Current league standings and form
Currently, Osasuna occupies a relatively safe position in the middle of the table (10th place) with 33 points. In stark contrast, Mallorca is languishing in the relegation zone at 18th place with only 24 points.

|---|---|---|---|

Osasuna: The El Sadar stronghold
The home team has played 26 matches this season with a record of 9 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses. Notably, Osasuna's prowess is most evident at their home ground, El Sadar, where they have secured 7 out of their 9 wins since the start of the season. With an average of 1.2 goals scored and conceded per game, Osasuna's team demonstrates a pragmatic yet highly effective style of play against weaker opponents.
Mallorca: Concerns arising from the away trips
Mallorca is going through an extremely difficult period with 14 losses in 26 league matches. The team's fatal weakness lies in their away performance. Of those 14 defeats, 10 were losses away from home. Mallorca's defense is one of the weakest in the league, conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game, while their attack has only managed 29 goals.
History of confrontations: A strange balance
Despite the significant difference in current standings, the history of encounters between the two teams shows drama and balance. In the last five meetings, each team has secured one victory, with three matches ending in a draw. Notably, the first leg in November 2025 ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw at Mallorca's home ground.
- November 29, 2025: Mallorca 2 - 2 Osasuna

Team situation and tactical predictions
In terms of personnel, Osasuna were only missing I. Benito due to a knee injury. This allowed them to easily deploy their optimal formation and impose their playing style from the start.
Conversely, Mallorca is facing a serious squad crisis with as many as four key players absent. Specifically, T. Asano, M. Kumbulla, and J. Llabres are all unavailable due to muscle injuries, while J. Salas is sidelined with a knee problem. The loss of so many options in both defense and attack will present a difficult challenge for the visiting team's coaching staff.
Forecast:With home advantage and a superior squad, Osasuna is given a 45% chance of winning. The probability of a draw is also 45%, while Mallorca's chances of causing an upset are only 10%. Overall, the most likely scenario is a draw or a win for the home team.
