Several clubs in the Saudi League are now much stronger than other clubs, two notable clubs being Al-Nassr and Al Hilal. We have no doubts about these two clubs in terms of strength. Al-Nassr, Al Hilal are undoubtedly two very strong clubs but although Al Hilal has started well this season, Al-Nassr has yet to start well. Al Hilal is currently at the number one position in the points table but Al-Nassr is still at the number six position in the points table which means there are five teams above Al-Nassr so far. We always expect good performances from Al-Nassr as the team has world class stars who have conquered Europe once so it is natural that the expectations will be high from them.
What about Al Ahli? They have good players like Roger Ibañez, Édouard Mendy and Franck Kessié. And don't forget Al-Ittihad. Once Karim Benzema starts playing for them regularly, they are going to be a tough side for other clubs to handle. These two sides may not have big names as they do in Al Hilal and Al Nassr, but I am sure that both of them have a good chance of finishing at the top of this season's Saudi Professional League. BTW, despite the presence of so many superstars, both Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal couldn't finish at the top last year.
