Two derbies at the opening of the final round of the 1st CFL

Three rounds have been played in the MeridianBet First Montenegrin Football League, 27 rounds have been archived, and the last, fourth round begins today.

The derby is in Petrovac, where the second-placed team meets the leader - Petrovac and Budućnost are playing. The Podgorica team is undisputed in first place, they have 14 points more than Petrovac and it is clear that they will be champions. A possible victory would bring them even closer to that goal.

- We will definitely go for the win, this team doesn't know how to calculate. I hope the crisis we had against Dečić in the first half doesn't happen again, I think that's what prevented us from winning. In any case, a tough opponent - said the coach of Buducnost, Ivan Brnović.

The strategist of Buducnost is aware that his team will face difficult terrain.

- What will be even more difficult is the pitch in Petrovac. These are circumstances that affect football and quality. We expect a full stadium, a good atmosphere, a game that can also affect the outcome when it comes to first place. However, we have eight rounds after that, nothing will be over, but there are possible some indications of what can happen.

Petrovac is consistently in second place, and it seems like it will stay there until the end of the championship.

- Congratulations for everything they have done so far in the championship. I think that, regardless of how things continue, they have marked the championship in every sense with their consistent play. They don't have any special individuals, don't get me wrong, but their strength is team play. They play a granite defense, in 27 games they have conceded 25 goals, less than a goal per match. They know exactly what they are good at. There are no improvisations, they play very well tactically, they are an extremely prepared team physically. They have compact team lines, good defense, but not only the last line, but also players in the midfield who are very competitive, as well as attackers who have defensive characteristics, they want to help the team - explained Brnović.

Buducnost has defeated Petrovac three times this season.

- A high-stakes, high-risk match for both us and them. I expect a ruthless performance, a fair play match, to show that we are close to the European world, both we and they, to show that the fact that we will play in Europe is not the result of coincidence, but the result of a good season - said the coach of Buducnost.

And from third to sixth place, it's a tight race - Dečić AdmiralBet, Sutjeska and Mornar each have 37 points, and Bokelj SBBet 36.

The current champion will host the team from Nikšić in Tuzi, who lost to Jedinstvo-France in the previous round and ended their five-match unbeaten streak.

- Dečić is one of the better teams in the league. With the change on the bench, they gained more energy and quality. A strong opponent, but we will try to give our maximum and see what will be enough - said the coach of Sutjeska Milija Savović.

In other matches, Jedinstvo welcomes Arsenal, Jezero hosts Bokelj, and Mornar plays host to Otranto Olimpic.
