The last, fourth round starts on Wednesday - with the matches of the 28th round, the unraveling in the Meridianbet First Montenegrin Football League definitely begins.
Nine more rounds to go, one more round each against each, the last filter of the fight for the title, Europe and survival.
Uncertainty is on all three "fronts", especially the most important one, at the top, because Budućnost and Dečić Admiralbet each have 50 points and today they will try to win against the teams from the lower part of the table in order to make a good prelude before the duel between them, the big derby in Sunday, in the 29th round.
The current champion, Buducnost, has a slightly easier task, at least because they are playing at home - the rival is the penultimate team in the standings, ninth-placed Mladost Lob.bet (18.30).
Dečić, on the other hand, is visiting eighth-placed Jedinstvo, four and a half hours earlier (15 p.m.).
- There are nine games left until the end of the championship, each of them is like a final, that's how we have to approach them - says the captain of Buducnosti Petar Grbić.
Looking at the positions in the table, Mladost from Donja Gorica should be "lying" with Buducnost, but it is not quite like that - in three duels this season, all three signs were seen, Mladost won at the "DG Arena" in August last year in the first round (2:1 ), under Gorica then it was 2:2, so that the people of Podgorica finally celebrated from the third attempt, away from home at the end of the autumn half-season (3:1).
- They owe us a lot, they cost us points twice. On the other hand, we are happy with the edition against Petrovac on Saturday, we provided probably the most mature game in recent times. If we repeat such an approach against Mladost, I am sure there will be no surprises - Grbić added.
Dečić is visiting, but he likes visiting - the team Milorad Peković he is the only one in the league who has not yet lost on the side, and on the away courts he has won by far the most points in the league.
He celebrated in the first part of the season in Bijelo Polje (1:0), with a goal in the last seconds of the game. The residents of Tuzna do not expect any easier work, because the host is fighting for survival.
- We don't think about the future, we go one game at a time. The duel against Jedinstva is currently the grand final for us, the biggest possible match. Only when the game is over will we turn to the derby. It will be difficult in Bijelo Polje, nowhere in this league is easy, that's how we have to think, concentration and focus must always be at their maximum - he points out Ognjen Stijepovic, the winger of Dečić.
0:0
was the result of all three duels between Mornar and Petrovac this season. Two teams from the Adriatic meet today
Sutjeska has no defeat since the arrival Miljan Radović on the coaching bench, she achieved three wins and one draw, she found herself in the position she wished for during the winter break (third place, which could bring Europe), and whether she will keep it depends a lot on today's game.
Near Bistrica, namely, the closest companion - Jezero, which has only one point less. A triumph for the home team would also mean a big step forward...
- We are doing excellent work and these results are not accidental. We hope for another good result against Jezera, to continue the good streak - says the offensive player from Nikšić Veljko Batrović.
Mornar also has a point less than Sutjeska, who suffered their first defeat of the spring on Sunday, precisely against Jezera, and today welcomes Petrovac.
The Adriatic derby is specific in that there were no goals in 180 minutes of football in the duels this season - all three matches ended 0:0.
Arsenal will host last-placed Rudar in Tivat, who are in a streak of six matches without a win.
