Photo-finish in the Telekom 1st Montenegrin football league, only three rounds are left, the 34th in a row is on the program tonight, and all five games are played at the same time (19 p.m.).
Among them is the biggest derby, the duel between Budućnosti and Sutjeska, which this time has no competitive significance, except for sheer prestige.
Because the "distribution" has already been done - the people of Nikšić convincingly won the title (13 points more), the people of Podgorica got some revenge with a dominant presentation in the semi-finals of the Cup (5:1 in the overall score), where they will try to win the trophy on May 29 in the final against A little boy.
THE FUTURE IS PREPARING FOR THE FINALS, SUTJESKA IS LOOKING FOR MOTIVATION
The preparation for the final - maintaining the competitive rhythm, is the main point that the Budućnost players will focus on when they run out onto the field tonight.
"It is also important for us to maintain a good rhythm and mood before the Cup final with Dečić. For us, it is the key to the season and through the remaining league matches we will prepare as best we can", says the captain of Budućnost Vasilije Terzić.
The biggest derby, however, is always a match for prestige...
"I believe that we will repeat the games from the Cup and beat Sutjeska once again," Terzić added, congratulating his rival on winning the title.
The future will be without national team members Miloš Raičković and Igor Ivanović, but Sutjeska is also weakened - there is no Novica Eraković, some other players, and the team was "squeezed out psychologically and physically" in the last round against Dečić, as coach Milija Savović points out.
"We play more of a showcase than a match that means something. That's how we prepare. We have finished the season, the result is no longer important, so it is difficult to find motivation. However, the match against Budućnost is a real opportunity to make the issue of motivation easier for me and the coaching staff. I believe that the players will have enough motivation to show themselves in the right light", said Savović.
ISKRA AGAINST SAILORS FOR EUROPE
Dečić, who welcomes Petrovac, lacks a point to mathematically confirm his placement in Europe through the championship, while Iskra and Mornar are fighting for the fourth "international" place. Their midseason duel in Danilovgrad will mark, from a competitive point of view, the matches of the 34th round. The Rams have four points less and a chance to come within a point of their rival with their fifth straight win. Iskra, on the other hand, also has a chance to mathematically secure the 4th position and the second placement in Europe in the club's history with a victory over Mornar.
There is a dilemma in the fight for Europe, but that's why the "key" is at the bottom, where teams that want to avoid direct relegation and teams that want to survive without a playoff meet each other.
In the last round, Podgorica took the last position from Zeta and is in the most difficult position before the outcome - the team from "DG Arena" is visiting Rudar, which still hopes to survive without a playoff, although it has six points less than Jezera.
Jezero, on the other hand, welcomes Zeta in Berane - they would be saved with a triumph, two rounds before the end, but Golubovčani would also take a huge step towards the playoffs with a triumph.
