I think nobody is even expecting to see any team other than Al Hilal win the Saudi League with the current situation they have and it seems their only competitor for this season is Al Nassr while I was expecting to see other teams like Al Ahli keep racing with Al Hilal but as you just said, the gap between Al Hilal an all other teams is huge and their fans are even waiting to see their team making sure about winning the league even before the season ends.
There's something we call levels in the game of football, elite clubs do know their mates and these mediocre teams are just present for earning lesser points and they will not be in the competitive race title this season. Al Hilal have already set out the levels, they're ontop and currently unbeaten in the Saudi Pro League this season. There's no team that's taking the SPL title home except for Al Hilal this season. For a second, I thought Al Nassr was a threat, but it became crystal clear they're not even a threat for the club sitting first on the table.

Al Hilal is on their good days and they can definitely have a good chance of winning the Saudi League because the only team is Al Nassr while even Al Nassr is not near to taking their place any time soon. There is a seven-point gap between the two teams and surely hoping to see Al Hilal lose all these points is not something easy for Ronaldo and his teammates.
Current standings, Al Hilal have good days after defeating 2nd team position Al Nassr and make 7 points left with current standings awhile until 15 games play. Hoping Al Hilal loss looks difficult with their matches without unbeaten yet and only get 2 draw with winning ration more than 98%, realistic for Al Nassr forget their bad result last match and keep pressure Al Hilal on top standings hope they can loss points on several matches later. Its not over yet for Cristiano Ronaldo want to give Al Nassr domestic league tittle, have 19 matches left and always has chance to make points close depend on how consistency Al Nassr performance and hope have match Al Hilal loss their points. Have loss in two of three matches later will make Al Nassr can pressure Al Hilal on top position.
Ronaldo certainly doesn't want to be disappointed like in his first season with Al-Nassr and will try to present this title to his team before his contract ends and as one of the GOATs there will certainly always be criticism aimed at him if he fails to present this title.

Al-Hilal is now 7 points ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League! Despite all the hype around Al Nassr with Ronaldo, looking at the league table, points, and goal difference, Al Hilal is clearly the better team in the league. Of course, there are still games to play, but Al-Hilal is well-formed and seems unbeatable by any side. Even their main rivals, Al Nassr, have struggled to give competition Al-Hilal, so the equation is clear. I predict that Al Hilal will not only win the title this season but also go on to secure the Treble.
Unbeatable doesn't sound realistic to me as the game against Al-Nassr wasn't going as if Al-Hilal was unbeatable. Al-Nassr had lots of control during the game but couldn't turn their chances into shots on target and goals. But football is based on results and that is what went better that day for Al-Hilal. However, I agree that for the time being it doesn't look as if Al-Hilal will be dropping a lot of points anytime soon and that could become a problem for Al-Nassr as they don't have it in their own hands anymore to decide who is going to win the title. They can only keep going and hope for Al-Hilal to drop some points.
Maybe what our friend @onecall123 meant in his post, was describing the last 15 matches that Al Hilal played without defeat. and of course, being invincible is unrealistic. because, it doesn't describe something real. In fact, there are still at least 19 matches that must be played by all the teams competing in this League.
Well, in football it doesn't mean that the team that has more control over ball possession can be said to perform better. In that match, Al Nassr had no more opportunities than Al Hilal, in fact they had a big chance. Al Hilal with 6 big chances, while Al Nassr only had 1 big chance. Likewise with missed opportunities, Al Hilal far more than Al Nassr.
In this situation, I try to speak neutrally without taking sides with either team. In football, there are patterns, tactics and strategies. Previously, I predicted that Al Nassr would have more control over the match and yeah that proved to be the case. However, there is a scenario that could have been intentional by the Al Hilal coach. It could be, if they let that scenario happen, to look for loopholes in the system implemented by Luis Castro. I can refer as I say based on statistical, although what I say does not confirm anything and is just a personal assumption.
Well, returning to the point I said above, this competition actually still has a lot of matches left. and, there are many possibilities that could happen in the next matches. This does not mean that Al Nassr has lost the opportunity to compete for the league trophy this season.
Al Hilal is on their good days and they can definitely have a good chance of winning the Saudi League because the only team is Al Nassr while even Al Nassr is not near to taking their place any time soon. There is a seven-point gap between the two teams and surely hoping to see Al Hilal lose all these points is not something easy for Ronaldo and his teammates.

Its not over yet for Cristiano Ronaldo want to give Al Nassr domestic league tittle, have 19 matches left and always has chance to make points close depend on how consistency Al Nassr performance and hope have match Al Hilal loss their points. Have loss in two of three matches later will make Al Nassr can pressure Al Hilal on top position.
Ronaldo certainly doesn't want to be disappointed like in his first season with Al-Nassr and will try to present this title to his team before his contract ends and as one of the GOATs there will certainly always be criticism aimed at him if he fails to present this title.
This means that they will need to adjust to the situation a bit differently, and I believe that we are going to need a situation that will be all that much enticing to watch. I think it should be quite important to remember that we need to end up with a simple title win for Al Hilal.
The match is balancing before Al Hilal scoring a first goal and even after that, Al Nassr created opportunities to equalize the match. Later with two goals from Mitrovic, the match becomes a terrible one for Al Nassr but generally they did not play too worse than Al Hilal. It is not an excuse because a defeat is a defeat, it's undeniable and surely affect their chances to win the league trophy.
Right the match was more dominated by Al-Nassr and they know that they have thrown away a big chance to close the gap and make this season in the Saudi Professional League interesting again. But now I think there is some boredom coming up and SPL fans will hope that Al-Hilal gets some issues at some point, except for the Al-Hilal fans of course. I am disappointed that Ronaldo couldn't swing up himself to become the man of the match. No goals for him and 0-3, that's quite a bad day for a former world football player.
Current standings, Al Hilal have good days after defeating 2nd team position Al Nassr and make 7 points left with current standings awhile until 15 games play. Hoping Al Hilal loss looks difficult with their matches without unbeaten yet and only get 2 draw with winning ration more than 98%, realistic for Al Nassr forget their bad result last match and keep pressure Al Hilal on top standings hope they can loss points on several matches later.
Its not over yet for Cristiano Ronaldo want to give Al Nassr domestic league tittle, have 19 matches left and always has chance to make points close depend on how consistency Al Nassr performance and hope have match Al Hilal loss their points. Have loss in two of three matches later will make Al Nassr can pressure Al Hilal on top position.
The win against Al Nassr was a big boost for Al Hilal on the run for their League title. Yes 7 points isn’t much of a gap but with about 15 matches to go, you see that this is a crazy one and it would take lots of consistency to maintain that top spot, Al Hilal looks pretty much a big building lol a team to bring down with their incredible form of just having 2 draws and no loss this season.Its not over yet for Cristiano Ronaldo want to give Al Nassr domestic league tittle, have 19 matches left and always has chance to make points close depend on how consistency Al Nassr performance and hope have match Al Hilal loss their points. Have loss in two of three matches later will make Al Nassr can pressure Al Hilal on top position.
Their force when they attack and thier composure when defending is one no team in the league has been able to have. Ronaldo needs this league trophy as it’ll be him conquering another league entirely and yes, he can only if Al Hilal slip a bit off the league, well he and the entire Al Nassr league shouldn't lose hope yet, cause the league is not yet close to the end so they got lots of time to fight their way to the top.
I think players like Mane and Ronaldo came to the Saudi League and they are all in the one team hoping to see their teams win the Saudi League title and that's the first thing they want to get in this team other than the AFC Champions League. But currently, Al Nassr is far from what they want and they are not close to reaching Al Hila at the first stage of the league which can make some players even leave Al Nassr during the next transfer window.
Of course, all the European players move to SPL because they want to win the SPL title with their teams. Mane and Ronaldo must have the same intention as well, they don't only want to get big salaries but they want to get trophies, too. Al Nassr seems quite difficult to win SPL title this season because Al Hilal is leading with 7 points. But I think there is still a chance because there are many remaining matches. We can't claim Al Nassr is impossible to win the title as long as the season isn't over yet.I don't think Al Nassr star players will leave Al Nassr in the next transfer window. They must stay in Al Nassr to struggle until the end of the season. If they leave, fans will feel very disappointed because they give up. Al Nassr star players are very professional players, I believe Ronaldo or Mane have no intention to leave Al Nassr soon.
But I think, getting the title here in the Saudi Pro League doesn't seem to be their main target because after all, at least the players who end up playing here are because Ronaldo is here in the Saudi Pro League. Because yes, if for example at that time Ronaldo not accepted the offer from Al Nassr then it is very possible that the Saudi Pro League would not have succeeded in bringing in as many top European players as it does now. So yes, with that in mind then I believe getting the title is not their main target, and I think it is more about money and after that, they are ready to compete for the title or trophy here in the Saudi Pro League.
Yes, unfortunately Ronaldo was not played there, even though I think if he was played he would have the potential to win against Al Istiklol at LCA because I saw that Al Nassr players' performance was greatly reduced when Cristiano Ronaldo was not there. and I also saw that there wasn't any sadio Mane but yes it could be that Luis Castro had his own reasons and I don't really know about that either, and Ghareeb became a hero and after Ghareeb scored a goal Al Nassr finally showed his prowess and Al Nassr controlled a lot of the ball but Yes, Al Nassr has to accept this draw with grace, but this is a satisfying result because without Cristiano Ronaldo and Mane there.
Yes, Luis Casto only needs to improve the defense and that is the only way to win the championship this season, even though Al Nassr's rivals are very strong because Al Hilal is very great and has never been defeated. However, Al Nassr definitely hopes that Al Hilal will lose the match against the other team because if they don't lose, it will certainly be difficult for Al Nassr to become champions this season.
I think it is very suitable if Al Nassr recruits reliable defenders so that the defense line becomes strong.
CR7 was not present in the match and Sadio Mane also did not play in the match. In fact, Talisca only played for 16 minutes in the second half of the match. And this happened because Luis Castro played more second-string players in that match. And Al-Nassr is also in a safe position in the AFC Champions League group stage. And if Al-Nassr loses in this match, Al-Nassr will still qualify for the next stage in the AFC Champions League. So we can understand that this match is not at all a priority for Al-Nassr. Luis Castro only gives opportunities to players who are rarely played in the SPL.Yes, Luis Casto only needs to improve the defense and that is the only way to win the championship this season, even though Al Nassr's rivals are very strong because Al Hilal is very great and has never been defeated.

In this match, Al-Nassr still seemed to have weaknesses at the back. But because the opponents they faced were not that strong, everything looked fine. At least the draw is still pretty good. Because Al-Nassr did not play with their maximum strength in that match.
@Blitzboy resting Ronaldo is a proven strategy used even by Zidane and at his age he can’t play in all competitions and that’s something the fans need to understand and respect. Furthermore while they’re a much better side from the time I started watching them but I feel fresh transfers are needed to make them even stronger and thus I’m waiting to see whom they target next.

One of the Cristiano aims for his ""arab spring"" is win the champions of Asia, so he can be called the king of champions in both tournaments, Champions League in europe and in Asia also. But is not a easy tournament, the first step was made, reaching the next stage of the tournament.

Not this season, in most of the season the team Al-Hilal is at its best being on the top position. The presence of popular player have made big expectation on Al-Nassr. The three losses were against Al-Taawoun, Al-Ettifaq, now it is against Al-Hilal and have drawn a match against Abha which is at the 16th position on points table. The season is half the way and in the remaining matches Al-Hilal will be performing better than before. Now the fight will be Al-Nassr to secure its second position on the points table.
Al Hilal in the Saudi pro league like Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, PSG in Ligue 1 also Real Madrid or Barcelona in Laliga can win quite a lot of league titles so they are quite a dominating club in this league so it wouldn't be surprising if they could do well this season, and Al Nassr, who are trying to get the title again, doesn't seem like it will happen this season because Al Hilal is still in very good condition and the last time Al Nassr won was 2018-2019, but it is understandable if they failed because of the competition in the Saudi pro The league has become more fierce since several clubs spent quite a lot of money buying famous players from Europe.Al hilal is obviously the competition right now. Look at how al hilal was very consistent in destroying all of the competitors easily. Al nassr? it ain't a strong opponent for al hilal. In fact, we will able to see how al hilal will be performing even better till the end of season.
People are now only thinking that if the strongest club was ahli or nassr since these clubs have some star players on it while the fact that if they have nothing to prove. Al hilal is still dominating everything no matter what happened with the club.
Al nassr seems have very small chacne to surpass al hilal. Al hilal is reminding me with napoli last season when it was always winning the game till the end of season. Al hilal will able to do that since mitrovic is still on fire right now.
Im feeling so confidence to pick al hilal in any of upcoming matches. Al hilal is dominating everything right now. People can't argue that but i can

7 points look bad for Al Nassr and their mentality will be drag down a little bit after a direct defeat against Al Hilal. They still have chance because the season is long enough but they must fight strongly in coming matches to avoid bad effects from this defeat. If they can repeat their long good streak like before this defeat, they will self-create their chance to catch Al Hilal again.In football, things can change very quickly but Al Nassr must tighten themselves and focus on their performances first because if they have like one or two bad matches, Al Hilal will be able to even expand the 7-point gap to a bigger one.

It is not easy for other clubs to get rid of Al Hilal in first place because all this time Al Hilal has fought hard to maintain its position, Al Nassr, which is a strong rivals in the Saudi Professional League this season, Al Hilal has beaten and Al Hilal has kept quite a distance from Al Nassr. I speculate that Al Hilal will winning the title this season and Al Nassr is probably ranked 2nd below Al Hilal as like of now.
Al-Hilal is now 7 points ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League! Despite all the hype around Al Nassr with Ronaldo, looking at the league table, points, and goal difference, Al Hilal is clearly the better team in the league.

but nevertheless Al Nassr is indeed a strong team and so far Luis Castro and Cristiano Ronaldo have given their best performance and have entertained the audience a lot and I am looking forward to what Al Nassr will do. Hopefully there will be good European defenders to make Al Nassr even better. strong.
Yes, I agree that Al Hilal's points tally proves that Al Hilal is a classy and quality player, so of course Al Nassr is number 2 for now and we'll see how it develops later.

In this match, Al-Nassr still seemed to have weaknesses at the back. But because the opponents they faced were not that strong, everything looked fine. At least the draw is still pretty good. Because Al-Nassr did not play with their maximum strength in that match.
The match didn't go as planned by the viewers, expected to watch a top classic game from the big names who happen to be absent throughout. A 1-1 draw will do the bidding for Al Nassr. They're still leading and hopefully they will feature in the grand finale of ACL this season, that's one of the major titles to lift and they won't hold back other than achieving good results in matches. Luís Manuel Ribeiro de Castro knows what he intend to do for Al Nassr, the reasons he dropped his key players is simply because the match was not important, after all they have qualified for more proficient rounds in ACL. In this match, Al-Nassr still seemed to have weaknesses at the back. But because the opponents they faced were not that strong, everything looked fine. At least the draw is still pretty good. Because Al-Nassr did not play with their maximum strength in that match.
