Estudiantes de La Plata vs Oriente Petrolero Prediction and Betting Tips | June 28th 2023

Estudiantes de La Plata will host Oriente Petrolero at the Estadio Ciudad de La Plata on Wednesday in the final round of the group stages of the 2023 CONMEBOL Sudamericana campaign.

The home side have enjoyed a solid showing in the group stages of the Copa Libertadores, although they have struggled for form in the Argentine top-flight of late. They played out a 1-1 draw against Brasileiro Serie A outfit Red Bull Bragantino in their last group game, with Benjamin Rollheiser scoring a penalty in the second half to level the scores.

Oriente, meanwhile, have endured a near-abysmal continental campaign and have been knocked out of the competition. They were beaten 3-1 by Paraguayan outfit Tacuary in their last group game and were already three goals down before Daniel Rojas scored a late consolation goal from outside the area.

The visitors sit rock-bottom in their group with zero points and will be desperate to pick up their first win this week.
