Anxieties for Europe against the big debtor

Sutjeska's wish before the start of the second part of the season was to win second place and go to Europe. There are four rounds left until the end of the championship, and Miljan Radović's team is exactly in the position they want - they have 51 points, one more than the third-placed Dečić, whom they will meet today in Nikšić (19 p.m.) in the derby of the 33rd round of Telekom 1. CFL.

With a possible victory, the people of Nikšić would consolidate their position in second place and mathematically secure their place in the qualifications for the premiere edition of the League of Conferences.

It is similar, however, with Dečić - Edis Mulalić's boys made a historic success by reaching the final of the Cup, they can reach Europe both through the championship and through the most massive competition...

By the way, Tuzan are big debtors to Nikšić - they eliminated them from the Cup, defeated them once in the championship, with two draws.

- An important match for us. Dečić is a solid team, as the results showed. I hope that we will beat them and secure a place in Europe, which was not our goal at the beginning of the season. We were going for the title, but due to circumstances we will have to settle for going to Europe - said Sutjeska's captain, goalkeeper Vladan Giljen, who will stand in goal for Nikšić for the 301st time today.

Vladan Giljen stood in Sutjeska's goal 300 times. Today, against Dečić, he will play his 301st game in a blue jersey. He grew up near Bistrica, made his debut for the first team in 2007, in 2010 he went to Portuguese National, and in 2016 he returned to Sutjeska. Since then, he has won two titles and one Cup trophy

- Surely 300 games is not a little. I did a part of the matches before I left Sutjeska. I came back five and a half years ago and played the rest of the matches. I hope to play as many games as possible - said Giljen about the beautiful anniversary.

- We welcome Dečić in a good atmosphere, because we are close to qualifying for Europe, which is very important for this club - both for the fans and for all of us - says Sutjeska coach Miljan Radović.

The future awaits Rudar (18 p.m.), and as the champion completed the most important task of May on Wednesday - qualifying for the Cup final, coach Mladen Milinković is expected to return to the practice he had before the match with Zeta - he will get as many chances as possible. a larger number of young football players.

Seventeen-year-old midfielder Aleksa Ćetković has already played nine league games for the Blues, he was also an actor in the first semi-final match of the Cup with Zeta, and against Rudar he should continue something that can already be called continuity...

- Again, one of us younger ones will get a chance and of course we are motivated to play for the first team of Buducnosti. We want to get three new points and prove ourselves, and the first league games mean a lot to us in terms of experience. I hope we will achieve a good result - says the guy who is still a cadet, but plays for the youth and senior team of Budućnost.

- The difference is big, because first league football is much faster and crueler. He doesn't tolerate many mistakes and plays a lot more aggressively. Slowly, all of us younger people are getting used to it - said Ćetković for the club's website.

Rudar still has a chance to take the 4th position and qualify for Europe, so he will be motivated under Gorica, even though he is in a bad series - only one win in the last nine games, with three losses.

The people of Pljevlja, however, come to play relieved.

- I like these kinds of matches, for two reasons. The first is that you have the best players in the league against you, and the second is that you play without pressure - says Rudar defender Nemanja Kartal for the PV portal.

Podgorica welcomes Zeta at the "DG Arena" and with a victory, they would take a big step towards 4th place - that position will bring placement in Europe if Budućnost wins the Cup.

Very important matches for survival are played at the Stari aerodrome and under Mali Brdo - the home teams, OFK Titograd and Petrovac, need victories against Jezera and Iskra to avoid direct relegation, and the guests to avoid the playoffs for survival.

In Titograd, which has been without a win for 11 games and which has two points less than Petrovac at the back, they called for help from the priest, who consecrated the pitch at the Old Airport.
