Venue: Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera Costas.
The final round of Copa Sudamericana Group H is scheduled this Friday as Oriente Petrolero of Bolivia is set to host Fluminense from Brazil at Estadio Ramon Tahuichi Aguilera Costas.
Fluminense is at the 3rd spot on group standing, with 8 points from 5 matches. They won and drew 2 fixtures each while having lost once. The visitors are currently on a 3-game unbeaten run in Copa Sudamericana and they look forward to extend that momentum here registering a win.
In their last group match, The Brazilian side tied away by 0-0 against Union Santa Fe. They are more of a defensive side in this tournament and at this point, Fluminense have nothing to play for as they can’t make it to the Play offs due their point-lag and rather they will be aiming to end this on a high note.
On the other hand, Oriente Petrolero resides at the bottom of the group closing the 4th position on the table with zero points. Of the 5 matches played, they lost on all of those occasions and remain as a dreadful side. Their total goals to conceding ratio stands at 2:13 which is the worst among the group.
The Bolivian side marked their 5th consecutive Copa Sudamericana loss by 0-2 against the toppers Junior FC in their latest group schedule. They have nothing to play for in this dead rubber of a match on Friday night as this game’s result won’t alter anything. Oriente Petrolero are playing this game to gain at least a point here so that they can end this with some pride.

Oriente Petrolero vs Fluminense Prediction
Oriente Petrolero seems to be the punching bag in Group H. It is nothing more than the reality of what they presented on the field, after losing all the matches played so far. It is evident that they have zero chance of qualifying, but we could see a fight for pride to secure at least a point.
Meanwhile, Fluminense won the reverse match by 3-0. They now come here on the back of a 4-game unbeaten run across various competitions.
Considering their previous h2h stats and current form, we feel that an away win seems to a realistic option.
