Club Oriental de Football Team Overview
Oriental haven't been consistent - three defeats and two wins in their last five matches point to a contradictory run of form. Over ten matches, the team have managed four wins, five defeats and one draw, which confirms their status as a solid mid-table side without any clear dominance in either attack or defence. Their average scoring rate over that longer stretch is one goal scored per match and one conceded; however, more recent figures suggest problems in front of goal: just half a goal scored and one and a half conceded across their last two away matches.
