Hey folks! How's it going? We've got an exciting match coming up in the Bolivia
Premier League, and it's time to get all hyped up. We're talking about
Nacional Potosi going up against
Oriente Petrolero on the 3rd of May, 2025. Let's dive right into the deets and see what's likely to unfold on the pitch!
Nacional Potosi overview
Alright, let's kick things off by talking about
Nacional Potosi. These guys have been on a bit of a rollercoaster lately. They've had some highs, like that sweet 3-0 victory over Club Guabira, but also some lows, like their recent 1-2 loss to Jorge Wilstermann. It's been a mixed bag, to say the least.
Key players to watch? You bet! Oscar Baldomar is a midfield maestro who can thread a pass through the eye of a needle. And then there's Diego Diellos, a striker with a nose for goal. Plus, keep an eye on Martin Sebastian Prost; he's a relentless force on the field.
On their good days,
Nacional Potosi can be an attacking juggernaut, pouring forward with a fearless attitude. But, and it's a big but, their defense has been a bit like swiss cheese lately, full of holes and vulnerable. The team will need to tighten up at the back if they want to keep
Oriente Petrolero at bay.
Now, let's flip the page and check out their visitors.
Oriente Petrolero overview
Turning our spotlight to
Oriente Petrolero, they've had their fair share of tussles and setbacks, but they’ve managed to stand their ground with a series of draws – that 1-1 against San Antonio Bulo Bulo being a prime example. However, the 5-1 drubbing by Club Aurora definitely raised some eyebrows.
Keep your eyes peeled for Hugo Dorrego, a playmaker who can light up the game with his vision and flair. Marcos Riquelme has got that clinical finish which defenders dread, and Jonathan Cristaldo’s energy is simply unmatched on the pitch.
Their biggest asset? The counter-attack. Rapid, lethal, and efficient. But, playing away from home often leaves them a bit flat-footed in defense. There's an air about their away form that gives off a whiff of vulnerability. Oh, and did you know?
Oriente Petrolero and
Nacional Potosi have locked horns 43 times and have an identical win record against each other! Talk about a rivalry, right?
Okay, enough chit-chat, let’s dig into their head-to-head battles.
H2H stats
Strap yourselves in, because this rivalry is as tight as they come. Out of their 43 encounters, each team has clinched 15 wins, with 13 draws sprinkled in there for good measure.

- Key Players: Each side boasts stars capable of changing the game in an instant.

In my humble opinion, it’s anyone’s game on paper, but
Nacional Potosi’s home advantage might just give them that slight edge.
