Football spectacle in Ulcinj.
The stadium on Velika Plaza, for the first time in history, in the first league - with a new pitch, changing rooms. The guest in the very important match Otranto-Olimpik in the fight for survival will be the new champion, the team Buducnost. The duel starts at 17.30:XNUMX PM.
Since returning to the elite last year, Otrant has been an "away" player in every game - as a host, they played on various fields, mainly at the FSCG Training Camp, or in Petrovac, and now they are finally able to play a home match on their own field.
Even if the situation in the fight for survival were not as it is, and if the rival were anyone else and not the champion, the stands would be full, like this - it will be small to accommodate everyone interested.
With four rounds remaining, the team from Ulcinj is two points behind second-placed Jezera and is trying to avoid direct relegation and reach the play-offs for survival. That's how important this match is.
NEW STADIUM, THE TOUGHEST OPPONENT
- We are preparing for a new stadium, for a big challenge, for the toughest opponent - he says Petar Vukcevic, an offensive player for Otrant-Olimpik, the top scorer for Ulcinj with six goals so far.
Although they are still last, the football players from the southernmost city, debutants in the elite, are on a good run of results, which gives them additional confidence ahead of today's biggest challenge.
- We are undefeated in the last five games, and in that period we are even the second best team in the league in terms of points and goal difference, behind Buducnost - adds Vukčević.
So, the first and last, as well as the two most successful teams, meet in April and May.
- We managed to somehow manage, playing on fields that are not ours. Now we are finally playing at home and the audience will bring us a lot. We have a tough match ahead of us, Buducnost will come to win, although they have already won the title, they are chasing the record for the number of matches without defeat. On the other hand, the positive streak and the home fans give us the right to hope for a positive outcome, too - adds Vukčević, a former player of Buducnost, Sutjeska, Zeta, Podgorica, Iskra, Bokelj and Grbalj.
Now, they are fighting hard for survival with Otranto, and their only rival in the fight to avoid last place and direct relegation is Jezero.
- We are two points behind, but we also had more, we risked being minus six when they played a game behind. Then we had a chance to equalize with them, in the end we got a point against Dečić, now the difference is two points and there are four rounds left, everything is open. We have a similar schedule, almost the same opponents, which is the fairest - it will be shown who deserves to stay. I think it is us.
ON THE RADAR OF PROSINEČKI
Although he is not a classic striker, Petar Vukčević is Otranto's top scorer this season, with six goals, and he also stands out with assists - he practically carries Ulcinj's team, it remains to be seen whether they will survive.
- I change positions, sometimes even during the match, but I like it best when I'm on the right wing, or behind the most advanced striker, like lately. I'm happy with six goals, I believe there will be more, that they will help the team. Because they are only valid in case of good results.
Buducnost has gone 19 matches without defeat in the championship. Their last defeat was on October 27th last year, against Mornar. If the team from Podgorica remains undefeated in the remaining four matches, they will equal their own record, as well as the league record set by Mladen Milnković's Buducnost a few seasons ago (23 matches without defeat).
Vukčević is also the author of the fastest hat-trick, on April 6, in the 28th round against Mornar, he scored three goals in just 11 minutes.
- It's hard to describe that feeling, it happened so quickly that I only realized what I had done after the game - says Vukčević.
This may be the right opportunity for the selector December continue the good practice of calling up talented CFL football players to the national flag (Igor Nikić, Miloš Brnović, Milan Vukotić...), and if anyone from a small football destination has recently earned that honor, it is certainly Petar Vukčević.
When asked how he sees himself in the next, very important months, Vukčević answers:
- My biggest wish is for Otranto to survive in the league. Everything else will come by itself.
BARANI ON HYBRID SUBSTRATE FOR SURVIVAL

Andrej Camaj: We don't want to stop
Buducnost arrives in Ulcinj to continue their great series - in general, and especially against teams from the seaside.
Even though they won the title last week, Ivan Brnović's boys are not stopping, and the impression is that they are not bothered by the friction within the club, the dilemma of obtaining, or not obtaining, a European license.
In the last three rounds, Buducnost has beaten Arsenal (5:0), Bokelj (4:0), Mornar (3:0), and now it's the fourth first league team from the seaside.
Andrej Camaj, a member of the golden youth national team of Montenegro, is getting more and more opportunities, hitting the net more and more often. He also scored in the last round against Mornar.
- Every goal means a lot, especially when it contributes to a team victory - the 19-year-old winger tells the club's website.
- I am satisfied with my current form, it is all the result of hard work, effort and sacrifice. I will try to continue at the same pace, to be better, because it can always be better, but above all - to subordinate everything to the team - Camaj is clear.
The competitive nature of the "blues" is maximally expressed, they approach every game with the desire to celebrate, the atmosphere of having already won the title will not slow down Buducnost.
- The work of the entire team has paid off, and the title is a confirmation of everything we have been through together since the beginning of the season. We all feel good, but we don't want to stop there - we will try to be as good as we can until the end of the season, to try to reach and surpass a few more records.
- Otrant definitely has more motivation than anyone else, because they are fighting for survival, and they are also officially opening the renovated pitch and playing the first game in front of their fans. We know how difficult it will be, but I believe in ourselves and another triumph. We respect our opponent, but if we maintain focus, discipline and team play - I think we will be closer to victory", says Camaj.
