Undoubtedly, Cristiano Ronaldo is a talented footballer and it is very likely that he will continue playing for at least 4 more seasons. I think he will be able to touch the desired milestone of 1000 goals because if we call him a goal machine then it definitely goes with his name. In addition to scoring goals, his income is increasing day by day, this season also Ronaldo is in the list of the highest paid footballers in the world. According to Forbes report, he earned $28.5 crore in 2024, second highest among footballers after Lionel Messi.
As Cristiano Ronaldo ages, his playing speed will naturally slow down, but his feats will live on for a long time.

93 goals away from 1000th goal milestone, Cristiano Ronaldo can do it if he can play in about 3 or 4 more seasons. With his ambition and strong body, he will be able to do it and if he can play 4 more seasons, it will be possible for him to hit that unbelievable milestone with 1000 goals in a player career.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal scoring stats shows that he is a goal machine with very stable ability in scoring goals. He will be older and play worse than before but scoring about 20 goals each season in next 4 seasons is very possible for him. If he scores 30 goals each season, he will hit 1000th goal in next 3 seasons and he even can do it in less than 3 more seasons.

Al Hilal managed to win with 3 goal without reply but unfortunately Aleksandar Mitrovic could not create goal as you expected, he was only able to do 4 shots but did not produce results.
Al Nassr also managed to win with score of 1 - 2, Ronaldo gave 4 shots but could only get 1 goal from penalty kick, Al Hilal and Al Nassr both ended the match as expected.
I added Al Nassr in the bet but all of them were not for the winning option but Under 4.75 on Al Hilal vs Al Feiha and Over 2.25 on Al Nassr vs Al Shabab and all of them were successful.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a 97th minute winner goal to hand his Al Nassr team all three points in their away game against Al Shabab tonight. After Aymeric Laporte opened the scoreboard with a goal in the 69th minute, the away team was somehow controlling the game till the last minute of normal time when the host got an equalizer which made many think it was going to end in stalemate but Cristiano Ronaldo was able to step up and score a wonderful goal in the dying minutes.
The Portuguese superstar have now been able to record 55 goals in 54 appearances for Al Nassr. To think he's doing all these numbers at 39 tells how super of a human he is

They have the money to spend therefore let them spend it to get a very strong team that'll be able to compete with the rest. You can't say Al Nassr doesn't need more players when they're not as strong as the other top teams. Al Nassr defenders are weak, they need to buy more players both in the attacking option and in their defence. Right now they don't have many quality players and that's why they keep losing and drawing games that they should be winning to help them close the gap in the title race. Kevin De bruyne coming is only going to help Ronaldo as he'll be providing him with assist therefore they shouldn't stop at just buying him but buy others.

Cristiano Ronaldo bought for a higher price then current club Al Nassr  and the annual salary is much higher. Many commented on why Saudi Arabia spent so much money to buy Cristiano Ronaldo, but at least this time everyone understood what Saudi Arabia's real intentions were. Just like when a new product is brought to the market, it has to be marketed well and the product has to be introduced to the people through advertising, so now Saudi Arabia wants to present their league to the world through Ronaldo and they are very successful in that direction. Since Ronaldo came to Saudi Arabia, many European players have come to the Saudi League and are playing for the Saudi League. In the future, this league will become more popular as Saudi Arabia will focus more on buying quality players.

I agree with you that the competition will be more interesting for the teams that are in the relegation zone and I would venture to say that betting on any of the teams that are in the relegation zone has a high risk of losing money, even when the games are between two teams that are in the relegation zone, predicting the result of the game will still be a very difficult task, I just prefer to bet on games involving Al Nassr and Al Hilal because they are more consistent; and I don't bet on the last 10 teams in the table when they play each other, I would only bet if Al Nassr and Al Hilal played against the last 10 teams in the table.

Al Hilal football team is my favorite team in the Saudi Pro League and I am supporting that team because that team has best players and that team looks like top team and that team can win this tournament because in this season that team played brilliant and now they they are in good situation. They won all matches which they played in this tournament and they are at the top and they got 18 points. The match will be organize in the KINGDOM ARENA stadium and Al Hilal has good record , and hopefully that will be good match Al-Fayha football team won only 1 match when they played against Al Hilal team and they lose three matches and one draw in H2H .

AL Hilal has been the top of the standings in the last few seasons, and this season they are also believed to be able to become champions again in the Saudi Pro League, they are recorded as having never been defeated since last season, thanks to their solid performance. It is quite difficult to stop the dominance that is now held by Al Hilal, the team that is expected to be a stumbling block for them is in fact not at its best level so they still have difficulty in defeating AL Hilal. As I said before, the competition at the bottom is actually more interesting, they are trying to get out of the relegation zone and with a close distance they are very likely to do that.

Yes, competition at the bottom of the Saudi Arabian League is very tight. The reason is, almost all the bottom teams in the Saudi Arabian League have only been able to achieve one win so far. The reason is that the points obtained by the bottom teams are not much different. Maybe next week the ranking positions of these teams will definitely change. Because as you said, just one match will affect the ranking of the bottom team in the Saudi Arabian League. Apart from that, I personally am a little surprised by the teams at the bottom of the Saudi Arabian League. The reason is, most of the teams ranked at the bottom are teams that have played in the Saudi Arabian League in the previous season. So what is surprising is that newcomer teams that have just been promoted to the Saudi Arabian League can immediately crawl to the middle or even the top of the Saudi Arabian League. For example, Al Orubah, who has just been promoted to the Saudi Arabian League, is performing quite well and is currently ranked 11th. And the most surprising thing is Al Qadisiyah, this newly promoted team is even able to compete very epicly and is able to make a breakthrough at this time. Because currently Al Qadisiyah is able to reach 6th place in the Saudi Arabian League. Maybe the reason Al Qadisiyah can be this great is definitely because of the recruitment of top European league players in this summer's transfer market. Like Nacho Fernandes and also Aubameyang. Therefore, his performance was immediately good in his first season appearing in the Saudi Arabian League.

Both the top and bottom standings are still equally interesting to look forward to, although the competition that occurs in the top standings is not like the lower standings, but still what we want to see is a tight competition between the big teams, such as Al-Hilal, Ittihad & Al-Nassr. Matchweek 7 starts today, they are:

1. Al Khaleej - Al-Ahli
2. Al-Hilal - Al Feiha
3. Al-Shabab - Al-Nassr

Al Hilal continues without a loss and we are watching the race in the lower ranks together. The race in the upper ranks seems simpler, while the fight for the top should normally be tighter, the fight of the teams at the bottom of the league seems to be more exciting. Of course, since there are only 6 matches played, I think the points difference will widen in such a short time. Also, I think the top will be Al Hilal's this year.

For a team to be fully strong they need to be the best in attack, midfield and defense. Al Nassr currently has the best forwards in their team but they are missing in their team is the best midfielders and the best defenders as a result of which they are yet to emerge as the Totally powerful team in the Saudi Pro League. Al Nassr first signed Cristiano Ronaldo and then Sadio Mane to strengthen the attacking side of their squad. One of Al Nasser's main motives behind signing these two was to help them form a good attack against the opposition. As you mentioned that Kevin De Bruyne is going to sign with Al Nassr team, if that happens then Al Nassr might be much stronger in the midfield.

The competition at the bottom is actually more interesting than the top, at the top now there is a fairly large gap and it is difficult to catch up. While at the bottom their points are quite close and it can change in just one match. The teams that are on the edge of the safe zone cannot be calm because they are very threatened and if they lose in one match and another team below them can win, then the position in the standings will change. Practically only 1 point is the distance between one team and another, so it is a very close distance and can even be said to be a gapless distance. They have to work hard to be able to maintain their position in a safe place.

Al Nassr didn't really need to hire more superstar palyers from Europe they already got palyers they needed and they already have even things they should have for a good performance team. I think now all they need is to give Pioli more chances and let their new coach to use the palyers they have. However, Al Nassr is still far from teams like Al Hlal and maybe it will not be easy for Al Nassr to win the Saudi league title yet because so far in the gems we saw from Al Hilal they won all the games and nearly had no weakness in the games we saw from this team so far. Now Al Nassr is close to hiring Kevin De Bruyne from Macnshter City but I think hiring this player won't be cheap for them at all.

More than 2 goals in this match is a sure thing, even though it is only at @1,25 odds. Besides, the SPL season has just started, only 6 games have been played, we can't say that Al-Shabab is a good team. Look at what they could do last season, they were only in 8th place, far from being worthy of being called a great team.

Therefore, if Al-Shabab can win against Al-Nassr we should be surprised by the result, because Al-Nassr should not lose to a mid-table team, even if they're playing at home.

IMO, looking at the odds given by bookmakers on the asian total option, makes me sure that this match will get a score of more than 3.5.
Although a team like Al Feiha is not too strong, but a team like this can provide a surprise. I don't think Al Hilal can lose but Al Feiha can put up a fight.
So betting on over 3.5 or BTTS seems like a good choice.

In the summer transfer market that has ended, Al Nasr has not been able to bring in top players from Europe. I don't know what the main cause is, but of course this is very crucial for Al Nasr. This is because Al Nasr's rival team in the SPL is getting stronger with the new players it has recruited, while Al Nasr's performance is almost the same as the previous season. Therefore, it is clear that Al Nasr really needs other great players so that its performance can be better. De Bruyne would indeed be a very good complement to Al Nasr's midfield. Because as far as I know, currently Al Nasr's midfield can be said to be not very good. For this reason, no matter how good Al Nasr's attackers are, it will definitely be a little difficult to get a really good opportunity. Because Al Nasr's midfield was not good, so the flow of attacks launched by Al Nasr was not well organized. For this reason, if for example De Bruyne could really be brought in by Al Nasr, of course this would have a very good impact on Al Nasr. Apart from that, currently De Bruyne is suffering from a thigh muscle injury, and there is no news yet on when De Bruyne will recover from his injury. Maybe if, for example, in January De Bruyne has not yet recovered from his injury, it is likely that his move to Saudi Arabia will be delayed. So hopefully De Bruyne can recover as soon as possible, because of course it would be very interesting if, for example, De Bruyne could play on the same team as Ronaldo. And what is certain is that Al Nasr will definitely be able to compete more firmly in the SPL.

Well, initially I also thought like you there must be something that will happen why bookies favor Al Nassr even though they are playing away even though Al Shabab's current performance is not much different from Al Nassr who is now in the top 5 of the standings but as we know that the quality of Al Nassr players is better than Al Shabab, therefore bookies prefer Al Nassr to be the favorite but we also need to be careful when betting because maybe Al Shabab will give an unexpected surprise like when facing Al Taawon and Al Qadsyah they won the match even though with a narrow score.

Cristiano Ronaldo started a wave of star players from Europe to Saudi Arabia and this contributes to make Saudi Professional League more popular. Quality of the league is not improved too much because considerable financial investment is only for four biggest clubs while other clubs are falling behind in finance and player transfers. About marketing, it's good for their league but about quality, there is no big change and improvement so far.

Lately I read complains and warning from Roberto Mancini that Saudi Professional League with many star players from Europe, is destroying opportunities for Saudi Arabian players. It gradually affects quality of their national team Saudi Arabia and policy makers of the league need to change.

There are old and young players from Europe who are ready to join Saudi Professional League and they are playing well. It's not like they are playing in Saudi Arabia because they are no longer good enough to play in Europe.
