Oriente Petrolero vs Fluminense prediction, preview, team news and more

Seeking to pick up their first away win in the Copa Sudamericana and secure a place in the knockout stages, Fluminense visit the Estadio Ramón Tahuichi Aguilera to face Oriente Petrolero on Thursday.

The Bolivian outfit, meanwhile, will be playing for pride as they currently find themselves rooted to the bottom of the group standings, having lost each of their five games so far.

Oriente Petrolero were left empty-handed for the third game on the trot last Saturday when they were beaten 1-0 by Nacional Potosi in the Bolivian Division Professional.

They have now turned their attention to the Copa Sudamericana, where they have endured a woeful campaign, losing each of their five games so far.

Oriente Petrolero, who are currently last-placed in Group H, head into the match as the only side yet to pick up a point in the continental tournament.

Elsewhere, Fluminense maintained their fine string of results last time out when they claimed a hard-fought 1-0 win over Fortaleza in the Brasileiro Serie A.

They are now unbeaten in each of their last six outings across all competitions, picking up four wins and two draws since a 3-2 loss at Coritiba on May 1.

Fluminense now head to the Copa Sudamericana, where they are currently third in the group standings, two points off first-placed Junior Barranquilla.
