Al-Nassr – the shape of the team and its analysis: the performance is good, but not the best
“The Knights of Nejd” demonstrate the statistics of the grandee. At the same time, it lost to Al-Hilal in the Super Cup, and to Al Ain from the UAE in the Asian Champions League. Speaking about the championship, the club fell hopelessly behind Jorge Jesus’s team (but confidently ahead of third-placed Al-Ahly). All that remains is to finish the rest of the matches and hope for revenge in the cup – the team will play with “the Leaders” in the final. In the meantime, thanks to Brozovic’s double and another goal from Ronaldo, it put the squeeze on Al-Okhdood by the final 3-2 score.
Al-Hilal – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club is head and shoulders above all others at the national level
“The Leaders” brilliantly lived up to their nickname and showed significant progress compared to the previous season, finishing in 3rd place. Jorge Jesus’s wards beat Ronaldo and the company in the Super Cup and lost almost no points in the championship – it happened only due to 2 draws. As for the previous round, Al-Hazem was defeated with a 4-1 score. And only Al-Ain, having overcome Al-Nassr in the quarter-finals, dealt with the football leader of Saudi Arabia in the next round – the club, performing on the native field, was unable to compensate for the 2-4 loss in the UAE.
