Competitive race for the SPL title this season would be entertaining for everyone, especially the supporters. Al Nassr are strong enough but consider them on the other hand, they need to make crucial upgrades for better chances of winnings, not in league games but in finals against Al Hilal. Al Nassr have problem and fixing them should be their priority. Remember every club have their weaknesses and Al Nassr own is opened to their pre-eminent rival, clearly referring to Al Hilal. The Knights of Najd have huge problem and dealing them will definitely take time.
Al Nassr is still very easy to concede, there has been no significant improvement in the back line. Last season their weakness was also in the back line and this season is the same. We can see how Al Nassr's defense line is very bad after being defeated by Al Hilal 4-1 in the Saudi Super Cup Final and getting a draw in the first match in the league against Al Raed with a score of 1-1.
So I think Al Nassr should buy some more players for the defense in the back line, because without a solid defense they will not be able to compete with Al Hilal in the fight for the league trophy. Even though they have sharp attackers and can score many goals if their defense line is easily penetrated by opponents it is also in vain. This is what Al Nassr must fix in the near future, even though Al Nassr is currently two points behind Al Hilal but it is not too late to fix it because the league is still very long.
