League table

Note: Do not forget to update the scores as well!

First, they were docked 9 points because of their decision to field reserve players in their match against Mogren.

Furthermore, they were docked one more point due to an incident in their match against Sutjeska. The referee refused to enter the pitch before the start of the match due to alleged verbal threats by Radojica Božović, Zeta's chairman, about Zeta must having to win in that match. Božović was also punished with a lifetime ban on performing any functions within competitions overseen by the Football Association of Montenegro (FSCG).
