Montenegrin fans want to forget the September national team performances and another missed opportunity as soon as possible, but on the other hand, the Meridianbet 1st CFL clubs, after the break, are looking for as strong support as possible from the stands.
Today, the first league caravan continues, the second of four rounds of the competition starts, and the three teams that are aligned at the top welcome the three from the bottom of the table.
Sutjeska, which is the leader due to the best goal difference, welcomes Jedinstvo-Franca (today, 15 p.m.), Dečić will host Mornar an hour later, while the clash between Budućnost and Iskra pod Gorica is the only match of the 10th round scheduled for Sunday (15 ).
Sutjeska played beautifully before the break, Nenad Brnović's team hopes that the break in the championship did not disturb her.
"I can't say that the break came at an ideal moment, because we were in an excellent series and we played attractively and efficiently. We used the break to recover the players, analyze some mistakes so they don't happen again. Jedinstvo played their best game before the break in a convincing victory in Pljevlja, and they resisted us in the first duel of the season. Then they had some downs, and then they played well, and we must not underestimate them under any circumstances. All the sooner, because we want three points. The team, if Vuk Striković is excluded, is complete. He is wearing a longette, and in the coming days we will know the length of the break. A month, at least," Brnović said.
Bjelopolje know that they are outsiders near Bistrica, but...
"The victory against Rudar before the break came as a reward for some good games in which we were unlucky. We used the time to work on fixing bugs, recovering players and compacting ranks. We tried to raise the level of form and we hope to present ourselves in a good light in Nikšić", emphasizes Vuko Bogavac, coach of Jedinstvo.
And the break certainly came in handy for Nebojsa Jandric, the new coach of Dečić, who got time to get to know the team. He made his debut with a draw with Jezera.
"And the team needed a break to get to know the coach. We worked in Ulcinj for four days and I think we are ready to continue. We beat Mornar at the beginning of the season 1:0, although I must say that the game was difficult. I expect another victory, although we know that it will be a difficult game against the experienced, high-quality and well-led Mornar team", stressed Draško Božović, midfielder of Dečić.
And with the defeat against Jedinstva in the last round, Rudar also said goodbye to the coaching staff of Srđan Nikić, so the team was prepared by a new coach, Dragan Aničić, during the break.
A difficult debut awaits him - the fourth-placed Jezero arrives in Pljevlja, one of the most pleasant surprises of the championship so far, with Rad Petrović on the bench, last season's coach of Rudar.
"The lake is the most pleasant surprise of the first part, they beat us in the first round and now we will do our best to get revenge in front of our audience. We are not satisfied with the points balance so far and we must use the favorable schedule in front of us to join the upper part of the table", says Rudar striker Dušan Živković.
The Jadar derby is being played in Petrovac - Arsenal from Tivat is coming.
At the start of the season, Petrovčani celebrated smoothly in Kotor against Arsenal, they were the team with the best start, but then there was a big slump that Mladen Lambulić's team only broke in the last round with a triumph over Iskra in Danilovgrad.
