Match preview
The Pamplona side are having a fairly consistent season and continue their battle for a spot in the top half of the table. Despite a recent 0-1 defeat to Valencia, which snapped a six-game unbeaten streak, the team had previously won four of their last six league matches and consolidated their position in tenth place.
The key to the hosts’ success remains their solid performances at home. At El Sadar, Osasuna have picked up 24 points from 12 La Liga matches, suffering just two defeats, while Croatian striker Ante Budimir continues to find the net regularly and has already scored 14 goals across all competitions.
The visitors are enduring a tough spell in their campaign and remain stuck in the relegation zone. Mallorca have lost their last four league fixtures, with the most recent setback coming at home against Real Sociedad (0-1), marking Martin Demichelis’ debut as head coach.
The main objective for the islanders is still to secure top-flight survival, but inconsistent results are making that mission increasingly difficult. Nevertheless, the team has a potent weapon up front in Vedat Muriqi, who has already netted 16 La Liga goals this season and remains the main threat in attack.
Probable lineups
- Osasuna: Herrera, Rosier, Catena, Errando, Galan, Moncayola, Torro, Munoz, Oroz, Moro, Budimir.
- Mallorca: Roman, Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica, Darder, Mascarell, Costa, Joseph, Muriqi, Virgili.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Osasuna are unbeaten against Mallorca in their last four league meetings.
- Three of the last four head-to-head encounters between these teams have ended in a draw.
- Mallorca have lost four consecutive La Liga matches, slipping into the relegation zone.
Prediction
Osasuna have traditionally been strong at home and rarely slip up in Pamplona. Mallorca are in the midst of a severe crisis, having lost several matches in a row, which is putting extra pressure on the team and their new manager. Given the current form of both sides and the home advantage, a victory for the hosts looks like the most probable outcome.
