I don’t see any competition because Al Nassr still didn’t solve the problem they had last season campaign, they concede a lot and to challenge Al Hilal you need to at least reduce your conceding rate by improving their defensive line. There is still a little time to strengthen their defense before the transfer deadline.
it is true that Al Nassr has no problem scoring goals, but on the contrary, their defense is quite weak. last season we saw that the number of goals scored by Al Nassr and Al Hilal was not much different. but Al Nassr conceded quite a lot.
if Al Nassr wants to compete for the trophy this season, they should have evaluated last season. and now they have to do better. not only focus on collecting points, but they could also lose by goal difference. and that would be very painful for them.
