Osasuna

Osasuna picked up a point in a 2-2 draw with Athletic Bilbao on Saturday; Jagoba Arrasate's side actually led 2-0 at San Mames, but the home side answered back, with their second goal coming in the sixth minute of additional time at the end of the 90.

Los Rojillos are without a victory in La Liga since the end of March, but they did manage to end their four-game losing run on Saturday with a welcome point against Ernesto Valverde's side.

Arrasate's team are currently 13th in the table, boasting 40 points from their 35 matches courtesy of a record of 11 wins, seven draws and 17 defeats.

Osasuna will again operate in Spain's top flight next season, but there will be a new manager in the dugout, with Arrasate preparing to stand down as head coach.

Los Rojillos have actually managed to win just one of their last four La Liga matches against Mallorca, and they suffered a 3-2 defeat in the reverse meeting between the two sides earlier this season.

Mallorca

Mallorca, meanwhile, relegated Granada from Spain's top flight on Saturday courtesy of their 1-0 home success over Las Palmas, with Giovanni Gonzalez netting the only goal of the contest.

Javier Aguirre's side are now 15th in the table, boasting 35 points from their 35 matches, which has left them nine points ahead of 18th-placed Cadiz, who are in action against Getafe on Sunday afternoon.

Mallorca are set for another campaign in the top flight, but they have performed below expectations this season, especially as last term brought a ninth-placed finish.

The Pirates have found it difficult on their travels during the 2023-24 campaign, only picking up 10 points from their 17 matches, recording just one victory in the process.

Osasuna have struggled for consistency in front of their own fans this season, though, only claiming 21 points from 17 matches, and the hosts have also found it tough to show their best form for much of the season.

Prediction: Osasuna 1-1 Mallorca
