The match will be held in Al Nassr home today. Of course Al Nassr will have a big chance to win this match because Al Nassr must get point if they still want to compete for the title. Al Nassr has the advantage because the match will be in their home, Al Wehda also didn't perform well lately. They are even almost in the relegation zone. Ideally, it won't be difficult to beat Al Wehda. Moreover, Al Nassr currently is managed by a new coach, they perform better in the last 2 matches.

According to the stats, it is true that Al Nassr looks better. Al Nassr also has a higher level of squad quality. So, there is no reason that Al Nassr to get a defeat in this match. Al Nassr also must get full points because the next match will be harder. They have a big match against Al Hilal in matchday 9, in this match it won't be easy to get points.

Napoli can't use Osimhen anymore since he doesn't have a good relationship with this team anymore and Osimhen won't be useful for them regardless of his performance he had in this team before. Osimhen was a good talent in Napoli and considering his age he could have a good future in this team but soon after extending his contract with Napoli he wanted to leave the team for another team and while he had some offers he rejected all offers and decided to stay there.
Napoli just wants to earn money by selling Osimhen to the Saudis and that's why I think giving Osimhen to Al Ahli can be a good move for Napoli.

Al-Nassr vs Al-Wehda team match will start in some time. In this match Al-Nassr team has more chance to win because Al-Nassr team is at number 5 position in the point table. On the other hand Al-Wehda team is at number 14 position in the point table.  -Wehda team has lost 2 of their last 4 matches, drawn 1 and won the remaining 1 match.Al-Nassr has won 2 matches and drawn 2 of their last 4 matches.

Al-Nassr football team played very well in last match and that team won the match by 2-0 . I am talking about King Cup and that match was organized in the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium and that was interesting match and we enjoyed that match and players gave their hundred percent to give good match. Mané did first goal of the match at 45+6' and after his goal  Alsayyali did second goal of the match and first goal for his team and Boushal did last goal of the match and after this goal, match bent to the side of Al-Nassr .  Tge overall performance of Al-Nassr team was excellent and they prepared well for that match and after that they became successful to achieve their goal.

Al Nassr have never won in their last 6 matches, that is a statistic that says they always have difficulty when facing Al Hilal. 4 times they lost and 2 times they drew and even in the last meeting, they had to lose with a fairly big score of 4-1.
Not only is Al Hilal's strategy better than Al Nassr, but their chemistry is also better than Al Nassr, that's what makes Al Hilal always able to handle the resistance made by Al Nassr. Al Nassr from the start did try to get good results when facing Al Hilal, but their efforts were very difficult to get good results.

So far, Al Nassr has a bad record every time they face Al Hillal either with or without Ronaldo in squad, so indeed this shows how the mentality and strategy owned by Al Hillal is still better than Al Nassr although in terms of their quality of their squad is better than by owned by Al Hillal so far, since Ronaldo arrival to Al Nassr they have actually made 3 changes of coach but Rudi Garcia,  Dinko Jelicic and Luis Castro have not been able to improve Al Nassr performance, Stefano Pioli became to 4th their coach since 2023 and seeing his performance in Milan so far of course they have great hopes to get better this season, beating Al Hillal will certainly please Al Nassr fans, but victory over Al Hillal certainly cannot guarantee that they can win the championship trophy considering many SPL teams who are now starting to improve by bringing in many European stars players, Al Nassr's chances of improving are huge in Pioli's hands at the moment because of his experience and ability in coaching, but I think that is not enough if Al Nassr does not have the mentality as a title challenger.  

HEAD TO HEAD AL NASSR Vs AL HILLAL

But it is very difficult if you look at the current situation even though it is not something to be afraid of but AL Hilal has really gained momentum to become the strongest team so far when the new season starts, we see clearly how AL Hilal cannot be defeated at this time even by Al Ittihad who is a competitor in the hunt for the top of the standings, they cannot beat him, Pioli really has to work hard on how AL Hilal can win, I can't bear to see how Ronaldo or other players are crying because of the defeat they received, I also admit that this league is quite competitive and is getting better day by day.

Well this year could be CR7's revenge for his team to finally get on top, it's never too late, I usually see things in a very positive light, Al Nassr is very hurt when they lose, and looking back at when CR7 cried, I think that showed how highly competitive he is, something like what happened to Messi at one point, when they were also crying, that is worthy of being players who feel absolutely everything and are very professional, this is what I like most about football, that these players don't hold back anything, in this case I'm sure that Al Nassr will have everything to win and will be able to do so to score points.

In this match, we got to see a lot of strength and more goals from Al-Nasr side.  And their players have not allowed Al Wahda's players to score a single goal.  The reason for this is Al Nasr's performance which is making them strong be it SPL or Saudi League.  Moreover, in this league, more bets are placed on Al-Nasr and a lot of profit is taken from it.  Because Rolando, who is the player of this team, has made every team player stronger.  Al-Nasr has scored 6 goals in this match and the strength of their players can be estimated from this match.  Yes, you are right and it has been proven that they should have played stronger than hard work and victory, but they could not succeed in this. Due to which they lost by 6 goals.  Yes, but for that they have to work hard and fast.

It is true that this is Al-Nassr's main problem in the past few seasons. Their not so strong defense always makes Al-Nassr almost concede in every match. So the task of the attack line always becomes much harder. because they also have to compensate by scoring more goals.

But in Al-Nassr's match against Al-Ettifaq, it seems like we saw quite a rapid improvement in Al-Nassr's back line. Because for the first time this season in the SPL we saw Al-Nassr end the match without conceding a ball into their goal. And Al-Nassr even won with an extraordinary score of 0-3. Al-Ettifaq, which is also a strong club, turned out to lose by a fairly large score. And I think Pioli can really bring Al-Nassr to better results this season. Al-Nassr's defense level will also be better.

But at least so far Pioli's arrival has had a big impact on Al Nassr, by recording two wins that became a big motivation for the club that previously only recorded one win from three early season matches. Pioli's arrival not only restored the players' confidence, but also showed Al Nassr's potential this season to compete for the SPL trophy quite big. Far from reasonable expectations because he has only played a few times with Al Nassr, we'll just see in the future how he will make Al Nassr consistent and of course be able to beat Al Hilal as the defending champion.

But what is certain is that Al Nassr still needs strong defenders and midfielders because so far Al Nassr's weaknesses have been in the defensive line and attacking midfielders to build more creative attacks. I think if Pioli is given the freedom to bring in some players, Al Nassr will be champions this season.

Pioli can be said to be successful so far because in a short time, Pioli has succeeded in building good relationships with the players and Pioli's presence also provides an injection of enthusiasm to the entire team, maybe this will continue in the following matches.

Al Wahda must have a hard time facing Al Nassr. They are not good enough at the moment. Even when they met Al Ittihad they had to lose 7-1. While the last meeting with Al Nassr they lost 7-0. Clearly a bad result for Al Wahda.
Pioli's arrival seems to give a better spirit. At least to catch up on the current points I think Ronaldo and the team can do it.
I'm not so sure about the bet on this match. But maybe Al Wahda can also score in the next match.

In the match against Al Ittihad, Al Hilal was not only able to match him, but Al Hilal really made Al Ittihad helpless. The reason is that in this match Al Hilal was able to win the match with a fairly landslide score, namely 3-1. So with this we can conclude that this season Al Hilal is still the strongest team in the Saudi Arabian League. Because the proof is that currently Al Hilal looks like it will again record the same record as the previous season, namely continuing to win without losing. Maybe the only team that can hinder Al Hilal at the moment is Al Nasr, and that is still only a possibility. The reason is that currently Al Nasr is handled by a great coach (Pioli), and he was able to win his last 2 matches well. However, even so, Al Nasr will still have difficulty winning over Al Hilal. Because Al Hilal really has the right composition in every line, has a really great coach too, and Al Hilal already has very strong chemistry between its players. So even though Al Nasr has many star players at the moment, it looks like it will still be a little difficult to keep up with Al Hilal's game. But even so, nothing is impossible in the world of football. So even though the possibility that Al Nasr can beat Al Hilal is not very big, in essence Al Nasr still has hope. And yes, currently Al Hilal is leading the standings again in the Saudi Arabian league. Apart from that, it is true, to be able to shift Al Hilal's current position, a minimum of two losses to Al Hilal are needed. But in my opinion this is still a little difficult to happen at the moment.

Stefano Pioli was appointed on the 18th of September, and since then, Al Nassr has played just two games. They won an away game against Al-Ettifaq in the Saudi Professional League and defeated Al-Hazm in the King Cup of Champions. The Italian tactician has the experience and skills to keep winning but it is too early to conclude that he is the solution to the club's past poor performance. The general performance has improved, and it showed in their ball possession. They controlled these two games and even had more shots on target. I am glad Ronaldo and Mane have all scored this season. With the improved performance, I can also bet on them because winning two straight games shows that there is an improvement.

Upcoming matches.

Al Nassr vs Al Wahda.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr currently looks more likely to compete with strong teams in the SPL after Pioli joined Al Nassr.
I have a temporary prediction that betting on Al Nassr victory is very profitable by choosing Al Nassr over 3.5 with odds @2.15.

First Pioli has a better coach CV than Castro and second he had a good debut with Al-Nassr. It's good start for him and Al-Nassr can hope that Pioli will bring more positive changes to the club. They actually saw potential of Pioli to help their club breaking the crisis and improving their performances to compete better against a very strong club in Saudi Professional League, Al-Hilal.

Al-Nassr in two latest seasons don't have problems with attacking but they had big problems in defense that will be a main focus of Pioli in coming months. They need to help Al-Nassr to improve defense, and if he fails the club will fail in a title competition with Al-Hilal again.

Al-Nassr club has good quality players and with these players it is definitely possible to be in the best position in the Saudi League. However, this club has always been behind Al Hilal due to some wrong decisions of the manager in several seasons, but there are indications that Al-Nassr will compete hard with Al Hilal this season. 

Al Hilal has collected 12 points from the first 4 matches while Al-Nassr has collected 8 points from the first four matches so far. Al Hilal won all the matches while Al Nach won two matches and drew two matches. With most of the season ahead of them, if Al-Nassr pays more attention to every game and tries to play more aggressively, maybe the points gap they have with Al Hilal will be closed very easily.

Al Hilal is a team that is always at the top of the standings at the beginning of each season while Al Ittihad is also one of the best teams in the Arab League both of them display quite interesting games with ball possession controlled by Al Ittihad. There were several mistakes made by Al Ittihad players so that they conceded and Al Hilal players continued to attack until the 2nd half ended with a big win for them.

Currently, Al Hilal is at the top of the standings with the most points for the time being, the match is not over yet, Al Hilal is able to maintain the standings until they become champions this season, Al Nassr is also a team that is difficult to beat this season.

Al Hilal is still very difficult to beat even though the opponent they face is Al Ittihad who has recently performed well but Al Hilal is still able to match Al Ittihad's game and make their opponent unable to move, Al Hilal's attacks cannot be stopped they play more dominantly to put pressure on their opponents and try hard to win the match just like they did when facing Al Nassr.

Now Al Hilal leads the standings with the most points, when this club is at the top it will be difficult for the clubs below it to shift their position from the top unless Al Hilal loses in the next 2 matches.

Pioli wasn't a great manager at Milan and I think it shouldn't really be that crazy to think about at all, it is something that Saudi teams are doing quite famously and I do not think that they should do it. A manager who has done badly and fired by some team, gets a job here and people expect him to do great here, I get hat Milan and Al Nassr isn't that same and Al Nassr is a lot worse and that is why we are not seeing anyone be mad that Pioli was brought in, but I do not think that they are doing as well as Hilal and Jesus.

I guess that we are going to see this team not change that much and we are not going to see it become something big. It has to be something that will probably keep it same. I believe Hilal will be first and Nasr will be second yet again.
