Oriente Petrolero vs Palmaflor tips and predictions

Palmaflor to deny the hosts; draw beckons

There's not much between Oriente Petrolero and Palmaflor in the Division Profesional. The hosts are in fifth place with 32 points, compared to their opponents who are in seventh place on 30 points.

The short price for Oriente Petrolero has made them unbackable. Palmaflor don't look likely get the job done but they can cause some problems. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to go crazy about.

Both of these sides have looked strong in defence. Not giving much away to recent opponents, Oriente Petrolero have conceded only 2 goals in their last 8 matches, while Palmaflor have conceded only 1 goal in their last 4 matches.

Oriente Petrolero are justifiable favourites and it is possible they just don't give any chances away. The BTTS No is therefore a good looking side bet.

Oriente Petrolero have drawn 5 of their last 14 matches coupled with the fact that Palmaflor have drawn 3 of their last 7 matches. Their most recent stalemate was when they shared the spoils with Nacional Potosi last Monday and while any draw is the pick, a scoreline of 0-0 cannot be written off here. It's not a very exciting prediction and it feels like a match to be wary of. The draw is the play after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
