance and at the same time had a very busy schedule. this season, Al Hilal has again shown its strength as one of the top clubs and is perched at the top of the standings with a difference of seven points from the teams below it. tis team looks even more solid after the joining of Alesandar Mitrovic, who is now a pure sticker in their squad. Al Hilal is not only the only unbeaten team, but also the one who conceded the fewest goals and scored the most goals so far. Even though it is actually still temporary, it seems like the wind is on Al Hilal's side.

Referring to the match against Al Nassr, as I have previously reviewed, although in reality this is just my personal speculation and assumption. scenario, Jorge Jesus is very aware that his opposing team is the most competitive opponent than other teams, if we refer to the team's depth. in the end, he used tactics to give Al Nassr a little more freedom in controlling ball possession. however, it is clear that in terms of opportunities, Al Hilal has far more. I think this battle is not just a matter of star players, but the coach's strategy also plays an important role. and IMO, Al Nassr is carried away by the strategy of coach Al Hilal. In the end, the home team won the match. Furthermore, in the next few weeks Al Hilal should have no problems when playing their matches until the meeting between Al Ettifaq and Al Ittihad. at the very least, these two teams have the resources to provide resistance. Well, let's just follow this competition, there are still a lot of matches left.

In fact, it's not just this week that Al Hilal appeared impressive because from the start of the season they performed quite well and were undefeated. Al Hilal has good players on the front line who are able to give them victory. Mitrovic has so far been a big hero for Al Hilal progress because he has contributed 13 goals in 13 matches which makes him a quite productive striker in breaking into the opponent's goal. Al Nassr victory is one of the factors that makes them quite strong this season.

Mitrovic and Ronaldo have both performed well for their teams this season and these two players are currently the top scorers in the SPL. I think these two players have big ambitions in bringing their team to become champions and so far Al Hilal is at the forefront of winning the title because they are able to maintain a winning trend in every match. A 7 point lead over Al Nassr certainly makes Al Hilal quite comfortable at the top of the standing.

The Saudi Professional league is already halfway through the season. and only Al Hilal is undefeated. It is clearly difficult to catch up with the difference in points for Al Nassr. all they can do is not make mistakes and continue to collect all the points in the remaining matches. to be consistent may be difficult for Al Nassr. but at least they secured a match that should have been 3 points for them. Al Hilal will certainly suffer defeat this season, and of course there will be a decline in performance. and that is what Al Nassr must take advantage of. I don't know what Al Nassr's chances of catching points are. because Al Hilal is so good this season.

Passing week 15, there is actually no change in position, it's just that now the point gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr is widening after Al Nassr lost a big match against Al Hilal. After previously their point gap was 5 points, now, their point gap is 7 points. Of course, it's a long distance, especially when Al Hilal has a very impressive performance. It will be very difficult for Al Nassr to catch up with the 7-point gap, because they expect Al Hilal to have a negative result. But the problem is that now Al Hilal is very difficult to beat. of the 15 matches they played, they only won 2 draws and the rest they won the match without tasting defeat.

It must be recognized that Al Hilal is the best team in SPL at least until this week, they are the only unbeaten team.

When I saw the first half, I initially thought the game might end in a draw, as Al Nassr had a few chances in attack. But entering the second half, Al Hilal could be more effective in attacking and instead Al Nassr seemed to lose concentration, especially in the final minutes, because in just 3 minutes they conceded 2 goals. Al Nassr must evaluate their weaknesses, if they want to continue to compete and overtake Al Hilal in the table.

Al Nassr does not have any problems in the offensive zone anyway. There may be defenders whose contracts will expire at the end of the year, but they need quality players during the interim transfer period, so they should make transfers during the interim transfer period. If they do not do this, the transfer at the end of the year will only affect the next year. By the way, I would love for Saudi Arabian teams to play against European teams. With a slight format change in the UCL, a joint tournament could be held with the winners of the ACL teams.

yeah I agree. Maybe in the next transfer window there will be no purchases of players with higher transfer prices than in the summer transfer market. But well, at least Al-Nassr should think about bringing in back line players just like Al-Hilal has done.

And Coach Al-Nassr has apparently moved quickly on this matter. Because based on the news at the beginning of last October. I came across the news that Al-nassr has made a move to approach the Atletico Madrid defender whose contract expires in the summer. But what is very unfortunate is that Al-Nassr will not bring him in January now. But he will wait until the player's contract at Atletico Madrid expires, namely at the end of this season. ¹
