Al-Duhail looks like they will really have difficulty in the match against Al-Nassr. Because Al-Nassr is the only club that has never lost in Group E. Meanwhile, Al-Duhail has never won at all in the AFC Champions League in the preliminary round of Group E.

Cristiano Ronaldo will definitely add to his goal collection again in today's match. Al-Duhail will definitely use a defensive strategy in this match. Because they must be aware that there is a difference in strength between their team and Al-Nassr. But at the previous meeting Al-Duhail used almost the same strategy as Al-Nassr. And they played quite well at that time too. But still Al-Nassr was able to win the previous meeting with a score of 4-3.

But if it turns out that Al-Duhail returns to using the same strategy as in the previous meeting, then I think there will be lots of goals again in that match. And maybe Al-Nassr will score more goals this time.

I keep saying it, but Al Nassr getting Cristiano Ronaldo is the best decision they've made in recent years. They're not only signed him, but he's extremely engaged and has accomplished incredible things for the Knights of Najd, in addition he's also paved up the pathway for other European players to move to the Saudi Pro League. Because of Ronaldo, they have won major trophies and are currently competing for the SPL title with Al Hilal this season. Cristiano Ronaldo is a different breed and from another planet, as seen by his string of hattricks and adventures.

The names Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr are always a hot topic of conversation because Cristiano Ronaldo's performance, even though he is 38 years old, can still play well and always produces beautiful goals, as he did when facing Al Khaleej with a score of 2-0 and Cristiano Ronaldo performance is always the good.

I can't wait to see the match and results of Alnassr's next match, namely against Al Duhail and Al Duhail Of course, in the previous match they managed to beat Al Rayyan with a score of 3-2. I think this will be an interesting match. My prediction is that Al Nassr will be superior, but of course we don't know what will happen next because Al Duhail will also show their best performance. What is your prediction regarding Alnassr's next match against Al Duhail. You can also read the link that I displayed to make our discussion even more exciting.

However, in the match that has passed, the difference between Al Nassr and Al Duhail is certainly not that far, namely 4-3 in October.

Al-ittihad seems unable to maintain their superiority last season. Benzema's arrival to this team doesn't seem to have shown enough positive results. In the Saudi Pro League it might be more difficult. Because currently Al-hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli, even Al-taawoun still look much more consistent than Al-ittihad.

But in the Saudi Pro League there is still a long way to go. There are still many matches left so the opportunity is still there as long as Al-ittihad can continue to win from now on. But seeing Al-ittihad lose to Al-Quwa, I have a little doubt about Al-ittihad this season. But I hope Al-ittihad can win in the Saudi Pro League match next week. Because Abha, who will be the opponent next week, should be at a lower level in terms of playing performance on the field when compared to Al-ittihad.

After all the incidents in the Premier League, I thought Ronaldo would not be good in the Saudi Pro League. Last season was not bad, but this season started off legendary. He helped the team a lot in this match with one goal and one assist. It is great that he is so dynamic at the age of 38. If he wasn't so ambitious, maybe he wouldn't be able to stay at this level.

Many players can't be this disciplined at this age because they want different innovations in their lives. Al-Nassr is four points behind in the fixture as they are close to the championship this year, and they are in a solid leadership race with Al-Hilal.

Even though Al Ittihad lost to Al-Jawiya, they still finished first with 9 points. while Al-Jawiya is in second place with 7 points. Al Ittihad still has a big chance of qualifying for the next round of the AFC Champions League. In this match, we don't have much information regarding the team that is Al Ittihad's opponent. but actually Al-Jawiya was also defeated by Al Ittihad in the first leg meeting.

Speaking of Al Ittihad, I'm not too sure what is causing their problems. but it seems like the coach doesn't have a pattern that is their standard. Just look at this team's statistics, it's not uncommon for Nuno Santo to use a pattern that I think is a little strange, a team as big as Al Ittihad often uses a 4-4-2 pattern.
Come on, let's just refer to the 3 matches they played with a loss and a draw. matches against Al-Ahli, Al Taawoun, Al Shabab. Al ittihad, did not get full points. I think one of the factors is, the coach uses a 4-4-2 pattern. even though, they have former top European players. It seems like there is a lack of confidence on the part of the coach to use an offensive system.
So for me this is not just a Benzema problem, but the system implemented by the Al Ittihad coach. Let's see how Nuno Santos fixes the problem.  for the King's Cup, however, Al Ittihad has a chance to advance further. maybe, they will enter the final match. However, as I said, we'll see how the Al Ittihad coach brings his team.

It's not that Karim has lost his thirst for winning, he just realises that his time has come and it's better to leave for this league and still get good money. Moreover, I don't agree that Saudi Arabia is not developing their league properly. Some young stars have already moved there and more will be coming, so I think they are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly

Don't look at it that way, but I know that a lot of people go to the Arab League for the money but at least the desire to win with their team is still there, it's just that now Benzema is suffering from an injury that hasn't fully recovered or perhaps hasn't fully adapted.

I may differ with you that the Arab League is likely to grow for longer than you think, now that Saudi Arabia is set to host the World Cup in 2034, it will certainly be more attractive to other players. About the academy they are developing it is certain that they have done it just that we do not know the full extent of this news.

Ronaldo's son has also entered the Arab club academy.

Don't expect so much from players like Kareem Benzema players like this has lost the hunger to win that's why they have chosen money over passion at this late stage of their footballing career, I actually love to see an unknown league grow but the way Saudi Arabia league is going about it they aren't looking at the long run, they need to work also on their academy to see that they don't have an improved league for few seasons but for a longer time.

Al Hilal is surely very strong this season, they are unbeatable so far. They have a good squad, their attackers played very well. However, it doesn't mean Al Hilal has no chance to be defeated. In the upcoming match, they will play against Al Taawoun, it is one of the strong teams in SPL this season. Al Taawoun only got 1 lose so far, so it won't be easy to steal points from them. If Al Taawoun can play with their best, I think the match is possible to end up wit a draw result.

Al Hilal already dominated the SPL this season. But it can't guarantee that they will win the trophy in the end of the season. The season is still far from the end, it is too early to say Al Hilal to win every match and win the SPL competition.

I guess there is not really a threat to their qualification, but still expectations were higher than that. They also have problems in the Saudi Pro League, so this might be more than just a temporary issue. 11 points behind Al-Hilal and not having won a game for so long in the league is a big contrast to what we have seen from them last season. It's crazy because they have several superstars on the pitch and yet they are not able to play successfully. I think they made a mistake to sign Benzema as you can't compare him to Ronaldo. Ronaldo will support the team with his performances for several years whereas Benzema had this one last peak in his career and now it is over.

Things look bad for Al Ittihad because they have issues with both best strikers they have, Benzema and Hamdallah. Benzema has issues with injuries, he got injuries more often and can not play too many matches for the club. Hamdallah has worse performances than the past season when he won the league scorer award.

It is different compares to Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo is playing well but their main striker in previous season, Talisca is still playing well too and he can help Al Nassr win when Cristiano Ronaldo can not.

The season is long and Al Ittihad still has many matches to reduce gaps to Al Hilal and Al Nassr but they no longer have too many points to waste if don't want to lose the crown in this season. Benzema and Hamdallah must return to their best forms as soon as possible to help their club.

However, even though Al Ittihad lost in the AFC Champions League match against Al Quwa Al Jawiya, but in reality that Al Ittihad is still in first place in group C. So yes ofcourse, Al Ittihad still has a chance to qualify for the next phase in the AFCChampions League . But indeed, regarding the performance of Benzama or perhaps Al Ittihad as a whole, of course it is clear that Al Ittihad is experiencing a decline in performance at the moment. Therefore, it seems that Al Ittihad will also find it difficult to compete consistently in the title race this season.

With increasingly competitive competition and a large point difference, it is quite difficult for Al Ittihad to defend the SPL trophy this season. If we look at the points table, Al Ittihad has been knocked out of the top four of the standings, I don't understand what is actually happening at this club, which is causing their performance to decline slowly. On the other hand Benzema adaptation process is going smoothly, so far he has scored 6 goals and 3 assists in all competitions for his club, but the former Madrid striker cannot do much to ensure Al Ittihad consistency.

Most recently they suffered a defeat against Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya in the Asian Champions League, but this defeat did not shift their position at the top of Group C, although unfortunately they should have been able to secure full points and record a perfect victory in the group phase. I didn't watch the match, but if we look at the statistics, Al Ittihad lacked in building attacks and lacked creativity, so they only created 1 shot on target.

The league season in the Saudi Pro League hasn't gone half but anyone who's been closely following proceedings from the league can attest to the fact that Al Hilal and Al Nassr have been the two most outstanding clubs in the league and there's no doubt that either of them is gonna win the league title at the end of the season.
They're currently seperated by four as Al Hilal are topping the table while Al Nassr are second but considering the latter's current form and performances, I think the battle for who will win the league title between the two clubs is likely to be taken down to the wires.

I think the final battle is actually going to end up being between Al Hilal and Al Nassr.  Right now both of them are at the top of the table. And these are the two teams that are really consistent in this season.  And I think I can expect a little better performance from the team of Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr. Because Cristiano Ronaldo is performing really well and giving more than his 100%, to be honest even at this age. Sometimes it definitely feels like he is being let down by his teammates.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Because so far many coaches who have had conflicts with Cristiano Ronaldo have ended up being fired. Maybe only Ten Heg didn't end up getting fired there. But while at Real Madrid everything is under control. Well, there are positive and negative sides to Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo sometimes has strong ambitions. And sometimes he has a different understanding from the coach. For example, Rudi Garcia also left Al-Nassr after there was tension in the dressing room with all the Al-Nassr players and including Cristiano Ronaldo who was also there. What I understand from most of the characteristics of coaches who end up being fired when they have a relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo is that they are coaches who have slightly harsh characteristics. Or a coach who has the principle of controlling players according to his coaching style. Well, things like that are actually quite normal for a coach, but it seems like Cristiano Ronaldo always doesn't want to be controlled. Yes, this sometimes makes a coach's position difficult. But the current Al-Nassr coach seems to know how to deal with Cristiano Ronaldo.

I don't know how is this possible but regarding Rolando is Saudi Arabia I think people were expecting to see him having a bad performance when he started playing in the Saudi League. I think Ronaldo's performance after the age of 30 was even better than his performance when he was a young player and playing on the European teams.

Al-Ittihad faced their first loss of the season in the AFC Champions League vs Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya. Karim Benzema hasn't won any of his last 5 games with Al-Ittihad. He's having a tough time in Saudi Arabia, and as a result, his club is also struggling.
Looks like their only chance now is the Saudi Cup, where they've reached the quarter-finals. Otherwise, they might end up without any silverware this season. It appears that winning the Saudi Pro League is becoming increasingly difficult for them.

It's true, Al Taawon's performance in the last few weeks has been a little less than good. I don't know what factors caused Al Taawon's performance to drop like that. However, what is clear is that if Al Taawon does not immediately improve its performance it will definitely have a very bad impact on Al Taawon's ranking in the standings. Because now there is Al Ahli who is ready to shift Al Taawon from 3rd position. The reason is that in the next match Al Ahli will face Damac FC and there is a big possibility that Al Ahli can win the match. So, if for example Al Ahli can win the match against Damac FC, then Al Taawon must be prepared to face the worst possibility, namely that Al Taawon's ranking will be shifted again.

In my personal opinion, when the Saudi Arabian League season started, it could be said that the Al Nasr players still didn't have good enough chemistry. Because as we know, Al Nasr had many new players at that time. Therefore, at the start of the season the Al Nasr players still needed adjustments between the players and also needed to adapt to the overall football atmosphere in Saudi Arabia. So I think that's why at the start of the season Al Nasr suffered 2 defeats.

Meanwhile, now Al Nasr's new players have been able to adapt well to the football atmosphere in Saudi Arabia and the chemistry between the players has also developed very well. Therefore, Al Nasr's current performance continues to improve very well, because it has been proven that Al Nasr always wins in almost every match. And currently Al Nasr has succeeded in occupying second place in the standings and is certainly ready to continue to reach the top position currently occupied by Al Hilal.

Al Taawon will definitely have big difficulties when they face Al Hilal in the upcoming match. The reason is, if you look at the last meeting between the two teams, Al Taawon lost 4-0 to Al Hilal. Therefore, if Al Taawon only gets a draw, I think that will be enough. Because in my opinion it will definitely be difficult to win.
