Mallorca vs Osasuna prediction, preview, team news and more | La Liga 2021-22

Beleaguered Mallorca will be looking to pick up the pieces from a devastating loss in their last game when Osasuna come to Son Moix on Sunday for a clash in La Liga.

Back in the top-flight after a year in the second division, Les Pirates were thrashed 6-1 by Real Madrid on Thursday, their heaviest defeat this season yet.

It was also their second of the league season, and they were condemned to 11th in the standings with only eight points from six games.

Much to their relief, Los Rojillos aren't firing at all cylinders either, having registered an identical record of two wins, draws and defeats each from six games so far.

But lately, they've been atrocious, particularly at home, conceding seven goals against Valencia and Real Betis.

Osasuna

Enrique Barja is the only notable absentee for Osasuna after picking up a knock in the last game. Ante Budimir and Javier Ontiveros are doubts for the game.

A regular goalscorer for them, he'll obviously be a huge miss, with Luis Ezequiel "Chimy" Avila likely to take his spot in the attack.
