It's a big night in the Saudi Pro League as matchday 23 brings some exciting fixtures, headlined by table toppers Al-Hilal's home tie against star striker Karim Benzema's former employers Al-Ittihad. Just last month, Benzema completed his move to the Blue Waves after consistent reports of disagreements with the Ittihad management. The Frenchman netted a sensational hat-trick and provided an assist on his debut for Al-Hilal in a 6-0 win over Okhdood. Al-Hilal then overtook Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr, currently third, in the standings but there's only a point's difference between the two rivals. The Hilalis will also be wary of second placed Al-Ahli, who are level on points with them but remain below due to a poorer goal difference. Tonight, we will be three matchday 23 games simultaneously between - Al-Nassr Vs Al-Hazem, Al-Hilal Vs Al-Itthad and Al-Khaleej Vs Neom SC. Stay tuned and follow along for the real-time updates, live scores and more.
