They say under Gorica that they worked well during the break, but whether that's just a cliché - we'll see today.

- We played two games during the break, and our performances were better than the previous period. We are playing against a direct competitor for Europe. Petrovac has continuity, is constantly improving and is a quality team. Regardless, knowing the situation we are in, three points are essential for us - added Vušurović.

An hour later (15), the last and first in the standings play - Jedinstvo awaits Sutjeska. The team from Nikšić is on a four-game winning streak, has seven points more than second-placed Mornar, and each successive triumph brings them closer to the title.

- The Jezera team has not been easy on us so far - they play open, educated football, with very clear principles in the game. Their coach is doing a great job and it is not surprising that they are having a good season. However, I think the quality is on our side. From weekend to weekend we continuously provide great games, and this is a clear sign that Mornar can do a lot and that we still have 'fuel' for the very end of the season - the Mornar defender told the club's website Ilija Martinović.
