Mallorca vs Osasuna: prediction for the La Liga
2023-12-21 20:30:01
La Liga
The last personal meeting between the teams took place on March 31, 2023, and ended with a score of 0:0. The statistics of personal meetings include 30 matches, in which Mallorca won in 9 matches, while Osasuna defeated the upcoming opponent 10 times, and 11 times the clubs did not determine the strongest. The goal difference between the hosts and the guests is (14-26). It remains to be seen whether the players can narrow this gap or if it will even increase.
Mallorca
November and December were not supposed to be like this for “Mallorca,” which faces a long and challenging battle for survival. Four consecutive matches in La Liga against opponents from the lower half of the table were a key opportunity for them to gather a significant number of points and earn a slight advantage over the relegation zone. However, three draws, including the inability to score against the league’s worst defense last weekend (0-0 away against “Almeria”), made them look back before the winter break. Head coach Javier Aguirre insists that the team “creates enough goal-scoring opportunities” and remains confident that their goal tally of three goals in nine La Liga games since early October will “explode.” Unavailable for the match are Lato, Muriki, Valiente, and Maskarell, who has a contusion.
Osasuna
No one would have felt more relief from Osasuna’s 1-0 victory over “Rayo Vallecano” over the weekend than head coach Jagoba Arrasate, whose over five-year tenure was in jeopardy due to a six-game winless streak in La Liga. “We needed this!” – he declared after the first league victory since October 20. Their two games on either side of the Christmas break, followed by a home game against winless “Almeria,” are also fantastic opportunities to increase their buffer from the bottom three, which at the start of this round is six points. Out of the game today are Mohika and Garcia, who has a muscle injury. More deep football analysis and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
Prediction
We believe that today both teams wouldn't mind securing a Christmas gift for their fans, and we are leaning towards the islanders. "Mallorca" performs well at home, and the support from the stands cannot be overlooked. The guests are not in the best form, especially when playing away, where the team hasn't been impressive. Moreover, "The Vermilions" have not suffered a home defeat since September. Our prediction is a victory for "Mallorca," and we bet on it with odds of 2.45. We believe that both teams will show maximum concentration in attack today, but it's unlikely to expect an abundance of goal-scoring opportunities. Additionally, both clubs will strive not to concede, as in such duels, one goal can often make all the difference. Furthermore, in the last three head-to-head matches, there were no more than two goals scored. Prediction — total under 2.5 goals. This option can be found at odds of 1.93. Place a bet with
