Before the first clash of the season, Budućnost has five points more than Dečić at the top after eight rounds - could this be additional pressure for the hosts.

"For sure, Buducnost is in good shape and it is deserved where it is at the moment, but we are looking at ourselves and how to eliminate the mentioned problems, and we also want to repeat the good performance from the previous round (victory in Ptrovac) and that is what is important to us," emphasized Dečić, head of the profession.
What could decide the derby in the end?
"A derby is always a derby - special and a story in itself, it will be the same this time as well. What is up to us is to try to be focused, to enter the match firmly and to try to impose our quality and rhythm," Peković is clear. .
DON'T MISS IT
So far, Dečić has recorded four wins, three draws and a loss, while Budućnost knows no failure at the start - it has six triumphs and two draws.
"A good team is waiting for us, which is in good shape and this is a challenge for us as well. Of course, we should also have an additional motivation that we will be playing against a good team in a nice environment, in front of the home crowd," says the former player of Partizan, Mainz, Grouters firta, Hanse from Rostock...
CFL is not only Dečić and Budućnost
Dečić is at minus five from Budućnosti, Petrovac at minus six, Sutjeska is slowly waking up, and has reduced the gap to eight points... Will this season also pass under the sign of the teams from Tuzi and Podgorica or not?
"I don't think it will... Buducnost is always the biggest favorite, but there are still plenty of teams that play well," Peković is clear.
He also explained which teams he was referring to...
"Petrovac is in a good rush and rhythm, a very good team that plays hard and with quality, Sutjeska is always present and no one should write her off, and there is also Mornar, who showed last season that this is a very good team. Barani still they are looking for the right form, but it is certain that they will find it. In addition to all that, there will always be a team that surprises".
In any case, Meridianbet First Montenegrin League carries uncertainty...
"Yes, I think that is the most important thing - the championship is interesting, the quality is somewhat equal, everyone can beat everyone, the matches are uncertain..." concluded Peković.
The prelude to tomorrow's derby will be the opening ceremony of the renovated building, which will start 45 minutes earlier and where the president of the Football Association of Montenegro, Dejan Savićević, will make official the return of Dečić to his stadium.
