It seems that Al-Hilal this season will really be a team to be afraid of in the Saudi Pro League. Because until now only Al-Hilal has not suffered defeat since the beginning of the season. And what surprised me was that Al-Hilal was able to beat Al-ittihad in the match 2 days ago. Benzema cs must submit to and accept their defeat. Even though both of them play very well. So I personally think a draw is more appropriate in this match. But it is still the final result that determines which team is superior. K. Koulibaly cs seems to be having a good day with AL-hilal.
Meanwhile, Al-Nassr is still struggling to cover their deficit due to 2 consecutive defeats in the first match. For now I am a fan of Al-Nassr. But honestly, I still see many gaps in some of the line-ups at Al-Nassr. As for Al-ittihad and Al-Hilal, I think they are getting more mature this season.
So far in their league they're the teams with the best signings in the transfer window, the got the right players and are benefiting from it that's why it's very good for team to bluster different sections of their team in the transfer window to prepare for a tournament ahead and not just signing anyhow but the rightful players into their team.
In the match against Al-ittihad I was so suprise with their comeback, they were losing 3-1 in the first half but managed to have a very good comeback in the second half to end the game with a 3-4 victory thanks to their new signing Mitrovic he had a hat-trick in the match, the Ballon D'or title holder scored a goal for his team but couldn't lead them to victory.
Al-Nassr are in a position where they're not expected to be due to the 2 loses they had and alot of people who are Cristiano Ronaldo's fan would be so disappointed because they're not in the top 4, but the league is still fresh and they have to do all they can to cover up for the points they've lost and meet up with their arch Rivals.
Well that's right the season has just started. And there are still a lot of games left. So I personally still remain optimistic that Al-Nassr will slowly rise to the top 4 and then compete with Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. And I don't want to belittle Al-Ettifaq either in this regard. Because when I see Al-Ettifaq playing, I always see this club as more and more like Liverpool. Because there are two former Liverpool captains in this club.
And I don't know whether everyone will agree with my following statement, namely that I feel the level of play in the Saudi Pro League is very close to the level of play in other European leagues. And I think next season the Saudi Pro League will be really similar to the European League in its excitement.
