There are still six rounds left until the end of the MeridianBet First Montenegrin Football League, Sutjeska's players have six finals ahead of them, and the first one is on the program today (14 p.m.) at Bistrica against Jezera in the 31st round of the Meridianbet First Montenegrin Football League.
The team from Nikšić is the leader, having defeated Petrovac (1:0) in the previous round, so they kept four points ahead of Mornar, and also withstood Baran's terrible streak of seven consecutive wins.
Will they continue to resist - and will Mornar really continue to win everything: dilemmas that are still relevant ahead of today's round. Vesko Stešević's team is visiting Mladost Lob.bet at the FSCG Camp.
Nikšić's "blues" are the favorites against Jezero, although they have only defeated Miodrag Džudović's team once in three matches this season, and that was in Nikšić, when in the 13th round, on October 26th last year, it was 1:0. In the remaining two matches, Jezero won once (2:1), while the last duel ended in a draw (1:1).
- Jezero is a very serious team, although they did not have a positive result in the second half. In the previous round, they showed that they are coming out of the crisis. We played a lot of tough and uncertain games with them. We enter every match with the desire to win. There are still six rounds left, I hope that the players will give their maximum - said Boris Milickovic, one of Milorad Pekovic's assistants, in the match announcement.
Sutjeska will be without Peković today, who was suspended for one game due to a verbal duel with Marko Marković from Petrovac in the previous game.
The people of Nikšić are aware that nothing in the championship is over yet, but that they are wondering about everything.
- We're going game by game, to get what we want. And we want the title. I think we deserve it with our games and quality - said Milickovic.
Stojan Vukčević will replace Vladan Giljen in goal for Sutjeska.
- Jezero may have played the most beautiful football in the first half, but they are now in a certain decline. However, we are not thinking about who the opponent is. Our goal is clear, we are in first place and it should stay that way until the end of the season - said Vukčević.
The Sutjeska goalkeeper is satisfied with how he took advantage of the opportunity.
- Vlado has been the first goalkeeper from the beginning, I stepped in when needed. I hope I did it right. I hope tomorrow's game will be satisfactory as well - concluded Vukčević.
Buducnost's players are expected to play away to Dečić, a team that has five points more than the "blues" and is their direct competitor in the fight for Europe.
Buducnost has suffered two defeats, against Sutjeska and Arsenal, and failed to score a single goal in those matches. Miodrag Božović's team has missed many chances this spring to get back into the race for Europe, is this the last one?
- We are playing against a direct competitor for Europe, and after two consecutive defeats we want a positive result. We have to show and demonstrate great commitment and desire, that must not be questioned. I think the game will be decided by nuances, because the derbies with Dečić are mostly tough this season, and the plus is the importance of the game is huge for both us and them. That is why we have to be aware that details are very important - said Budućnost goalkeeper Milan Mijatović for the club's website.
Buducnost is chasing third place, but it can also bring fourth place to Europe if one of the top three teams from the championship wins the Cup. As Dečić and Mornar are close to the final, that option is quite realistic.
- Dečić has quality players in all lines of the team, but I think they are strongest in the offensive. After all, that quality keeps them non-stop at the top of the table and they are close to the final of the Montenegrin Cup. However, we play for Buducnost and our obligation is to go for victory, especially because we are in a situation where we need a triumph if we want to keep our connection to the place that leads to Europe - said Mijatović.
A crucial match is being played in Bijelo Polje, a derby of the bottom, a direct duel for survival - Jedinstvo Franca and Bokelj SBBet are playing. The home team is in last place, one point behind today's rival, and the outcome will significantly shape the bottom of the table before the end of the season.
