Mallorca vs Osasuna prediction 21.12.2023

• Competition: La Liga
• Date: Thursday, 21st December 2023
• Kickoff: 20:30 UK / 21:30 CET
• Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca)

Mallorca have only two wins this season. Still, thanks to nine draws in 17 matches, they are still above the relegation zone. Mallorca are in a good moment with five games without a defeat in all competitions. Last weekend, Javier Aguirre's team played 0-0 on the road against Almeria. Guests were much closer to the win as they had xG of 1.76, while the home side had only 0.29. Although Mallorca had domination, they again had problems with scoring, so the team from the Balearic Islands picked only a point. 

Osasuna are slightly better than Mallorca, so they are a mid-table team this season. Jagoba Arrasate's team was on the run of six games without a win until the last La Liga round, when they won 1-0 at home against Rayo Vallecano. Neither of the teams impressed in that game, but Osasuna's one good attack was good to take all three points and move up on the table. That win will help Osasuna regain some confidence, so they should have a good chance versus Mallorca on Thursday, too. 

Mallorca vs Osasuna pick: Under 2.5 goals

Mallorca allowed only two goals in the last six matches. Also, they went under 2.5 goals in five of those six games. On the other hand, Osasuna allowed two goals in the last three matches. Under 2.5 goals should be the most realistic bet for this tie.
