In an exciting matchup for Matchday 23 of LaLiga, Real Mallorca will host CA Osasuna at the Visit Mallorca Estadi. Currently, Mallorca sits in ninth place on the league table, amassing a total of 30 points through nine victories, three draws, and ten defeats. The team is eager to end a troubling streak of three consecutive losses in the league and aims to secure a much-needed win on home soil.
Conversely, Osasuna occupies the eighth position in the standings, sharing the same points total with Mallorca but surpassing them due to a superior goal difference. After a recent victory over Real Sociedad in their last league outing, Osasuna faced disappointment when they were eliminated by the same team in the Copa del Rey just a day prior. This match promises to be crucial for both teams, as they seek to assert their dominance and claim all three points, making it a must-watch event for fans and neutrals alike.
Real Mallorca: Time to Reverse the Trend
Entering this weekend's match, Real Mallorca is positioned in the upper half of the table, but they have fallen short of European qualification spots following their recent slide. Their three-game losing streak has raised concerns, although their overall performance level has not gone unnoticed.
The first loss in this unfortunate series was a heavy 4-0 defeat against Villarreal, with all four goals conceded in the first half-hour. Despite this setback, Mallorca showed resilience, performing well for the remaining hour of the match. They then faced Real Betis, where they battled valiantly but ultimately fell short while playing with ten men. Last week, they faced a challenging encounter against Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano, which added another defeat to their record.
Osasuna: Recovering from Cup Disappointment
For Osasuna, the management change from Jago Arrasate to Vicente Moreno has raised expectations. While many predicted a relegation battle for the Pamplona-based side, they surprisingly find themselves just ahead of Mallorca on goal difference as they head into this match.
In midweek, Osasuna encountered a setback in the Copa del Rey, losing 2-0 to Real Sociedad in the quarter-finals. This came just days after they had secured a 2-1 victory against the same opponents in LaLiga, breaking a frustrating nine-match winless streak in league play. The team will be looking to bounce back from this cup disappointment and build momentum in the league.
