Sutjeska is the team that is in the best shape in the second part of the season in the MeridianBet First Montenegrin Football League.

In the 29th round, the team from Nikšić beat Mornar (2:0) and for the first time this season defeated their rival from Bar. In the previous three matches, Mornar won twice (1:0, 1:0) and one match ended in a draw (1:1).

Sutjeska's last defeat in MeridianBet 1. CFL was against Mornar, on February 18, at the start of the second part of the season. Since then, the "blues" from Nikšić have played nine matches, won six times, played tied three times, so they will be watching the derby between Dečić and Budućnost, which is scheduled for Tuesday (18) at the "DG Arena", with great attention. After today's triumph, Sutjeska moved closer to Budućnost, just one point behind, while Dečić, on the eve of the derby, has four points more than Miljan Radović's team. Quite unexpectedly, Sutjeska absolutely joined the race for the title.
