The final countdown begins, three rounds remain until the end of the Meridianbet First Montenegrin Football League, there is a lot of intrigue, dilemmas in every part of the table!
Today, the 34th round, two derbies to decide the top and bottom of the table will also depend on the outcome of today's matches. All matches start at the same time - at 20 pm.
Leader Sutjeska welcomes Dečić, who will not want to wait for the outcome of the Montenegrin Cup final against Mornar to achieve his European mission, for which a point after the Bistrica defeat is enough. Nikšić, on the other hand, has only two points more, but a weaker head-to-head record than Mornar, and must win if they want to be the first to cross the finish line.
Barani will not be reduced to nothing either, they are away to Gorica Buducnost and no one should be fooled by the fact that the "blue and white" have not scored a goal in five games. Buducnost will not lack motivation, because a victory would keep their hopes of reaching the Euros alive. Podgorica has a new coach Srdjan Radonjic and new energy after the collapse that threatened the club.
However, the fight for the title is in the foreground, and there is no Future there.
Sutjeska or Mornar?
"We play in front of our fans, that's always an additional motivation. We know how good our rival is, they showed that by reaching the Cup final, but we only look at ourselves, because we know how much we are worth and how much we can do," said Sutjeska coach Milorad Peković before the duel with Dečić.
He would take a big step towards the title by winning against the team with which he already won the title two years ago.
Mobilization among players is at a high level, it's because of matches like this that football is played, says the defender. Andrija Raznatović.
"Dečić is compact, with a lot of quality players, but we are going for three points, as in every match so far, because we know what a win brings us - the title. They are in the Cup final, which can be a double-edged sword, on the one hand a special motive, and on the other the fact that they have secured a place on the European stage. A good game awaits us, we wonder," says the most efficient defender in the league.
In the last round, Mornar missed a great opportunity to take the top spot with two rounds to go, drawing at home with the penultimate Bokelj, will they get another one?
To win it, they have to beat Budućnost in Podgorica.
"A very important game for us, against a champion who is in some trouble, but whom we value and respect very much. This is a group of players with enviable careers, who will do everything to get out of the crisis they are in," said the Mornar captain. Andrija Kaluđerović.
He says that Mornar pod Gorica is coming to the stadium with maximum motivation.
"On the other hand, we come motivated, to get back on track to win. I expect us to give our best in all areas and with a little luck I hope to win."
When it comes to the fight for 4th place, the last place that leads to Europe, Petrovac is the main competitor of Buducnost. It has three points more and welcomes last-placed Jedinstvo, who are “burning under their feet”. The Bijelopolje team is only one point behind Bokelj, who welcomes Arsenal.
The team from Tivat, like Buducnost, is only three points away from 4th place (they cannot qualify for Europe due to suspension), but also from the play-off zone towards the bottom of the table.
And finally, the derby of truth for Jezero and Mladost Lob.bet. With a win in Berane, Plav would cede a place in the play-off zone to their rival - they would have one point more.
