Two matches have not proven anything because there are still many other crucial matches that Pioli needs to prove, but so far the two matches that have taken place at least he has given his best for the team. The match between Al Nassr and Al Hilal will be proof of how far Pioli is able to make changes in his team and victory will be something that is expected as a step to build a more solid team.
Correct. It is too early to conclude that Pioli succeeds to improve Al Nassr. But it is a good sign that Pioli can lead Al Nassr properly. Winning in 2 early matches is always crucial, it can boost the spirit and motivation of all players. I'm very sure Al Nassr players become more optimistic to play, they look more comfortable with Pioli's strategy.
If Pioli can win against Al Hilal, I no doubt that Al Nassr will return to the race of the champion. Now, they in the 5th place, the point gap with Al Hilal is quite large. It is difficult to overtake Al Hilal if Al Nassr fails to get full points again. But if Al Hilal can't get the points, it is the chance to shorten the point gap.
It will be quite an emotional match for both teams and very important because it is a matter of prestige. I think he needs to win the match if he wants to give something better to the team, especially for the title issue which is a priority for all teams.
The match will be held in Al Nassr home. Al Nassr must win the match for the prestige and for the chance of winning the trophy. A draw should be the target because it doesn't bring any good impact for Al Nassr. In this time, it is a must to beat Al Hilal if Al Nassr still has a dream to win SPL trophy.
