It must be admitted, before the European stars arrived, Al Hilal was quite respected in Asia, especially now with the arrival of Neymar, I think Al Hilal and Neymar will be even more perfect and become strong candidates to win the Saudi Arabian Pro League this season. Neymar came in with a big impact on the team and the Saudi pro league was much better and more competitive.

As you said, after Naymar came on in the 64th minute the game immediately changed, despite making his debut from the bench, I think he was successful in that match. In fact, he could have scored a goal via a penalty but he chose not to take a penalty kick, even so he contributed an assist on the 5th goal scored by Malcom. I can't wait when the match between the four teams has seen the clash of alhilal and altitihad, alhali, Alnassr and altifad is a clash of giants.

Even though this match Al Ahli won 2-1 at half time, but in reality Al Taawon was able to have a better statistic record this match. So yeah, I think Al Taawon cannot be underestimated at all, because it seems like Al Taawon has big ambitions to be able to play well no matter who the opponent he faces. Because after all, Al Taawon is just a mediocre team in this league but Al Taawon can still put up a good fight when Al Taawon playing a top team in the Saudi league. It is unimaginable if for example in the future Al Taawon can make a big transfer, then maybe Al Taawon will be able to dominate the league. Thus, the Saudi Pro League has so far remained competitive and not as easy as previously imagined.

Good cooperation in this match Sadio Mane and Ronaldo were able to provide a very good score for 3 scores at the end of the match and if I look at the replay Ronaldo actually had 4 opportunities to score again but unfortunately he couldn't take advantage of these opportunities too hastily so the kick Ronaldo was not on target and was very narrow almost near the goal post several times and if Ronaldo can kick on target maybe there will be at least 5 goals that Al Nasr will get.
I really appreciate the performance of these two European players who can dominate in every match and the opportunity came bigger after the Al Raed player received a red card so competing with the remaining players made Al Raed unable to withstand Al Nasr's attacks and I congratulate the bettors who took advantage in this match with high odds you will definitely be happy in this match.

And yes, it was true what I said before, that there would be 2 or more goals scored, and it really happened with the 2 extra goals they scored. And Cristiano Ronaldo also scored in this match, with an additional goal from Talisca.
Al Nassr are making good progress after their two early defeats, with today's result allowing them to add to their tally of wins and points. Slowly but surely they are moving up the table, and for the time being they are ranked 5th, and I think they will continue to improve their standings and shift one by one the clubs that are above them at the moment.

I'm expecting more goals. Sadio Mane and Ronaldo are the main goal machine of Al Nassr. Mané scores from long range with a spectacular strike into the goal post. While Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make an attempt for a goal. It's the second half, and we're still watching. Al Nassr has an excellent opportunity of winning 4 nil because the home team is making barely any attempts to score, instead executing a defensive gamestyle with one man down. Al Nassr keeps the pressure on, and Al Raed doesn't seem to further ready for competing with the Knights of Najd.

Not only are they ahead in goals now, but they are also ahead in players after Al Raed lost a man to a red card just before the end of the first half. I strongly believe Al Naassr can finish this match with a win, not only that, but they are very likely to add to their tally in the second half, and I see at least 2 more goals or even more.
Sadio Mane is already on the scoresheet, and he can still get on the scoresheet again to make Al Nassr's victory even more convincing. Cristiano Ronaldo might also score in this match.

Currently the Saudi pro league is very competitive, the competition for titles race and tickets looks very difficult. But yes I also think, the team Ettifaq can compete on top zone. But also Ettifaq must to be more consistent to not lose points in every match, if they want to at least get one ticket. Also currently there is a surprise team Al Taawon, and consistency this team is really great. Although there are still many matches ahead, but Taawon cannot be underestimated considering that team is also currently in a good trend.

What are your thoughts on tonight's match between Al Ahli SC vs Al Taawon?
After winning against Al Nasr and only one draw match, I see potential for Al Taawon knowing that they are the only team in the standings (3rd place now) that didn’t spend much funds on European players compared to other teams, facing a team that spent millions. Al Ahli with known players like Riyad, Gabri, Ibanez and with all these players they're behind them in standings with one point that might become four tonight.
The odds are 5.00 for Al Taawon to win, and 1.57 for Al Ahli. Do you think it's a good betting opportunity to go with Al Taawon or do you think that Al Ahli will win easily and show us the difference they can make with their stars?

Al Ettifaq managed to get three points in this match, after beating Abha with a score of 1-3. But regarding competition in the top zone, basically Al Ettifaq can compete in the top zone but unfortunately, in this league they are only fighting about two tickets for AFC Champions League . Therefore, even though they managed to compete in the top five, it is still difficult for Al Ettifaq to end the season in first or second position. Because of this also, perhaps the competition will be less interesting because of course, fighting for two places will not be easy even though they have many great players in their squad.

Yes i think some minors teams needs to upgrade their game in the next season if they dont want to be really punished in every game against the big ones like Al-Nasr, Al Hilal , etc.

The thing about this its, if this happen we are gonna see another big flow of european player reaching the saudi league.

Al-Nasr won the last 3 games with a total score of 14-1, so it is understandable why bookmakers assume that the game with Al-Raed will have similar results.
As I understand it, Neymar’s debut did not impress anyone? He made an assist, but it was nothing special with the score 6-1.
And by the way series of serious games for Al-Hilal will begin only on October 27.

Previously, I predicted in the previous post that there would be three goals in this match, and it turns out that Al Hilal won this match with a landslide score. It would be natural if in the end Al Hilal was able to win the battle in this match. In the first half, Al Hilal dominated the game with 70% ball possession. Two goals were scored, one from the penalty spot, and another goal from Al-Shahrani who was able to use a pass from Sergej Savic.

In the second half after Neymar came on, Al Hilal seemed to have additional new ammunition and they were even more aggressive than in the first half. Neymar performed quite well in his first debut match even though he only played 26 minutes. he was enough to overwhelm Al Riyadh, with 31 touches, one assist, two shots on target, two big chances created. I think it was quite an impressive debut even though Neymar didn't score a goal on his first debut. Next, he will be the starting eleven player for the Al Hilal team squad.

Talking about the Al Hilal vs Al Nassr match, this match still has quite a long time lag. So, for now it's better if we discuss other matches. In the next few hours, Al Nassr will visit Al-Read headquarters. there is no choice but to win this match in order to reduce the difference in points from leaders Al Hilal. Apart from that, there is also an interesting match between Al-Ahli vs Al Tawooun. The result of this match will be decisive for both teams.  Well, it's interesting for us to wait.

U don't think we should be more worried about Neymar Jnr's number of goals or assists in his first game for his new club Al Hilal but to evaluate his general performance in game he played less than 30 minutes of normal time. Al Hilal were leading the game with just two goals to nil before Neymar was introduced in the 64th minute of the game and his presence changed the game which helped his team score four more late goals.
Neymar has shown he still got all takes to have a successful spell in his time at the Saudi Pro League and I believe the manager of the club is gonna give him some more playing time to prove his worth.

So far the match between Abha and Al-Ettifaq is still 0-0. It seems that Steven Gerrard's team was quite confused about being able to penetrate their opponent's defense. Statistically, Al-Ettifaq actually had full control of the match. On the other hand, we can also see Georginio Wijnaldum who made his debut in this match and of course we are waiting for his contribution as a new Al-Ettifaq player. Meanwhile, Moussa Dembele is expected to score another goal for Al-Ettifaq's victory. The match is still quite long and Al-Ettifaq will definitely win this match if they want to compete at the top.

It's better than when he did nothing to the club. 1 assist still being counted a contribution to the club even though if it was pretty small contribution from him. Neymar was not being trusted in executing the penalty against akhdoud.
Al hilal keeps show stable performance from time to another time. It seems to me if al hilal has becomet he strongest candidate to win the league at this moment.

Ittihad must be careful to face al hilal caused by this club is far stronger compared with last season. Adding mitrovic and neymar were changing the game play a lot for the club.
I must really appreciate the club to did the right transfer in bringing mitrovic and neymar to the club.

Neymar and Al-Hilal have passed guys we have a few more matches today AL Raed vs AL Nassr certainly the one that most caught our attention
The handicap for this match is AL Nassr -2 meaning Al Nassr must win with a difference of 3 goals so will Al Nassr win by scoring 3 goals or more today like Al Hilal?
In the last match Al Nassr won by scoring 5 goals and this time their opponents Al Raed are a weak team who are in 15th position , it seems Al Nassr will do it again.

Al Hilal is very strong now. unbeaten and are the most productive team with 20 goals in 6 matches.
Al Riyadh slumped badly at the start of this season. he is at the bottom of the standings, they need a lot of hard work to compete at least to the middle of the standings.

Al Nassr will face Al Raed today. Al Nassr also had some big wins. Maybe in this match Ronaldo and his friends can score more than 3 goals. It should be quite easy for Al Nassr to win in the next match. of course they want to compete for trophies, and they can't afford to keep dropping points.

You are talking about Neymar as if he is a king or something, "the Neymar", "the King of Saudi Arabia".

Yes but I was more referring to the mood that seems to be dominating Neymar's choice when or when not to play for his club. He rarely skips on games with the national team, but instead often skipped club games instead. I think it shouldn't be that way, but nobody can prove whether he is injured or not when he says his ankle hurts.

His debut for Al-Hilal was good. He assists four goals and contributed some good action to the total result and performance. No goal so far, but the highlights showed that this going to happen rather sooner than later.

The big victory obtained by Al Hilal shows that Al Riyadh is not a worthy opponent for them, in terms of squad depth between the two they are very different. I'm happy that Neymar made a contribution to the team on his debut and that was very good. In fact, if a penalty was awarded to Neymar it would be sweeter, Neymar would score a goal in his debut match.

The results of this match confirmed Al Hilal position at the top of the SPL standings temporarily, second place will be determined by the results of Al Taawon against Al Ahli. Al Hilal and Al Taawon are the two clubs that are unbeaten in the SPL so far, I am a little surprised by Al Taawon performance.

Hold on, don't disrespect other teams because they've sign so many European players, they will compete against Al Hilal.

I hope there's will be new team will win in Saudi Professional League, this will trigger Al Hilal to sign more European players in order to win the league. A complete domination like in Bundesliga doesn't looks good because it make the league is really to be predicted.
