Saudi League Outright Odds 2023/24
Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr in December 2022 marked the start of an arms race in the Saudi League. Since that transfer, the estimated value of all players in the league has risen from €334 million to €1 billion, according to Transfermarkt. These changes have not only had an impact on viewers' interest in the league, but also on the overall balance of power in the championship.
As for Saudi League winner odds 2023/24, you can pick the team that will win the tournament. After 13 rounds, the list of the favourites is as follows:
| Saudi League Contenders | Bet365 Odds |
|---|---|
| Al-Hilal | 1.28 |
| Al-Nassr | 3.50 |
| Al-Ittihad | 26.00 |
| Al-Ahli | 41.00 |
| Al-Fateh | 1001.00 |
| Al-Ettifaq | 1001.00 |
| Al-Shabab | 1001.00 |
| Al-Taawoun | 1001.00 |
| Damac | 1001.00 |
| Al-Fayha | 2001.00 |
Of all the Saudi League favourites, Al-Hilal appears to be the one that bookmakers back the most. Unlike many of their rivals in the tournament, the club's management has been rational in their approach to transfers. Al-Hilal has at least one world-class player in every position: Yassine Bounou (a former goalkeeper for Sevilla and a semi-finalist at the 2022 World Cup), Kalidou Koulibaly (the winner of the 2018/19 Serie A Best Defender award), Malcom (the 2018/19 La Liga champion with Barcelona) and Aleksandar Mitrović (with over 100 goals in the English Premier League).
It's also worth noting the hiring of head coach Jorge Jesus, who previously managed a club in Saudi Arabia and several top teams in Europe and South America (Benfica, Fenerbahçe, Flamengo). Al-Hilal is currently sitting on top of the table, with no losses and just eight goals conceded in 13 rounds of the competition.

The 2023/24 Saudi League will be the 48th season in the competition's history. Seven clubs have been crowned champions in the competition's history. Saudi Arabia's most successful team is Al-Hilal with 18 trophies. Al-Ittihad, the reigning Saudi League champions, and Al-Nassr, the last winners in 2018/19, are in second place with nine wins each.

Past Saudi League Top Goal Scorers
The title of top scorer in the Saudi League is currently held by Abderrazak Hamdallah. The Moroccan player has already won the award twice in the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons. His 34-goal record in the 2018/19 season remains the league record.
The tournament's all-time top scorer at the start of the 2023/24 season is Majed Abdullah. The forward scored 189 goals in 194 appearances for Al Nassr throughout his entire career (1977-1998).
