  • Oriente Petrolero seeks to extend its recent positive run against Nacional Potosí to climb into the top eight.
  • The team has shown recovery with a draw and a win in its last two matches.
  • Key player Julio Herrera has been provisionally cleared to play, boosting team confidence.

Oriente Petrolero is aiming to secure a crucial victory against Nacional Potosí this Sunday, seeking to solidify its position within the top eight teams and qualify for international competition next season. The team, known as 'los refineros,' has demonstrated a noticeable resurgence in its recent performances.

Following a 2-2 draw against Aurora in Cochabamba, Oriente Petrolero secured a vital 2-1 win over Independiente in Sucre. These results have significantly boosted the squad's morale and confidence under the guidance of coach Gustavo Florentín.

Adding to the positive momentum, the Bolivian Football Federation (FBF) has issued resolutions favorable to the club. The Ethics Tribunal cleared club president Ronald Raldes of accusations related to goalkeeper Tadeo Granara's hiring, dismissing the case due to insufficient evidence. Furthermore, the Dispute Resolution Chamber has provisionally authorized the participation of midfielder Julio Herrera, making him available for selection.

These institutional and sporting endorsements provide a strong backdrop for the upcoming match. The club has urged its supporters to remain united and back the team as it navigates the challenges of the championship. Coach Florentín is finalizing tactical adjustments, with the availability of goalkeeper Alejandro Torres remaining uncertain due to injury.
