Finally Al Nassr is back as the table toppers. But there is not much difference between the top-3 teams. With 12 more matches remaining for each club, Al Nassr has 55 points compared to 54 for Al Hilal. Al Ahli has 53 points. Al Qadisiyah is a distant fourth with 50 points. Since the gap is very narrow, we can expect the positions to change in the coming days and weeks. One advantage for Al Nassr is that they will play against weak teams such as Al Najma and Al Feiha next, while Al Hilal will play against two relatively stronger teams: Al Taawoun and Al Shabab.

Cristiano scored two against Al Hazem. Al Nassr won 4-0. They topped the table because Al Hilal and Al Ittihad match was 1-1. Al Hilal and Al Ahli must try replacing Al Nassr but Al Nassr can win the SPL if Cristiano plays every match.
