Can Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr win Saudi Pro League title?
The league title of Saudi Pro League is going to be neck-to-neck with Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad vying for the title
With two matches left, Al Ittihad's cushion atop the Saudi Pro League table is down to three points, while Cristiano Ronaldo's second-place Al Nassr stays hopeful that their rivals will slip down.
But, with an advantageous schedule, Al Ittihad has a clean road to the title and just needs one win to capture it. Al Ittihad's odds of winning the title, are 5.26.
Al Ittihad will travel to 12th-place Al Feiha on May 27 before coming home against mid-table Al Ta'ee on May 31 in what could be a title-clinching homecoming match.
Al Nassr must prevail in both of their games and hope that Al Ittihad fails to advance to either of their last two. Meanwhile, Ronaldo led Al-Nassr's odds of winning their title by 8.51
Al Ittihad could claim the title if they won either competition, as a head-to-head decision would go towards them (0-0 draw on Oct. 2 and 1-0 win vs. Al Nassr on March 9).
Of Obviously, Al Nassr are in second place after dropping vital points in recent weeks with draws against two struggling teams and an expensive setback to Asian Champions League finalists Al Hilal.
The league winners will receive the lone accessible berth in the 2023-24 AFC Champions League. At the same time, the bottom three teams in the drop zone will be relegated to the First Division League, with Al Batin already set to go down. The other two demotion slots are up for grabs for Al-Khaleej and Al-Adalah.
Batin are already relegated, while, Al-Khaleej's chances of being demoted from the league are 2.59, and Al-Adalah's possibility of getting relegated are 3.15.
