Just one dilemma before the final round of the Meridianbet 1. CFL, which is being played today at 17.30:XNUMX PM - who will go to the play-offs with Jezero?
It has long been known that Budućnost is the champion, yesterday it received a license for Europe, and as of yesterday it is official that second-placed Petrovac will not be able to qualify for the Conference League due to paperwork reasons, so third-placed Sutjeska will take its place.
It is known from the last round that Otranto is relegated, and that Jezero is going to the play-off for survival. The only dilemma is who is the other candidate for the play-off? The candidates are Mornar, Arsenal and Jedinstvo.
CANDLE CHARACTER
The last round will also have a festive character, as the new champions, the players of Buducnost, will be presented with the championship trophy at the "DG Arena" after the duel with Dečić.
Before that, the chosen ones Ivan Brnović, who are convincingly in first place, with 24 points more than second-placed Petrovac, will try to set another record with a triumph - the one for the number of points won. They have 84 with one round to go.
Since the 2016/17 season, the First CFL has been played according to a four-round system, with 36 rounds, Buducnost has won the most points. Mladen Milinković four years ago (85).
This generation of the Podgorica team has a chance to reach 87 - they will do so if they achieve their 28th victory this season, or if they defeat Dečić for the third time in four matches.
- The emotions are sublime and special, because we all worked hard and put in a lot of effort, effort and great sacrifice, as well as difficult decisions, which in the end, thank God, resulted in one of the most successful seasons in the club's history - said the coach of Buducnost Ivan Brnović, whose team has already set a record for the number of goals scored in the Montenegrin championship (90).
- In addition to the dominance in the championship, I would especially emphasize the affirmation of young players.
Buducnost scored 90 goals this season - which is also a record for the Montenegrin Football League.
Some, even younger, will get the chance today.
- Mugosha will be the starter, and Brajovic, Saranovic, Popovic i Perisic on the bench. He will look for and, I hope, get his chance off the bench, of course depending on what happens in the match itself - said Brnović.
THE SAILOR IS SAVED BY VICTORY
Of the three teams fighting to avoid the relegation play-off, only Arsenal is not dependent on itself: even a victory over Jezero will be in vain for the team from Tivat if Mornar wins in Petrovac and Jedinstvo wins in Nikšić.
However, the team from Tivat is the only one playing at home and would avoid the play-offs with a triumph if they fail to win against either of their rivals - Jedinstvo over Sutjeska, or Mornar over Petrovac.
In the end, Jezero may overtake Tivat in the standings with a win over Arsenal and take eighth, a better position before the play-off. The eighth-placed team will play Lovćen in the play-off, and the ninth-placed team will play Rudar.
