Al Qadisiya were previously third and Al Nassr fourth, but now Al Nassr are back in the top three but their position is still not safe at all. Al Qadisiya is a promoted team and of course, with Al Qadisiya in the top four it's a surprise that occurred this season, a team like Al Qadisiya managed to compete with Al Nassr for third place, it's quite an interesting competition for me.

Because after all, Al Nassr with all its luxuries so far has still failed to win the trophy, plus at this moment Al Nassr actually competes with the promotion team Al Qadisiya which is not at all in their scenario. If Al Qadisiya is  still able to compete for third place with Al Nassr throughout this season, then I think it becomes a big question whether Al Nassr has a problem or indeed Al Qadisiya who has better performance  than Al Nassr, who knows.

The league has become very competitive and interesting since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo followed by several European players. The competition has been more intense and this season it’s even better than last season because not just the challenge for the title that is intense even the top four battle is very intense as well, the challenge for the highest goal scorer is also intense as well because a lot of players are now competing for the highest goal scorer and they all lead each other with one goal which makes everything very interesting.

Al Hilal have managed to take the lead despite being the same point with Al Ittihad, the fight will now be more interesting seeing both teams with same points. Al Nassr is also same points with Al Qadisiya which means the third place fight is also intense. We still have series of matches to witness and no one is sure who will end up winning the title or making top 4.

The second leg meeting between the two teams can be said to still have a time gap, the two teams will meet again in the 21st session later. For now, both Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are only focused on the matches they will face, getting full points is a mandatory result. If not, one of these teams will widen the points gap in the standings. By the way, it is very unfortunate that Al Ittihad drew when visiting Al Fayha's headquarters, as a result Al Hilal again overtook the position occupied by Al Ittihad. Even so, the competition is still very tight, especially since both teams have the same number of points. At the same time, one of the strong rivals in this competition is having difficulty competing for the trophy this season, Al Nassr is 9 points behind Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Although the Saudi League still has enough matches, unfortunately it is not easy for Ronaldo and his colleagues to narrow the points gap from the team above it. So for now the tight competition only applies to Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, both teams will try and work hard to achieve their targets.

So far, in the Saudi Arabian League, many people don't know which teams have players and teams that have reigned as champions every season. It's natural to feel that Al-Qadsiah is like a promotion team in the Saudi Arabian League. Actually, Al-Qadsiah has many European class players who will are Al Nassr's rivals in the current standings.
It was very impressive that the goal scored by Julián Quiñones made the team collect a lot of points, as did Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who performed extraordinary, making the Saudi Arabian League even tighter in the next match.

Al Hilal and Al Ittihad are both equal for now and the competition between the two will continue until the end of the season, in the fight for the SPL title this season I have forgotten Al Nassr as the favorite because in the competition Al Nassr got fairly large points difference.
Now what is awaited here is the meeting between Al Hilal vs Al Ittihad, actually they met some time ago in the King Cup and Al Hilal lost on penalties, I sure it can be much more interesting and can be very fierce in match between the two of them for later in February because in the SPL they will be much more enthusiastic.

Al-Qadsiah went under the radar and now they are at the 4th place in points table. They and Al Nassr have equal number of points, although the latter is ahead as a result of better goal difference. Al-Ahli, one of the teams sponsored by the Saudi Public Investment Fund is at the 5th position. So what went well for Al Qadsiah? So far they have won 9 out of 14 matches. Julián Quiñones of Mexico has been exceptional in the attack, scoring a total of 7 goals so far. And they are not overdependent on him. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been in good form as well. And also, local player Mohammed Aboulshamat has been one of their bright spots this season.

That's right, the impact of the draw that Al Ittihad got in the match against Al Feiha of course made Al Ittihad's points tally the same as Al Hilal. This is certainly not something that is beneficial for Al Ittihad, because as you said, just one loss or draw could be difficult for Al Ittihad to become champions in the Saudi Arabian league. Therefore, in the upcoming match, Al Ittihad must be able to win the match with any team. Because Al Hilal will definitely struggle to do the same thing. But for next week I am sure Al Ittihad can definitely win the match, because the team they will be playing against is Al Raed. If you look at Al Raed's current performance, you could say it's not doing well. Because of the last five matches, Al Raed was only able to win 1 match, and the other 4 matches ended in defeat.

So with this, I think Al Raed will be an easy opponent for Al Ittihad. Therefore, Al Ittihad can definitely get the full 3 points next week. Apart from that, next week Al Hilal will also have a fairly easy opponent, namely Al Fateh. So it is certain that Al Hilal will also get the full 3 points in the coming week. Therefore, perhaps in the coming week positions 1 and 2 in the Saudi Arabian league will not change at all.  So with this, Al Hilal's competition with Al Ittihad will definitely lead to goal productivity. Because currently this is the only thing that makes Al Hilal superior to Al Ittihad.

Al Ittihad and Al Hilal currently have the same points tally in the Saudi Arabian league, namely 37 points. I think this is clear evidence that the current performance of the two teams can be said to be very balanced. Because in the quarter-final match of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal really looked equally strong. Because the match had to end in a penalty shootout. So with this, it can be said that the performance of Al Ittihad and Al Hilal this season is very balanced. So the competition between the two teams will really be very tight this season. Therefore, the consistency of performance and results of each match that will be obtained by Al Ittihad and Al Hilal will greatly determine their position in the Saudi Arabian league.

Apart from that, the Al Ittihad match against Al Hilal which will take place in Week 21 will indeed be the most exciting match of this season. I personally will definitely not miss this match. But to be honest, I personally am very confused about which team to bet on in this match. Because the performance of these two teams is really very balanced at the moment. Maybe I'll just do BTTS in this match. Because in this match there will most likely be at least 2 goals scored. That's why I will just do BTTS in this match. So what about all of you, will you bet on Al Hilal or Al Ittihad in this match.

Yes this season of Saudi Pro League seems to be very exciting compared to other seasons even in this season every team is trying to perform well in every match by working very hard. Especially Al Hilal and Al Ittihad these two teams are always trying to be number one in the points table. The stats of these two teams are same at present i.e. According to Saudi Pro League point table position, Al Hilal has won 12 matches, Al Ittihad have also won 12 matches like Al Hilal. On the other hand, Al Hilal have been defeated in just one match so far and Al Ittihad have also been defeated in one match. There are two other teams with the same points.

Basically the Saudi pro league this season looks very exciting and also fun, it looks like the players from each club are doing everything possible to beat each other to try to catch up on points and we can see Al Hilal is at the top of the standings with 37 points, the same number of points obtained by Al Ittihad, plus no less exciting there is Al nassr who is in third position and Al Qadisiyah who is in fourth position also has the same points of 28 points. I will enjoy the remaining matches that are still quite long.

Al Hilal is not as perfect as last year. They seem to be more susceptible to defeat this year compared to last year. Al Ittihad is in second place in the league and this match is very important for them. It is also important for Al Hilal because whoever wins this match will push their opponent back. It will be one of the most exciting matches in the Saudi Arabia Pro League. The championship is currently going back and forth between these two teams. This match is perhaps one of the matches that can untie the championship knot.

Nobody knows about the results of their matches before their meeting in week 21 because there are usually unexpected surprises, but if they remain consistent in winning until they meet then their meeting will determine who deserves to be at the top of the standings I think Al Ittihad is slightly advantaged because they will play as the home team and it is possible that Al Ittihad will beat Al Hilal's troops because as we know the troops of both teams look balanced so I hope Al Ittihad can beat Al Hilal so that they have the opportunity to win the title this season.

Saudi clubs have succeeded in bringing in many prominent players and many more will come. Some think of their fame and fortune, some because of money. Some also dream of playing in this league. Except few most of the players don't want to miss the opportunity to get such a large amount. With Ronaldo and some other prominent players playing in Saudi clubs, people's interest in the country's league knows no bounds. There are still many young players who have not come to this club. If Saudi is able to bring them, then this league can become more popular. Ronaldo's time extension is a positive aspect for the entire league. Who has great popularity around the world. If it is possible to bring some more young players to the team in the future, the competition with the teams will increase even more. Especially for the Al Nassr team, some more talented players are needed who will be able to make the team a big opponent of big rivals. This season, Al Nassr belongs to nine points behind first-placed Al Hilal and the same distance behind Al Ittihad, and they will need to gain more strength to move forward. If Al Nassr can win the league with Ronaldo at their disposal, the club can earn widespread praise from all levels.

Apart from Ronaldo and few others i think most of the players who switched over to the Saudi league went their cause to the huge money the Saudi clubs offer, they know they stand a lot to gain whether they perform well or not, although it's not doubt that ever since several players switched from different European leagues to the Saudi Pro League, a lot has changed, it's made the competition in the league very tough and more clubs are beginning to banter for supremacy asides Al Hilal and Al Nassr that's the two most popular teams in the league. Al Nassr would need for quality players to further strengthen their team if they really want to win the trophy cause they have other strong contenders with quality players across Europe too. Anyways, i love that they're on the verge of extending Ronaldo's contract till 2026, his presence is highly needed as a motivation to his teammates during training and match days.

Yep. It is football, a team can't win the match if it only relies on a single player. All the players must have a good teamwork to win the match. Even sometimes certain players can give bigger contribution over other players, but it still requires the teamwork or compactness of all the players in the field. Ronaldo has proven that he can't win SPL trophy himself. Even if he is the best player in the world, he can't win the trophy without a good teamwork from all Al Nassr players. He can score many goals, but Al Nassr still can get bad results if there are too many conceded goals.

True. Al Nassr midfield line and defense line aren't quite strong. That's why they are easy conceded goals, especially when they are against strong teams. To win the trophy, Al Nassr must deal with this problem first. They need few stronger players to strengthen these lines. However it won't be easy because it requires a lot of money.

Even they sign few big players, it seems very difficult to catch Al Hilal and Al Ittihad. Al Nassr missed too many points, I think Al Nassr will finish in the 3rd place only for this season.

I'm still hopeful for other oppositions to track down Al Hilal that happens to be the best competitive team in the league. They will do their best to meet points with the very best team. The Fierce competition is among tough oppositions. We fully understand how these teams because they've targets to win titles. Al Hilal and Al Nassr have been in good shape this season, none of these teams are relenting and giving up is never an option for them. The SPL title race is competitive and have become a regular space for elite teams. We know how difficult it's been for most of these elite teams to reach the very top. Significant pressure is applied for teams that are ambitious for accomplishment.

Hmm, maybe what is meant is winning the Saudi professional league, not the English Premier League, because Al Nassr does not play in the English league.

With the arrival of CR7 to the Arab league, it does provide its own appeal that makes this league even better and increasingly eyed by the world. And even in an instant this league became the best league in Asia. In addition, Arab clubs also offer quite high salaries, and this is the main thing that makes many top European players choose to move to the Arab league.

With many quality players moving to the Arab league, of course this makes the competition even tighter, and even for Al Nassr themselves, after the arrival of CR7 and other quality players, they still have not been able to win the title.

It is possible that before the two teams face each other in week 21, they will both stumble and lose points. However, it is possible that the competition map will take place as you said, and basically Al Hilal is indeed more reliable in the competition for the trophy. In fact, we can hope that this fierce competition can continue until the end of the season, making the Saudi Pro League look more competitive than the previous season. Al Hilal and Al Ittihad may continue to exchange positions, but it is certain that they will not get significant pressure from other teams below them.

Football is not about individuals but about teams because football is played by 11 players who all have to be compact and play well. In addition, both coaches and players must be at a good level. Even if one person plays well but if the others are mediocre they will not be champions. But kudos to Ronaldo, he plays in various clubs and countries but remains productive in scoring goals and age is not a problem for him.

So, actually the problem with Al Nassr from season to season so that it is difficult to get a trophy because the problem is that Al Nassr's back line and midfield are lacking in strength. Because it's useless if they score goals if they are easy to concede, because the result will be a draw and lose. So far Al Nassr with 14 matches in the SPL they have only managed to get 8 wins. 4 draws, 2 draws and managed to get 28 points. This is very different from Al Hilal and Ittihad who have balanced squads so that currently both are competing tightly because they have collected 37 points, both teams have only lost once, drawn once and won 12 times.

Al Nassr's chances are still there to be champions this season, but it's tough, they have to shop for defenders and midfielders to close the gap that has been Al Nassr's weakness. If this gap is closed, it is likely that Nassr can play consistently so that they can reduce the points gap with the first and second ranks.

Mmmm yes and no at the same time, more than grown i can say it have more lights seeing on them, and some other players follow thei way but no so much for Cristiano Ronaldo, more for the route of money.

Competition remains the same for me, with a few good teams full of starts and other being a pure stuffed.
