The national team break is over, and the 17th round of the MeridianBet First Football League is characterized by the fact that it will be played in three days - three games are scheduled today, and one each on Sunday and Monday when Jezero and Sutjeska will close the round.
Budućnost and Petrovac continue the championship race - the leader, who has three more points, goes to the tournament Jedinstvo Franci, while the "challenger" from the sea visits the current champion Dečić AdmiralBet. Both matches start at 14:XNUMX p.m., and the duel between Mornara and Bokelj SBB is at the same time.
- We are determined to win. We need three points in order to cancel the setback against Jezera, but also to enter the end of the half-season in the best possible way. The pitch will probably be difficult, but the conditions are the same for us and the rival - said Ilya Serikov, a Russian football player in the ranks of Budućnost.
Focus is key in Bijelo Polje, claims Serikov.
- We have a great team with great players, but victory will come only if we are maximally dedicated and focused. We respect the rival, we watched it, analyzed it, and I have to praise Jedinstvo for everything it did. However, we are going to win - added Serikov.
Buducnost has never lost to Jedinstvo in independent Montenegro - in 28 matches they have won 24 times.
- We want to return with victories, we are ready to do everything together for three new points - Serikov is clear.
In Unity, they know that tradition is not in their favor.
- It will be difficult against the team that has shown the most so far. The future is a clear favorite, we will try to disrupt its plans - says the experienced goal scorer Žarko Korac.
Dečič is minus 10 from the leader, but he wants to "catch" at least Petrovac, who is seven points behind.
- Maybe this match could be a turning point - the message of the representative goalkeeper from Dečić is clear Igor Nikić.
However, Petrovac wants the same - a triumph.
- Dečić changed the coach who needed time to establish his system, and he looked good in the last two games. We want to outplay each other - stated the coach of Petrovac Zdravko Dragićević.
