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.
All Nassr is in 5th place now, but they have the chance to return to 3rd place. Al Nassr is quite lucky because Al Ahli was defeated by Al Shabab. Al Nassr will play against Al Akhdoud, Al Nassr will be in 3rd place if they win the match. 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.
Currently the points difference is quite thin, only about one or two points. It is very unfortunate that Al Nassr, who was initially predicted to be able to finish in second place, actually towards the end of the season Al Nassr had to lose its consistency to be able to win, even their position had to be thrown to fifth place in the standings. However, with a thin points difference, and Al Nassr still has one match left compared to Al Qadisiyah and Al Ahli, it is very possible for Al Nassr to return to third place, with the note that Al Nassr managed to be 3 points ahead of Al-Okhdood, and to maintain that position, Al Nassr must be able to sweep all the remaining matches.
At least finishing in third place is the target that must be achieved by Al Nassr at the end of this season. They have failed in the Asian Champions League competition, and to try again next season, Al Nassr must finish in third place in order to get a ticket to the Champions League next season.
