The Saudi Pro League is set for an entertaining final two months as the race for the league title is wide open with nine matches left to play.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his Al Nassr side are just one point behind current leaders Al Ittihad. The upcoming midweek slate of matches will see Al Ittihad with the tougher match against mid-table Damac, while Al Nassr travel to take on relegation candidate Al Adalah.
Only this season’s Saudi Pro League champions are guaranteed a spot in Asia’s 2023/24 AFC Champions League.
Saudi Arabia’s other two Champions League group stage berths go to last season’s league champion (Al Hilal) and the 2022/23 King Cup winner to be determined in May. A Champions League qualifying spot has already been assigned to last season’s 2021/22 King Cup winner (Al Feyha).
In the relegation zone, the bottom three sides will drop down to the First Division League, with Al Batin on the brink of falling through the trap door after winning just two games in 2022/23. Al Khaleej and Al Adalah are also struggling to avoid dropping right back down after just earning promotion from the second division last season.
The Sporting News will track the 2022/23 Saudi Pro League standings below with just nine matchdays remaining in the season, which comes to a close on May 31.
