I think Ronaldo move to move to Al Nassr and leave Man United is very appropriate, if he stays at United it is more likely that Ronaldo will often suffer injuries. Together with Al Nassr Ronaldo is the temporary top scorer with 7 goals, it is true that Ronaldo is not finished yet. The addition of Saido Mane as a suitable tandem for Ronaldo, Al Nassr will compete with other top SPL clubs such as Al Hilal and Al Ittihad.

However, Al Hilal movement so far is more promising, I put them in first place as the favorite club to win at the end of the season. Without Neymar, Al Hilal was able to beat Al Ittihad, especially when Neymar made his debut. This will make AL Hilal very strong.

Al-Nassr where very impressive in their matches against Al-Raed too Manchester United thought Ronaldo is finished player but he's been very impressive since he came the Saudi league and has been a very big part of the  teams success even scored a goal and single handedly let his team to victory, but i think if they want to win the league this season they need to continue winning more games and don't drop any points so as to meet up with Al-Hilal who are currently in 1st position.
 
 Al-Hilal too are impressive this season and i consider them the most likely players to win the team, they've got the strongest team with the best players so far and that's why they've succeeded in toping the league currently their last match was against Al-Riyadh and the really dominated the game with a  6-1 victory at home, i was so happy to see Neymar's performance in the match, that's one player i really love so much and i think his presence at Al-Hilal would make them successful this season and hopefully he'll start their next match instead of coming from the bench.

Neymar had some international matches for Brazil and he had long flights from Middle East to Latin America and back. Al Hilal did right things to keep him on bench and only used him a few minutes but did not let him start the match with their team. With all expensive costs they pay for Neymar, they must have wise strategy to protect the player from injuries and it's what they did in the match.

Neymar had good matches for Brazil then good debut for Al Hilal, he will help them to be stronger in attacking. As a Brazilian player who obsesses with beautiful, sexy football, he will contribute lot of magic moments for Al Hilal and makes Saudi Professional League more exciting.

Al Nassr had bad start in the season but this season is long enough for them to cover those early mistakes. They had great recent matches and if they can maintain this form, they will have chances to improve their rankings as other clubs sooner or later will lose points.

That direct match between two competitors for Saudi Professional League is a big clash for those clubs and for the league too. Al Nassr can take advantage of this clash to beat Al Hilal and improve their position in the league race to its crown.

The revival of the big teams has not been seen at the start of this season so you can see strong competition when the league has been running for 15 matches. I am sure that teams that have top European players will be stronger in the competition for the best places. For al Nassr, they have again reached their best level by recording 4 consecutive wins. Yes, the rise of Al Nassr will make it increasingly difficult for Al Taawon to maintain their performance in the standings because if they experience bad luck then Al Nassr will shift their ranking. I see that only Al Hilal are really focused quite well at the start of this season, their work is extraordinary in this transfer window. Neymar's presence will make them even more favorites to win the title this season.

Someday they could level the standard of EPL, but this isn't very near. Saudi Arabia Pro League is running successfully and the big reason behind is the support from the government. Not many government does it, the country find this as a way to bring people into the country and invest. The league that is traditional and old have been made more popular with the involvement of more number of popular faces. Big money spent on players when the western clubs were struggling financially is perfect execution for success of the league.

It’s obvious that the Saudi league is growing and getting bigger and better. They’ve been doing a whole lot to bring up their league and getting more publicity and attention. They’re likely to create a competitive league in the near future if they keep at getting more players from all over to compete and play in their league.
They’ve gotten new fans now watching them play and the publicity is likely to get even better as they continue to make new and better improvements. It would probably be a long time before  they could equal the EPL but they’ll likely get there some day.

The Saudi Arabia football league is gaining a lot of traction lately,  and this is indeed a new revolution for them and most of the team/clubs are really coming out strong,  with all their recent top players signing and incredible performance very soon Saudi Arabia is going to become the next global football center and a lot of attentions is going to be shifted to them.

Any way many of us have not also chosen a team to support,  although some member may have more interest than us and have gone ahead to make personal analysis and coming up with their preferred club,  but for me, I will still watch most of them from afar for now.

Neymar Jnr has really announced his presence in Saudi Arabian League as one of the best footballer in the world at the moment with his convincing performance in his first game for his new club Al Hilal.
Before Neymar was introduced in the 64th of the game, Al Hilal were just two goals up against Al Riyadh but just after he came in, he created chances that helped his club score four more goals and win the game with a 6:1 final scoreline. With that performance, I think it's very safe to say that the Brazilian is gonna have a good spell with the Saudi club.

Neymar made a good debut, he contributed very well in the match. He made an assist in the match, in minute 83'. But he didn't play as a starter in the match, dude. He played as a substituted player, he replaced Michael in minute 64'. The coach didn't release him in the first half because Neymar just recovered from injured. The coach may minimized the risks for Neymar, he doesn't want Neymar to get injured again.

Well, it was a big winning, 6-1 is clearly nice result. Neymar seems to bring a new motivation for Al Hilal squad to play more offensively in the second half.  

Although he played in the 63rd minute, but yes Neymar contributed a lot in this match. And Neymar should have scored there, but unfortunately Martín Campaña didn't let that happen. Before Neymar played, goalkeeper Al Riyad (Martín Campaña) played very well, he continued to block many golden opportunities from Al Hilal players. But when Neymar in, defender Riyad and the goalkeeper lost their focus.
By the way, before match against Damac FC at next, tomorrow Al Hilal will play in the LCA event and they will play against Navbahor. I think Al Hilal won't be have any difficulty, because with previous good contributions, it is likely that Neymar can contribute a lot too on that event to collect full points.

Anybody who claims that the Saudi Professional League is not gradually growing to compete with top clubs in Europe is not telling the truth. If the league keeps buying well-known players,  in few a years the league will attract more fans and sponsorship and endorsement deals. I recently watched some of the highlights of some current games and it is clear that the club has made tremendous improvements in the game of football.

Al Nassr's two straight losses have been a setback to the club.  The Saudi League is now so competitive that losing a game can become a costly mistake. Losing two games has made the club currently occupy the sixth position.  Their next game against Al-Ahli Saudi is so important because a win can make the club move to even second position depending on the results of other games. The game will not also be easy since Al-Ahli Saudi is also a quality club that has lost just one game this season.

Al-Hilal has 4 games ahead with obvious outsiders (from 12th to 17th place) and Neymar will most likely be able to open the scoring for the club (if he doesn’t start missing games again for some reason). Then we will see an interesting (hopefully) match with Al-Ahly, which are currently in second place. In general, despite the small number of top clubs in the league, every game is interesting, at least to see whether the European top players can improve their statistics.

Thanks to Neymar's contribution at Al Hilal, he officially made his debut in the first match against Al-Riyadh. Neymar was a good starter and provided chassis passes to create 4 goals which put Al-Hilal ahead. In his debut match, Neymar Jr came on to replace Michael Richard Delgado de Oliveira in the 63rd minute.
The match which ended with a score of 6-1 in favor of Al Hilal was dominated by attacking play. Even though Neymar did not score a goal on his first debut, Neymar's performance in that match contributed a lot to Al Hilal's game, and made Al Hilal at the top of the standings with 16 points.

Al-Ahli and Al-Taawoun both started the season very well. It's just that the depth of the squad owned by Al-Ahli is indeed better than the squad owned by Al-Taawoun. It's just that Péricles Chamusca is a coach who I think is very good. Because he was able to make Al-Taawoun compete at the top quite well at the start of this season. Last season Al-Taawoun also ended the season ranked 5th. And that was a pretty good result. But this season, it may no longer be easy for Al-Taawoun to stay in the top 5. Because the presence of Al-Ahli really means that the competition for the top 5 rankings seems to be dominated by the 5 clubs who bought the most top European players this season. Namely Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal, Al-nassr, Al-Ahli and Al-ettifaq.
I predict Al-Nassr will soon replace Al-Taawoun in the top rankings soon.

It's just that I still like the style of play that Al-Taawoun always displays. And actually Al-Taawoun's defeat by Al-Ahli was this club's first defeat this season. So it's not a bad result for the team. Because being beaten by Al-Ahli is much better than being beaten by other clubs that don't have many European players.

This is very true, those four clubs are the ones that are going for the title and I think they are going to do fine. I get that it may not look like much at the moment but that type of start for these four teams will end up being very important for this leagues future. They have spent way too much on players to be who they are at this moment, but that means the door is more open to a lot of players because of this.

Getting Ronaldo for a lot of money was very important for this exact purpose, it allowed other players to join, and those players joining meant that in the future there will be even more players that join. Hopefully, we are going to see this league get a lot better and have amazing players without a doubt.

This match should offer a very interesting match, because there will be a meeting of former top European players. Even though Al Nassr has the advantage of playing in front of its own public, don't underestimate the opposing team. because, they also have dangerous front line players. there are Mahrez, Firmino and Allan Saint-Maximin. Apart from that, there are Kessie, Gabri Viega, as well as goalkeeper Edouard Mendy. At the very least, Al-Ahli will try hard to maintain their ranking. Or, they could target three points in the next match.

However, from Al Nassr's side, in terms of depth this team should be stronger than Al-Ahli. I mean, overall. So it would be very natural if the home team is favored in this match. This match is also an important match for Al Nassr to defeat one of the teams which is quite difficult apart from Al Ittihad, Al Hilal and even Al Taawoun. Thus, Al Nassr will move into the top four of the Saudi Pro League standings. but what is certain is that this match will not be easy for both teams.
For Al Hilal, they are currently at the top of the standings. one point ahead of the team below. The presence of Neymar in the Al Hilal squad will add attack power to the front lines. Al Hilal is now one of the strong candidates in the race for the trophy this season.

I mostly agree with you, but there are some things I don't agree with, like saying victory will be on Al Nassr's side. I've also looked at the bookie's odds before, and I agree that Al Nassr are the big favorites in this match. But as you say, anything can happen in this match, that's the point. In other words, I still give Al Ahli a chance to surprise and make them win and beat Al Nassr.



Not only is it entertaining, but we are also interested in seeing it every week. Honestly, I was only looking forward to the big games before, and one of them was a game involving Al Nassr. But this season is a lot different, because I'm following almost every game, maybe not as intensely as when I followed matches in the Premier League or in La Liga, but now I'm following more SPL matches. I don't deny that it's a result of the top players joining who played in Europe before.

Of course it was very entertaining, the movements of former top European players there caught all of our attention. I think it makes sense that Al Nassr is the favorite club, because the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo can always make a difference. However, today fact is that Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Ahli also showed promising performance in the SPL. The battle for the top of the standings is getting more competitive every week, this is very interesting to always follow.

Obtaining the top score is also an exciting event, so far Ronaldo is at the top of the list. I think Neymar will be a contender on that list along with Benzema, Fermino for foreign players. On the other hand, I think Al Hilal will be champions at the end of the season, Neymar will be the difference for Al Hilal.

Saudi Pro League would be entertaining this season, I'm relaxed and ready for tough actions, besides I've the selected clubs I think would proved themselves this season for the league title. Al Ittihad won the title the previous season, but I think it would be really difficult for them to win it again. Al Nassr is my favorite in the league, the club have quality players that are capable to enchance their game, always aligning with good game results. Al Hilal and Al Ittihad will be the pre-eminent rival for the SPL title this season if other clubs doesn't belt up and bounce back to winning games.
