Saudi League Predictions

After an exciting 2023-24 season, the Roshn Saudi League is ready for more drama in the 2024-25 campaign. Other teams will try to stop Al Hilal from winning the title again.

Who can challenge Al Hilal? Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr came close last season and will try to do better this year. The new season starts on August 22, and many interesting stories are unfolding.

Ranked as the No.1 league in Asia by the Asian Football Confederation, here’s what makes the RSL special and why you should watch.

Challenging Al Hilal Al Hilal had an unbeaten season last year, winning all 34 games. Ronaldo’s Al Nassr kept up early but fell behind later. Can Al Hilal keep winning? Teams are eager to beat them and take their title.

Ronaldo Breaking Records Cristiano Ronaldo, at 39 years old, scored a record 35 goals last season. He now has 49 goals in 47 RSL games since joining Al Nassr in January 2023. Ronaldo wants to win more trophies for his team and himself.

Young Talent Young stars always bring excitement. Last season, 16-year-old Talal Haji from Al Ittihad became the youngest player and scorer in RSL history. More young players are ready to shine this season.

Al Ittihad's Comeback Al Ittihad finished fifth last season but aims to do better with new players like Moussa Diaby and Houssem Aouar and a new manager, Laurent Blanc. Can they challenge for the title again?

New Team: Al Qadsiah Al Qadsiah, promoted from the First Division League, has new international stars like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Nacho. They want to make a strong impression in the RSL.

Passionate Fans Last season saw nearly 2.5 million fans attend games, creating an amazing atmosphere. With new teams and more excitement, fan support will be spectacular again.

Top Managers The RSL attracts top managers too. Laurent Blanc joins Al Ittihad, while Sabri Lamouchi is at Al Riyadh, and Rodolfo Arruabarrena is with Al Taawoun. They join other famous managers, making the tactical battles interesting.

Golden Boot Race The competition to be the top scorer is fierce. Ronaldo will be challenged by players like Abderrazak Hamdallah, Karim Benzema, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Who will be the top scorer this season?

Chasing Pack The "Big Four" teams (Al Hilal, Al Nassr, Al Ittihad, and Al Ahli) usually dominate, but Al Taawoun showed others can break through. Which team will surprise everyone this season?

Exciting Derbies Derby matches are always special. The Riyadh Derby between Al Hilal and Al Nassr and the Jeddah Derby between Al Ittihad and Al Ahli are must-watch games. The Eastern Derby between Al Ettifaq and Al Qadsiah is also back. This season, all three derbies will happen in Matchweek 9’s “Magic Round.”

Get ready for another thrilling RSL season starting on August 22!
