I almost forgot there was a big game today and I really wanted to bet on this game. It seems that it will be very difficult for anyone to predict which team will win this match and as you said the betting options for both teams to score goals or over goals are the most reasonable bets. If we look at the difference in odds in normal times, it is very risky because the two teams are mutually favored to win and it is possible that the match could end in a draw. Even though statistically Al-Hilal is quite strong for Al-Ittihad, the big match at the start of this season still raises question marks. So I would prefer the option of betting both teams to score goals because it is unlikely that one of these teams will only focus on defending for 90 minutes.

Regarding the game between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal which is an important game in Saudi Arabia, today until the last minutes the Al Hilal fans were waiting to see the news about Neymar if today he can play in the same or not, but according to some news from Al Hilal, it's confirmed that this palyer can't play in the match against Al Ittihad.

I would be rating SPL as a better league than MLS. There are so many strong clubs in SPL compared with MLS. We have also seen so many european stars were coming to the SPL.
It was pushing the quality from SPL itself rather than MLS which was only focusing on building old barcelona at this moment. I were watching this regularly and everything is still going very well.

The came of new players were giving very big impact to the club. Ronaldo was triggering so many players started to consider saudi pro league as their next movement.
Don't underestimate unpopular team in SPL. I saw that the big club like al nassr was losing against weak clubs. The money has been evolving this league to be one of best league in the world.

Even SPL will be broadcaster to the USA as well.

He is without a doubt one of the best players there and last season which he got there he was absolutely the best as not many other world class players joined.However this season that has just started is starting with many more star players that have joined different teams in the Saudi League and this of course is increasing the level of this league a lot from where it was before but I think it is to early to think that Ronaldo will continue to be the top scorer,most likely he will be but in there is also Neymar and a couple of new comers which will as I said make the quality of this league even more enjoyable.

Ronaldo changed everything in the League, many European stakeholders are just jealous of the Saudi Arabia pro league, the league they predicted will fail has come to stay and see no comparison to the failed China league.

Ronaldo, is the player of the month of August and still the top scorer in the league with just three games.

Saudi has been working through a good plan since the beginning. The positive side is that they got Ronaldo otherwise they wouldn't have been so popular with the beginning. They started with branding players but changed their strategy again when they were accused of only recruiting older. Because a league can never be run by only a few senior players. If they don't change their tactics then a league like China would have ended very quickly that are assumed by many. But overall, the way the Saudi clubs are progressing, they could be one of the better leagues in the future.

At this moment I think the Saudi Pro League is better than MLS and of course, basically here is a luxury and that it seems cannot happen in other leagues. Because after all, the star players who play here not only get expensive salaries, but there are also other bonuses given such as luxury cars, private jets, houses, etc. Therefore, the Saudi Pro League seems to be a luxury that is rarely found in other leagues out there, including Europe. But yes, even though the Saudi Pro League is all about luxury but still, football developments are still going to happen in Europe to improve the quality of every player too of course.

I really want to follow more this league but i allways feel like it miss something, i dont know what. Its like the same feeling with MLS, i feel both like a farmer league like someone said.

I hope with all this new player this change, this season its gonna be really hard to win the tournament with so good teams, we have 4/5 teams very well armed.

Congratulations on this achievement but it was never in doubt that he was going to win this award for the month of August because he was in an incredible run starting from the Arab cup champions competition that he just won with Al Nassr. Ronaldo is aging like fine wine and he keeps getting better against all the odd as he always looked unfavorable as he has complained numerous times. Ronaldo has been the key reason behind all Al Nassr victory but special shout-out has to go to players like Sadio mane that has improve Ronaldo games since his arrival at the club. The position of Al Nassr at the table was just because the season just started. They would have eventually climb up to the position they belong as they finish last season second on the table.


Neymar is an injury players which is why I still don't understand why he passed the medical without a rejection but I guess his influence was more important than his injuries because Neymar is a superstar that'll fit the Saudis program that started with signing Ronaldo and plans on signing every top aged superstar currently still playing in Europe but as for Benzema, he's going to do similar wonders Ronaldo is doing at Al Nassr when he gets over his injuries. He's a quality player and has a Ballon D'or to back that with several champions league trophy. Al-Ittihad vs Al Hilal that'll be played today mightn't feature them but it's still going to be a good match to watch. They both haven't lost a game since the start of this season so we might likely see a draw between them but I still favour Al Hilal to win.

The Arab sports industry is changing. Ronaldo's presence boosted the SPL's image. With so many big-name acquisitions, league business connections have skyrocketed. When FOX Sports buys U.S. television rights, things improve. I can't imagine how many U.S. CR7 fans would watch SPL games. According to my observations, several corporations currently promote in the Saudi Pro League. The Public Investment Fund lost money in 2022, but reforms have bumps. I expect further progress and possibly some difficulties

If we follow the young Cristiano Ronaldo's journey from Manchester United to now old at Al-Nassr, it's no wonder what he always achieves. As someone who is very influential to the younger generation, Cristiano Ronaldo will continue to set an example on the field by always setting new records. It's true that when Europe started to reject him, but his influence is still very much felt even now that he has created a place where all European players can earn more money. I think Cristiano Ronaldo has asked the club to sign a European player apart from him and the result is that now he is much more adaptable to players who know what he wants. It is certain that he will score more goals this season because he is supported by quality players such as Mane, Otavio and Brozovic, even now he is the current top scorer in the Saudi league.

Not to belittle but today we have a big match between Al-Ittihad vs Al-Hilal where both teams are currently in the top 1 and top 3 the winner of this match will secure first place, even though Al-Ittihad is playing at home that doesn't mean they are favorites we can check it based on the odds offered by the betting market. Of course, it's not easy to predict who will win but I suspect there will be a lot of goals in this match because we call it a battle of stars.

I also monitor bets for both teams to score even though the odds are 1.47 but this is a safe bet imo or over 3 goals is also not bad odds 1.87 will Al-Hilal take over the standings?  let's just wait and see how this match ends and I will ignore the bet on 1x2.

Al Tai vs Abha match today is expected to be an attacking full game between the two teams. Especially both the teams are strong enough and the winner of today's match, both teams will perform well on the field. Although there is a lot of difference in the points table between the two teams, Abha is at the 8th position in the points table with 6 points. On the other hand, Al Tai is at the 14th position in the points table with 3 points, so today's match will be a good game between the two teams. Although Al Tai has a higher chance of winning if he follows the betting avoidance across various casino platforms, it is difficult to say which team will win. However, as today's match will be a good attack between the two teams, it is not sure which team will win the match and collect the points in the points table.

Exactly we have to lock the match schedule between Al-Nassr vs Al-Ahli on September 23 as well as an opportunity for Al-Nassr to cut the point difference
It's just that I'm a little worried because Al-Nassr's match schedule is quite busy for example, on September 19 Al-Nassr must play in the Asian Champions League
then 4 days after that they will face Al-Ahli then the King Cup tournament is waiting for the next 3 days obviously it will drain the player's stamina.

If Ronaldo and Sadio Mane are always in the lineup, of course we don't need to worry but what if one of them gets injured, of course it would be a problem
The Coach must be able to arrange the schedule appropriately or managing the playing time of important players.

It seems to me that these players are bought mainly as a brand. This is a far-reaching strategy. Ronaldo's signing has opened up a dam of other transfers, and the league's large concentration of cool brands will keep players and fans alike interested in it. If the Saudis do not stop in their plans, then in a couple of years it will be a very interesting League. Now we see only the first wave, but then we will see qualitative changes.

Alnassr started the season not well, they tasted 2 consecutive defeats, but they can rise in the 3rd and 4th matches. This is common for all clubs, not just for Alnassr, after all, even though they are 2 matches behind or equivalent to 6 points they still have a great opportunity to catch up with that, especially they also still haven't met a club that is at the top of the standings and that could be one of their opportunities to reduce the distance of points when they meet later.
Entering week 5 and there are still many opportunities, and I'm not talking for alnassr alone but for all clubs that are competing.

It's pretty remarkable that Cristiano, who is 38 years old, is outperforming everyone. He's already leading in both goals and assists in this season. He's scored 5 goals and provided 2 assists in just 3 league games. Throughout his time in the Saudi League, he's been exceptional, and this is actually the second time he's receiving this award. He managed to recover his form by scoring a hat trick against Al Fateh and also scoring twice against Al Shabab in the following league match. Hopefully, he can keep creating more records for himself.

Injuries should be expected consistently in a league that is attracting older players. Ronaldo, Messi and Ibrahimovic, Modric are exceptional players who experience limited injuries but players like Benzema and Neymar are injury-prone players. One of the advantages of the Saudi Professional League is that they play fewer games compared to the European leagues. These players will play fewer games and have more time to rest which will improve their health condition.


Not everybody can cope in the Saudi society. America is freer than the Middle East and Messi and his family are used to European society. I just wonder how Neymar will be able to adjust to life in Saudi Arabia considering his clubbing and drinking lifestyle. Regarding the children, I think they can get the best European education in Saudi. Maybe she has other concerns about their upbringing. I also think that Messi moved to the US because they offered equal or something close to what Saudi offered financially.

At the age of 38 years, most of the football greats we know had already retired from playing professional football but Cristiano Ronaldo us still somewhere in the Middle East playing football with the hunger to score goals and win matches like that of a player in his early 20s.
Having scored 5 goals in three league appearances in the month of August, Cristiano Ronaldo rightly deserves his Saudi Pro League player of the month award. I believe that with his current form, he's gonna fire Al Nassr to the top of the league table in few league matches from now.
