Al Nassr's ranking in the points table is not very good. In fact, it is not good at all. They set out with the slogan of championship every year, but they fall behind on the way. This year, they are in fourth place so far. Ittihad is taking the championship this year. No team has come close to them right now. They are getting a comfortable championship. Al Nassr, on the other hand, is continuing to fight, but they are far from the championship.
Compare to last season I don't think it's good or is it that other teams have gotten better making the competition more interesting and more difficult for Al Nassr. They are currently at 5th position now but if they win their match they will go back to 3rd place. I hope they win it because it won't be nice if Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr dont make top 4. The fight for the 3rd spot is very intense and tight as Al Nassr, Al Ahli and Al Qadisiya are all doing everything they can to qualify for AFC champions league with only one spot left to fill. Let's see which team will successfully qualify.
I think Al Nassr will be safe to stay in 3rd place because they only have few remaining matches against weak teams. Regarding the chance to win SPL trophy, Al Nassr is impossible to compete for it. Yes, they always expect to win it in every season but they still can't win it. Even in AFC champions league, Al Nassr also missed to the chance to win it this season. They must try again in the next season with a stronger squad.
About the third spot it's not safe yet but they have an advantage because they have matches left with smaller teams and they will be a point ahead of Al Ahli and Al Qadisiya so if they can win all games they can qualify. As for the title they have lost already all they can do now is improve their squad and try again next season.
