Several marquee matchups in the Saudi Pro League are set to give fans around the world high-octane and cutthroat football matches.
We will witness how the top-seeded Al-Hilal squad progresses without their star forward, Neymar Jr. Aleksandar Mitrovic is poised to handle more responsibility in the club’s already potent offense, while captain Salman Al-Faraj will be the tip of the spear for the entire team.
Al-Ittihad have a great opportunity to regain their dominance when they host Al-Hazm, who have been struggling all season but were able to garner their first win last week.
CR7’s and the rest of Al-Nassr will make the trip to AL Majma’ah Sports City to face off against a steady Al Feiha squad who have been consistent all throughout the season. Al-Nassr aim to climb higher in the league table and claim the second or first spot.
Al Feiha vs Al-Nassr

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr surgically exposed a struggling Damac squad at the King Saud University Stadium. The match was surprisingly closer than most expected. Damac was in it for most of the match and even scored the opening goal.
N’Koudou broke away from a pack of defenders and slotted a strike past Ospina Ramirez to give the visiting squad the lead right before halftime. Al-Nassr were not troubled at all, it seemed, as they quickly went on the attack to start the second half.
Ronaldo found the back of the net when he headed a beautiful ball with so much power and tenacity. It would’ve tied the game at one goal each, but the referee immediately called an offside. But Al-Nassr kept on the attack with masterful free kicks from Talisca and Ronaldo that both found the back of the net—the most beautiful Saudi Pro League 2023 highlights, in my opinion. The home team won the game with a score line of 2-1.
Al-Nassr have been unstoppable for the past five league games. They have won four of their last five contests in the Saudi Pro League, and they aim to keep the momentum going when they visit Al Majma’ah Sports City to face off against a steady Al Feiha squad.
Al Feiha are slowly getting their feet under them as the season progresses. They have just lost one of their last five league matches, and they’re coming off a 1-2 victory against Al Akhdoud.
Henry Onyekuru and the rest of Al Feiha will host the blazing Al-Nassr in hopes of trying to contain CR7 and the rest of the visiting squad, but it would be a tall order for the home side. As the Saudi Pro League 2023 betting odds suggest, Al-Nassr is the heavy favourite to win the contest.
Betting tip – 1X2 Al-Nassr Riyadh @ 1.41
Al-Ittihad vs Al-Hazm
After a successful outing in the AFC Champions League, Al-Ittihad will be focusing on their Saudi League Pro matchup against a struggling Al-Hazm squad at King Abdullah Sport City on Friday. Even though the stacked club Jeddah is producing favourable results in the AFC Champions League, they’ve been a little shaky in the Saudi Pro League.
In their last five league games, Al-Ittihad have only won twice. They seem to be doing just fine against teams at the bottom of the league table, but they struggle to garner points against elite clubs in the upper half of the table.
Benzema and his team are coming off a 1-1 draw against the second-seeded Al-Taawoun, after falling to the hands of Al-Ahli Saudi at home. But even though Al-Ittihad are stuggling to find consistency, SBOTOP still has them as the clear favourites to win the match at 1.17.
They will try to fend off a humble Al-Hazm squad, who are currently second to last in the league table. Nothing is going right for the boys from Ar Rass, but they did garner their first win of the season last week against Al-Raed.
That win could definitely be a good launch pad for Antonio Carvalho and the rest of his team as they try to climb the Saudi Pro League table, but it would be a demanding task for any club to get an away victory against Al-Ittihad.
It would be interesting to see what a spirited Al-Hazm team do against an underperforming giant in Al-Ittihad.
Betting tip – 1X2 Al-Ittihad Jeddah @ 1.17

Al-Hilal vs Al-Ahli Saudi
Al-Hilal have been destroying their competition left and right, and we should expect the same as they host Al-Ahli Saudi Arabia on Saturday. As the only unbeaten club in the Saudi Pro League, Aleksandar Mitrovic and the rest of the team are boastfully dominating the competition. They are currently the top seed in the league table.
They are coming off a demolition job against a helpless Mumbai City in the AFC Champions League. Mitrovic unforgivingly scored a hat trick, while Sergej Milinković-Savić, Mohammed Al Buray, and Abdulelah Al Malki each scored a goal en route to a 6-0 victory.
The 2021-22 Saudi Pro League Champions will continue their campaigns without their superstar signing Neymar Jr. The Brazilian prodigy tore his ACL during a World Cup Qualifying loss to Uruguay. The 31-year-old will undergo surgery and will be sidelined for at least eight months.
With that being said, Al-Hilal will be relying on their other star signings, such as Aleksandar Mitrovic and Salman Al-Faraj, to carry the offensive load for the team. If their convincing victory over Mumbai City is a benchmark of what’s to come for Al-Hilal, then they should be more than fine even without Neymar Jr.
Betting tip – Al-Hilal Riyadh Asian Handicap -1.00 @ 1.88
