The Saudi Pro League table is taking shape with Al Nassr setting the pace at the top, but the title race is far from a one-horse run as Al Hilal and Al Ahli continue to keep the pressure on. For South African football fans following the Saudi Pro League standings, the numbers tell a story of a competition that has delivered goals, surprise gaps and plenty of movement across the division.
At this stage of the campaign, Al Nassr sit first after 29 matches, with 25 wins, 1 draw and just 3 defeats. They have scored a remarkable 79 goals and conceded only 21, leaving them with a goal difference of 58 and 76 points. That sort of return underlines why they have been the benchmark in the league, combining firepower with a defence that has been difficult to break down.
Close behind are Al Hilal, who remain unbeaten after 28 games. Their record of 20 wins and 8 draws has carried them to 68 points, and they have scored 75 goals while shipping 25. In a league table packed with attacking talent, that unbeaten run is still one of the standout stories. Even so, the six-point gap to Al Nassr means they cannot afford any slip-up in the run-in.
Al Ahli are also firmly in the mix, sitting third with 66 points from 28 matches. They have won 20, drawn 6 and lost 2, while scoring 55 and conceding 20. That gives them a healthy goal difference of 35, and it shows a side that has been both disciplined and efficient. In many seasons, those numbers would have been enough to lead the league. This year, though, the top two have been relentless.
Further down the Saudi Pro League standings, Al Qadsiah have emerged as one of the more eye-catching sides, collecting 62 points from 29 games. With 18 wins, 8 draws and only 3 losses, they are proving they can compete with the division’s traditional heavyweights. Their 67 goals scored also suggests a team that can hurt opponents in open play, even if they have conceded 31.
Al Taawoun are holding fifth place with 49 points, and they have been one of the more balanced teams outside the top four. After 29 matches, they have won 14, drawn 7 and lost 8, with 52 goals for and 38 against. That goal difference of 14 reflects a side that has stayed competitive, even if the gap to the teams above is beginning to widen.
One place lower, Al Ittihad are sitting sixth on 45 points from 28 matches. Their campaign has been mixed, with 13 wins, 6 draws and 9 defeats. They have scored 45 and conceded 38, leaving them with a modest goal difference of 7. For a club of their stature, that is not the kind of return their supporters would have expected, and it leaves them with work to do if they want to climb higher.
Saudi Pro League standings show a fierce battle for places beyond the top three
The mid-table picture is just as revealing. Al Ettifaq are seventh with 42 points, having played 29, while NEOM follow in eighth on 39 points. Both sides have had uneven seasons, but they remain clear of the drop zone and are still within touching distance of the teams above them if results swing their way.
Al Hazem are ninth with 37 points, one ahead of Al Fayha on 34. Then come Al Shabab and Al Fateh, both on 32 points, though Shabab have the edge on goal difference and have drawn 11 matches compared with Fateh’s 8. In a league where fine margins matter, those draws have been the difference between a comfortable position and a more stressful one.
Al Khaleej are 13th with 31 points, only a point ahead of Al Kholood on 29. That part of the table remains tight, with every fixture carrying added weight. A couple of wins can change the picture quickly, but a bad run can drag a team closer to danger just as fast.
At the lower end, Damac sit 15th on 26 points, while Al Riyadh are 16th with 23 points. Al Okhdood are 17th on 16 points, and Al Najma are rooted to the bottom with just 11 points after 29 games. Their record of 2 wins, 5 draws and 22 defeats tells a brutal story, and their goal difference of -41 shows how difficult this season has been.
Across the division, the numbers point to a league that is sharply divided between the title challengers, the competitive middle pack and the teams battling to avoid a disastrous finish. Al Nassr’s 76 points, Al Hilal’s unbeaten run, and Al Ahli’s consistency have created a front three that continue to dominate the headlines, but the fight for positions from fourth down to the basement is still alive in every corner of the table.
For readers keeping tabs on the Saudi Pro League standings, the most striking takeaway is how much quality there is at the top and how unforgiving the competition has become underneath it. As we reported earlier, the table is not just about the leaders — it is also about the clubs trying to salvage pride, push for continental spots, or simply stay afloat. With matches still to come, there is plenty left to play for, and the next round could shift the picture again.
