The double bet is reasonable but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Al-Hazm's chances of winning are very unlikely but for a draw it is still possible with both teams scoring goals. Actually, Al-Ahli is very confident in what they have, but considering that this is the first match for the new players, of course, if it doesn't match expectations, it will be difficult to score goals.

On the other hand, if I were Roberto Firmino or Riyad Mahrez then I would know the instinct to score when an opportunity arises with the experience I have gained so far. So I think the win will still be with Al-Ahli, even if it's a draw Al-Hazm might be lucky enough with an absurd turn of events.

I said it's easy money to bet, Al Ahli have many advantages, besides playing at home they also have great new players so they will be confident
Al Hazm is not a strong team they are a promotion team this season so I assume this match is not comparable Al Ahli can win with a lot of goals
Al Ahli is also still active in the transfer window, recently I heard they prepared 12 million pounds to bring Thiago from Liverpool.

Al Nassr must win this match otherwise many people will making fun of them by saying spent a lot money for wasteful players. There's no big transfer in Al Hilal, it's really shame for Al Nassr to lose. It's different if Al Nassr faced Al Ahli or Al Ittihad where both of this teams have many European players.

I'm rooting for Al Nassr, hope my decision will not be wrong.

The final match in the Arab Champions Cup between Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be the first big test for the european-based players that was signed to both in the summer.
Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr I think I think at the best side to come out victorious in this game. Sadio Mane's partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo will be one of the defining factors in that game. Al Hilal who like other Saudi top clubs also signed European based players but not as high profiled as the Al Nassr's players

OK.. so we'll get to see Roberto Firmino in action today, after his move to Saudi Arabia. And he made the move after 8 long years in Liverpool where he represented that club in 256 matches. Hopefully he will stay at Al Ahli for a similar duration. Fellow countryman Roger Ibañez will give him company at Al Ahli, along with other overseas players such as Franck Kessié, Ryad Boudebouz, Ezgjan Alioski and Allan Saint-Maximin. Al-Hazem on the other hand do have a few Brazilians in their squad (Paulo Ricardo, Bruno Viana and Vina de Souza). 

Tomorrow is the Final match is the Arab Champions Cup and Al Hilal will face Al Nasr while both teams spent too much money in this transfer window and both will definitely have different performances than what we saw from them in the last season when they were playing again each other. However Al Nasr spent more money but the beat player Al Hilal bought are Malcom and Sergej Milinković-Savić, more than anything in Hilal the fan expect to see good performances from these two players.

I agree that it is better to take a handicap if you bet on Al Ahli. 1.22 is a very small coefficient even for such a difference in the class of teams. In addition, this is an opening match and often there is increased randomness, so I would either bet on favorite with handicap or double chance on the underdog (this is a bet for playing at a distance, but I think it makes sense).

today starts the first game of the league, we will finally be back to follow the games, in all this time that the league is on vacation, it was very difficult to find good games to place bets on, but from today until next year we will have games of this league and the European country leagues for betting. for the case of today's game, we have AL Ahli Saudi FC against AL Hazem FC, the odds of this game show a clear favoritism for AL Ahli Saudi FC with odds of @1.22 because of the difference in the squad level of these two teams it seems to me that it is a very big difference, for example AL Ahli Saudi FC for this season they signed the following players: Riyad Mahrez who came from manchester city, they paid 35.00 M € for him, then they also hired Roger Ibañez who it came from as roma and they paid €28.50M for it

they also signed Allan Saint-Maximin who came from newcastle, they paid 27.20 M € for him, then they also signed douard Mendy for 18.50 M € who came from chelsea, then they signed Franck Kessié who came from barcelona and they paid €12.50M for it. the list of signings doesn't end, they managed to bring another player: Roberto Firmino who came from livepool, since he is a good striker, I see that he will score goals and help the team to win. while the AL Hazem FC squad does not have any major signings, the difference in terms of squads between these two teams is a very big difference

The question today will be to see if this big difference in the squad will also be visible with actions inside the field, in the last 2 games AL Hazem FC did not get good results, while AL Ahli Saudi FC their last game was months ago against AL Hazem FC in a game that ended in a draw, today they play against each other again, but this time with AL Hazem FC having a good squad, the value of that odd of 1.22 in favor of AL Hazem FC makes perfect sense. in my opinion AL Hazem FC will leave with victory from this game

reviewing the Al Nassr match yesterday actually Ronaldo had two scores but Ronaldo first goal made a mistake crossing the offside line so the first score was annulled. I also agree with what you said because even though he looks strong and has reliable players from Europe like Ronaldo, it does not guarantee that he will win against Al Hilal because yesterday match against Shorta was almost a draw with a little difficulty, its just that Mane gave a surprise which resulted in a penalty.
so there is no guarantee that Al Nassr can beat Al Hilal but hopefully this prediction is wrong and hopefully it ends in a draw.

You are absolutely right, Ronaldo will be the main striker with 3 third mid attackers installed behind Ronaldo to supply the ball to him, but that slowly changed when Sadio Mane played in yesterday's semifinals, coach Al Nassr no longer placed Ronaldo as a striker in front, straight with 3 strikers in front, only two strikers are not the main choice to take a penalty, so that's why Ronaldo who scores.
It's not a good game strategy if coach Al Nassr continues to apply the same thing after Sadio Mane was present and Talisca before Ronaldo's presence can be said to be a productive striker in this team, and I suspect why before they relied fully on Ronaldo because it was impossible to expect him to run like when he was playing at Real Madrid or Juventus because age would certainly prevent him from playing like that.
In tomorrow's final against Al Hilal, they will again deploy 3 strikers at once, and pretty sure Sadio Mane will do well to score goals instead of just providing an assist for Ronaldo.

I am not sure you clearly understood the point @Sithara007 was making. His point is that a single player cannot bring victory to a club. Such players will need the assistance or cooperation of other quality players to win matches and trophies. He gave an example of Portugal not winning many trophies even with the presence or participation of Ronaldo in almost all their games. The relationship is that if only Ronaldo can singlehandedly  bring success to a team, Portugal would have won many trophies but because a single player cannot Al-Nassr fans shouldn't expect Ronaldo to perform miracles. But with the signing of some good players like Sadio Mané, Seko Fofana, Marcelo Brozovic, and Alex Telles, the fans should expect a better performance this season.

An easy match for Al-Ahli to win and from their last few meetings it is also clear that Al-Ahli always dominates the game and makes it difficult for Al-Hazm to balance the game or beat Al-Ahli.
Within the two clubs Al-Ahli is also superior by having great players who can easily block enemy attacks and can easily penetrate enemy defenses, I think Al-Hazm will get a pretty crushing defeat in this match.

The odds that Al-Ahli has are quite low but taking the risk by adding a little more money at stake I think it's still worth it so that the wins you get are bigger.

Well in the end teamwork is what is needed in football. And actually Al-Nassr has good teamwork. But I honestly want to assess that Al-Nassr's midfield has several gaps which make it sometimes difficult for them to help the attack line. So often the attack line is a little backwards. But if you compare it with other clubs in Arab besides Al-hilal and Al-ittihad, Al-Nassr is indeed better. So far Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad have the same performance. But this time, Al-Hilal actually has the most improvement this season.

So that the task of CR7 and his friends will definitely experience difficulties when facing Al-Hilal in the Finals.

And about Al-Nassr actually they trouble for convert the ball towards CR7. Because we know that every CR7 game is always guarded closely. So it is very difficult for this player to get out of the tight guard of the opponent.
Fortunately when there is Sadio Mane who can help CR7 in the attack. Well, now the  the focus of tight guard by the opponent will be divided into two namely to Mane and also CR7.

Don't forget guys, today we have the opening match for the saudi league bringing together Al-Ahli against Al-Hazm. If we look at the H2H two teams, Al-Ahli is superior with several wins and of course with a very dangerous squad owned by Al-Ahli which is almost entirely filled with European star players, this will definitely be an easy match to win. From the odds offered by the dealer, it is very clear that Al-Ahli is winning with very small odds. Meanwhile, Al-Hazm gets so many odds @10.00 and it's very impossible to win. But if you are not quite satisfied with the odds for Al-Ahli @1.22, we can bet using the handicap (-1.5) with odds @1.70 which has a much bigger winning result.

It's a common thing to see the fans were only concentrating their focus on ronaldo. They think that ronaldo is a big hope for al nassr in any match. What's the correlation between it with portugal? What you said actually a non sense thing. There have been so many nations participated in the big competitions like world cup. The previous against al shorta was not so good as nassr could only win the game through penalty that has been successfully executed by ronaldo. I won't win through penalty is something special even though win is a win.
The next match will become a hardest match. I remember when al hilal was beating al nassr with huge scores last season. The same thing gonna repeat again soon.

When Al Hilal purchased Cristiano Ronaldo for such a huge amount, they had bigger plans. Performing well in the Saudi Professional League was just one of the secondary targets. The main aim was to win hosting for the 2030 FIFA World Cup. Ronaldo is expected to stay in Saudi Arabia until 2026 or so, and he will be leading the Saudi delegation which is going to bid for hosting rights. There are rumors that Ronaldo will be giving up his citizenship from Portugal in favor of a passport from Saudi Arabia. But I agree that his form is down recently.

If you look at the benefits that are obtained from Ronaldo presence at Al Nassr, not one party benefits. Ronaldo plays a role more than any player in the SPL, how come Ronaldo does not carry the name Saudi Pro League in the eyes of the world. Who would have cared about the SPL before Ronaldo arrived, now Sponsors, News media and we all look at him.

I agree and of course agree with you that Ronaldo is no longer the same player as at Real Madrid and Juventus. But for now, the target of Al Nassr is to increase the popularity of the club and the league through the prestige of Ronaldo. Another fact, we can see the world's major media writing news about the SPL using the keyword Cristiano Ronaldo.

You cannot blame them if people think that way because that is indeed one of the reasons why Al Nassr acquired Cristiano Ronaldo to play on their team in the first place and it's not because of his popularity because Saudi League mainly the club cannot benefit from that. But you are also correct, CR7 is not the same star anymore because he is quite older now, hence he cannot perform the same and lift the team just like what he did in his previous years in the European League but his experience will be a big help to the team.

Ronaldo alone can't do anything. And that is the reason why Portugal never won a major trophy despite having Ronaldo in the XI for so long. But this time, the chances look brighter since Al Nassr has now got a number of players to support Ronaldo. This time they have managed to get Marcelo Brozović and Talisca in the squad, which should boost the team balance for Al Nassr. Anyway, Al Nassr is doing well recently. Yesterday they won the Arab Club Champions Cup semi-final, by defeating Al Shorta (1-0, goal by Cristiano Ronaldo).

It was a lot of pleasure to witness Al-Nassr perform a spectacular exhibition, confirming that they are equipped to face any challenge. They secured their position in the final, and they have a 90% probability of winning since they are more determined and competitive than their opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates are held accountable for the club's the recent improvements in performance; they achieved it with a furious competitive spirit-filled and they are completely prepared to put the pressure on any club they encounter in the final.
