Matches 35, the penultimate round of the Meridianbet 1. Montenegrin football league are played today.
Sutjeska Meridianbet - Dečić Admiralbet, Budućnost - Sailor, Jezero - Rudar, Arsenal - Mladost Lob.bet, Jedinstvo Franca - Petrovac meet at 19:XNUMX.
This could be the round of the final decision when it comes to the championship race - Dečić will mathematically win the first trophy in the club's history if he defeats Sutjeska near Bistrica. And a draw would lead Milorad Peković's team to the finish line if Budućnost pod Gorica, in another round derby, does not beat Mornar. And even defeat, if he loses the Future...
- The match is of great importance for both teams. I expect open football, I hope we will win a historic title - said midfielder Draško Božović.
Two rounds before the end, Tuzani have three points more and a better score among themselves, so it is enough for them to achieve at least the same result against Sutjeska as Buducnost against Mornar. Otherwise, things will be prolonged for the last round when Dečić welcomes Arsenal, and Budućnost visits Petrovac.
At the same time, the race for Europe is being held, and Budućnost and Mornar are playing a direct clash - even in the case of a triumph under Gorica, Barani would be tied for 2nd position and have a better mutual score before the end of the round.
- Mornar is an excellent team with good individuals, and this is best shown by the state of the table and the results achieved by Barani in the season. We know them well, and their greatest quality is togetherness. We want to solve the last two games of the season in our favor, increase our self-confidence and be ready for the Cup final, where we will attack the trophy. That is our primary goal - said Budućnost midfielder Miloš Raicković.
The sailor is ready for a big fight:
- It will be difficult, but we have already met with Podgorica this season - we played four times, experienced only one defeat... We know how derby matches are played and I believe that both teams will try to get results through attacking football. The key is to stay focused and take advantage of the opportunities that come our way - Sailor coach Zoran Đurašković is clear.
The third position, which could bring Europe if Buducnost wins the Cup, is still hoped for by Sutjeska, which must win both matches until the end of the season (today against Dečić at home, in the last round against Rudar in Pljevlja) and believe that Mornar can loses both games (Budućnosti is visiting, Jezero is waiting).
Not everything is completely resolved even at the bottom, but the situation is looming - Rudar will move to the Second League if they don't beat Jezero in Berane, or if Jedinstvo wins at least a point at home against Petrovac.
Therefore, Pljevlja have one foot in the lower rank, which would be their first relegation in independent Montenegro, and Budućnost, Sutjeska and Petrovac would remain the only three clubs that have been continuously in the elite since 2006.
A point is enough for Unity to secure the penultimate position and play-off (probably with Otranto-Olimpic), and for Arsenal also a draw against Mladost DG to eliminate all dilemmas.
Mladost, if a miracle does not happen and they win both matches to the end, and Arsenal lose both, will play in the play-off with neighboring Podgorica.
