Ittihad has been out of form since start of season and that’s quite worrisome especially as they’re the league’s defending champions. Now they play Khaleej and Benzema is back on pitch of play and the comtroversial coach is out, I think Ittihad will bounce back after they got winning ways with this match to kick start their winning streak.

 Khaleej are not pretty good and that’s going to be a win in the bag for Ittihad and I think after winning this match, they’ll take some cues from this match and apply in subsequent matches so as to get  the team back in the mouth of the fans, they played very impressively to get a very good scoreline and that's going to help boost their confidence level, thank goodness Benzema who's not really in a good form managed to score a penalty goal in that match, it would help build his confidence as well.

The only thing I regret about this competition is that we had difficulty finding the latest information regarding the two teams. as for information or reporting on this League, it is presented in local languages. and that, will make us difficult. there is no choice, but we measure it from the available odds plus the team's performance. or, when this match starts to be held. thus, we have a clearer picture. It's just that, sometimes the odds change quickly.

But okay, let's discuss the battle between these two teams. In fact, I have reviewed both teams, whether Al Hilal or Al Nassr.
For the current position, Al Hilal is at an advantage with their advantage based on points. thus, technically, Al Nassr will be more insistent on reducing the point difference. which means, Ronaldo and his colleagues will go all out to achieve victory.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal, apart from being the home team, can play more casually to lure the Al Nassr players out. after getting an opening, they will counterattack quickly and deadly. but this is only part of my scenario, although there are many other scenarios. but what is certain is that we will find out before this fight takes place.
If we refer to the H2H meeting between these two teams, Al Hilal slightly dominated the victory. but now, Al Nassr is filled with competitive players. Likewise with Al Hilal, although not as famous as Ronaldo. Straight away, my estimate is that this match will be won by the home team. Even though the match is going, it looks like it will be quite tough.

Cristiano Ronaldo has made a great impact in the League because when he move to Al Nassr, many people tends to start given the league attention, and as a result of that, the league became popular and many players from Europe top teams joined some of the teams  and as a result of that, the league become popular and it is consider as a top league in the world right now.

Saudi Pro League is competitive and we have strong hopes that these SPL clubs will start playing against European clubs in less than no time. After all they have gain the necessary popularity in the world of football and its now time to grow the league to become one of the stable and most viewed league. Cristiano Ronaldo was and will be the greatest player in the history of football. He's enchanced with incredible qualities and he's worth every hype he's currently getting from football. Saudi Arabia provided a path for the undisputed GOAT to come over and he accepted after crashing out with Manchester United headcoach, Erik Ten Hag.

Well, this is the match we are looking forward to and finally, 2 top Saudi Pro League clubs will fight each other and prove who is the strongest. To be honest, I don't expect both teams play draw I want to see one of them winning, especially Al-Nassr so that the competition is more fierce with only one point adrift. If we check based on the gambling market Al-Hilal is more favored yeah it's normal because they play at home and at the top of the standings but Ronaldo and his team will not let it be easy and they have the ability to do it. Who do you think will win, or do you agree with what the bookies offer? the following is a screenshot to place a bet.



Or if you doubt it to bet on the market 1x2 then there are still other options such as both teams YES but the odds are lower because the chances of winning are higher the odds are only 1.43 not bad, I will go with this bet. By the way, Al-Ahli won today by scoring 6 goals and Al-Ittihad also played today they scored first in the first half but still 1 goal is not safe because I saw Al-Khaleej also playing aggressive, let's look forward to how this battle ends.

Sometimes, it is good to move on when you are not needed. Ten Hag was clearly against him and that is why he decided to leave, and his intention to go to Saudi Pro League is a good move because he have another dimension of football apart from all the time he spent in Europe.
His move to Saudi Pro league has improved the League audience and fans and also give other players confidence to move to the League without any tension.

Have many bad issues with Lionel Messi achievement trophies from winning World Cup 2022 until last individual trophy after becoming the winner of Ballon D'Or 2023. I think never have end words when debating about which one the best between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, both of them are the best players in the world and keep dominance until their age have been over exactly with Cristiano Ronaldo have been 38 years old but still consistent score many goals on every match.

Both of them Ronaldo and Messi keep hard work although they are not with top european teams but still have magic when both of them playing for their club, I am little agree with Lionel Messi move to MLS League are not compete than Saudi Pro League exactly with Lionel Messi failure make his team qualify to playoff round and make him absent for longer time until new season begin on February next year.

Benzema has always been an amazing "finisher" but for him to finish you need to bring the ball to him at that position, don't get me wrong he is amazing and probably one of the best at what he does, dude won ballon or by doing it, and that's an important situation, however that doesn't mean that we are talking about someone who can get the ball, dribble to the post and score, that's not what he does.

You pass him the ball anywhere around the lines, and he shoots it to score, but if you can't get him the ball then it is not going to end up working for him or you. The team was built with just some fame in mind, not tactics, they could have done better and yet they decided not to, which is an issue and they should be considering the situation a little bit risker at the moment, I think it would make more sense if they could end up with a better result during the winter break, they need to get some players that could make this team a lot better than how it is right now.

I believe, Ronaldo decision to leave Manchester United is the right choice, and I think this is not about how Manchester United perform after Ronaldo departure. Because anyway, even last season Manchester United without Ronaldo but Manchester United managed to finish in the top 4 although indeed, this season Manchester United experienced bad results again but Manchester United bad results this season were not because of the loss of Ronaldo. But ya, at least Ronaldo can still play well at Al Nassr and I think it is also certainly a good result for Ronaldo as well as the Portuguese national team. Therefore, I think at this moment it is no longer appropriate if we still associate Manchester United and Ronaldo, because it has passed.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a living experience that proves that hard work leads to success. He always says that he works hard. Messi is enough to prove to us how talent can be born in the human body. I admire Ronaldo because he has incredible ambition to push himself to this level. If there is anyone to take as an example, I think it should be Ronaldo. Because it is not in our power to be born like Messi.

But the reality is that we are talking about an impressive talent no matter how hard he trained. Because reading some of the posts of how he was not born like Messi and had to work for everything, it implies that everyone working as hard could become like Ronaldo (which I highly doubt) and second of all it also implies that Messi didn't work as hard. But to be honest how do even know how hard Messi worked? He is just not the kind of guy who posts his training routines all over Instagram. I couldn't tell for sure whether Messi worked less hard than Ronaldo. Maybe they worked on different things.

That Ronaldo stands out in the SPL after he played for all those clubs is really no surprise. I doubt that anyone thought the opposite could happen and he would be sitting on the bench because he becomes so bad.

I believe it's the fruit of his hard work that has allowed him to survive until now. I've even read in some news sources that he always spends time training when his teammates have finished or in other words he adds to his own training portion, something we rarely find.
I've even seen on social media, that Ronaldo is a player who was born not because of talent like Messi for example, but he managed to make himself at a very high level as a soccer player.
Indeed, effort does not betray results.

The GOAT was the main reason why people are actively considering SPL as one of good league in asia. European league has been always become the daily consumption by the public. Having unfamiliar league became popular in a short time was also attracting many people to watch it. I was also regularly watching SPL this time caused by it has become even more interesting with so many european star players playing there. I hope that we will able to see more to come soon.

If saudi will able to attract more players that have same capability like the GOAT and im sure SPL will be even more popular. I have heard saudi has planned to recruit as many star players as possible soon.
The competition will be much more interesting to watch. People will be so obvious watching this league as well.

SPL is going to be as big as european league in upcoming years. FOMO is real. SPL will be one of biggest league in asia.

At the age not young anymore, it's natural that in terms of speed, it has decreased, but at his age, he is no longer as young as before he still has good performance and quality that exceeds today's young players for example like ordinary football players but he is still young and he is also always scores great goals and I really like when he dribbles the ball he is always good and when he gives a pass he is always accurate so I wouldn't be surprised if he is currently the top scorer in this Arab league which I remember he has scored 15 goals, in second place is Aleksandar Mitrovic scored 11 goals and third was Malcom who scored 9 goals. and what I like most is that he looks youthful and from his appearance he is very good and of course he is very influential and because he plays in the Saudi Arabian league the name of the Saudi Arabian league has now become famous I think it will be difficult to find a player like him.

The difference in player quality will be clearly visible in this match and Al-Ittihad should secure full points in the home match. They also just won the Asian Champions League competition and that will also increase their confidence. So far Al-Ittihad is still shackled in the Saudi league because from 5 matches they have only been able to get 1 win so they have wasted a lot of points.

Al-Ittihad should have been able to get close to Al-Nassr's points if they succeeded in wiping out the points in the previous few matches, but they failed to do so. Against Al-Khaleej, they have to convince the public that they are still the defending champions of the Saudi league and their job will be more difficult every week because the gap with Al-Taawoun, Al-Fateh and Al-Ettifaq is not too much different.

Age can't be denied to a player, although his goal-scoring ability is still very good, then we can see his decline in other ways, so I agree that in terms of speed he has declined a lot.
It's been over a decade since we've talked about Ronaldo, and we're not just talking about one club. Sporting where he was first discovered, Manchester United, then on to Real Madrid, on to Juventus and then back to the club that made his name, and now he's in the SPL.
It's not easy for a player to stand out at so many clubs and even in so many leagues, but he's made his presence felt.

FYI saudi pro league has been offering decent amounts of money for any players who were interesting to join in the saudi pro league. Ronaldo would not move to the saudi pro league if it was not also become the last choice + big salary.
This is the strategy owned by saudi pro league club to attract european players to join in. We may see some names to come soon. I expect another name like de bruyne and salah may be going to this league as well.
There is no other strategy owned by SPL club. Money is the only main weapon owned by this club.

I have no comment in this match. Ittihad is more than everything compared with khaleej. A guy with a sense will obviously pick al ittihad instead of khaleej. I see no reason for it to pick it.
In fact, al ittihad is having very good result this season compared with khaleej. This pretty much the same like liverpool vs luton/sheffield.

Well, this is the right response and opinion because in reality, the SPL team always makes offers that are beyond the capabilities of European team so that great players who initially made their names and careers in Europe prefer to move to Saudi to be able to earn bigger amounts of money.
So far there have been quite number of players who have moved to Saudi with contracts for several seasons and salary agreements almost double those previously received with European teams.
In the next few seasons, if the SPL team continue to spend large budgets, you can be sure that the SPL will really be filled with lots of star players.

This match is big opportunity for Ittihad FC to catch up on points from Al-Ahli if they manage to win it.
But Ittihad FC has become the favorite and they are estimated to have percentage of almost 80% that they can win easily. In Al Khaleej declining condition, it is certain that they will have difficulty facing Ittihad FC.
Moreover, during these 14 matches Al Khaleej were only able to have 3 win.

Jorge Jesus will definitely use a good strategy to fight Al Nassr. Of course, Jorge Jesus will not underestimate the game of Cristiano Ronaldo and his colleagues, because this match is a prestigious match and is truly a match that is eagerly awaited by football fans and those who support Al Nassr and Al Hilal. of course Luis Castro will also use his strength and technique to fight Al Hilal and I also received news that Ronaldo currently has a neck injury, and I hope that in the next match Cristiano Ronaldo will be healthy because I am looking forward to Cristiano Ronaldo's game because it feels like Al Nassr when he plays Without Cristiano Ronaldo it feels empty, I hope that when they play, both teams will be given health and smoothness and I hope that both teams will give their best performance.
but I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo will recover from his injury because Luis Castro and the medical staff will definitely carry out their duties well.

Yes, that's right and of course currently the Arab League, especially the Saudi Pro League, has become the spotlight for all world football fans. Especially CR7 fans. In fact, based on the news in August this year, I read that there are already around 140 countries broadcasting the SPL league. And this happened due to the increasing number of top European players entering the transfer market yesterday to clubs in the SPL. Last season there were only around 32 countries broadcasting but this season everything is really growing rapidly. So it is not surprising that many say that currently the popularity of the SPL is almost equal to the popularity of the leagues in Europe. Even people in my country who originally didn't talk much about Arab clubs are now starting to talk about them here like they talk about European clubs. So De Gea should be aware of this and in fact he has the potential to become a goalkeeper who will be highly respected in the Arab League. Because all the players from Europe enter the Arab League, we can see that they are highly respected by the players in the Arab clubs themselves. I'm waiting for De Gea's response in the transfer market regarding the news that he was offered by Al-ettifaq.
