Al Hilal will most likely lock up the SPL trophy this season, and take it home to their glass cupboard. The remaining matches of the second half of the season are 14, where Al Nassr is still 7 points behind Al Hilal. It is very likely that Al Nassr will only be able to finish in runner-up position like last season, which means that in my opinion their priority scale will change. By remaining consistent in the SPL, AL Nassr will also try their best in the Asian Champions League, to end the season with one of the prestigious trophies.
Although the remaining matches are only 14 matches, we can't judge Al Nassr to have no chance winning SPL. I think Al Nassr still has the chance to win it, but they must keep their consistency winning the remaining matches, including against Al Hilal in matchday 32. They also must expect the miracle that Al Hilal will fail to win in few matches. Sure, it sounds a bit difficult to happen but I think it is still not impossible.
Be the champion in Asian Champions League will be a great achievement if Al Nassr really can make it happens. For SPL, it is surely a bit disappointed to finish as a runner up, but it is not a very bad result for Al Nassr. They can try again to win SPL in the next season. I am sure Al Nassr already has a plan for the next season.
On the other hand, defending champions Al Ittihad seem to be having a very bad season, where they have fallen quite far from their proper position, if you look at the depth of the squad they have built and the budget they have spent. However, Al Ittihad can also maximize its efforts in the Asian Champions League, overall the SPL representatives are the favorite team there.
Al Ittihad played very badly this season. I don't know what's happening with them. But they looks weaker after they signed Benzema. It is getting worse because Benzema also can't contribute a lot because they often gets injury.
