Five clubs set themselves apart with standout stats after 12 rounds of Roshn League

Five clubs competing in the 2026-27 Saudi Pro League, known as the Roshn League, have distinguished themselves with impressive statistics and achievements that set them apart: Al-Qadsiah, Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ahli, and Neom.

Al-Qadsiah, for example, has won all six of its away matches so far, most recently defeating Riyadh 6-0 in Round 12. This remarkable away record is one of the highlights of the season after the first 12 rounds.

Al-Qadsiah’s success is built on strong possession and playmaking, leading the league with 6,359 passes at an accuracy rate of 87.3%. The club is also in a fierce battle with Al-Hilal for the title of top scorers. Al-Qadsiah has netted 19 goals away from home while conceding just once (+18 goal difference), and has scored 32 goals overall in 12 matches—matching Al-Hilal’s total, though Al-Hilal has played only 11 games. Both teams are on pace to challenge the single-season scoring record of 101 goals, set by Al-Hilal in 2023-24.

Al-Hilal currently leads the league with 30 points and boasts the most dominant and creative squad. The team has won all 10 matches in which it scored first, a 100% success rate. Alongside Al-Qadsiah, Al-Ittihad, Al-Hazm, and Al-Shabab, Al-Hilal has taken the lead in more than six matches, securing a perfect 30 points from 30 available. Al-Hilal also has the league’s best defense, conceding only nine goals, and has kept six clean sheets. The team leads in overall passing accuracy at 87.4%, with 84.5% accuracy in the opposition half and 79% in the attacking third.

Al-Nassr stands out as the league’s best at earning points from losing positions, collecting 10 points from five matches in which it trailed (winning three and drawing one). Al-Nassr has faced the fewest shots (100) and has won all six of its home matches, earning a perfect 18 points at home.

Al-Ahli, while less successful away, has excelled at home with the best goal difference on its own ground (+14). The club leads in shooting accuracy at 55.5% and in converting shots to goals at 17.1%. More than half of Al-Ahli’s attacking efforts are on target, with 71 threats on goal from 128 direct shots not blocked by defenders.

Neom has emerged as one of the season’s standout teams, showing impressive organization and resilience in its second Roshn League campaign. After 12 rounds, Neom has earned the title of “dark horse,” sitting fifth with 22 points. The club has the league’s second-best defense after Al-Hilal, conceding only 10 goals—better than Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad, who have each allowed 11. Neom has kept four clean sheets and won all six matches in which it scored first, including a notable away victory over Al-Hilal in Riyadh.

Finally, this round set a new record for goals scored in a single matchweek in the Saudi Pro League, with 41 goals—one more than the previous record set in Round 5 of last season.
