Mallorca take on the visitors Fiorentina in the round 23 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 9th at Estadi Mallorca Son Moix (Palma de Mallorca).
Mallorca have had bright moments in their history—just think back to the days of Samuel Eto’o and Héctor Cúper. However, not too long ago, the club was considered something of an "elevator team," unable to spend even two consecutive years in the same division, let alone maintain a steady presence in La Liga. Everything changed with the arrival of Javier Aguirre, who took over in what seemed like a hopeless situation. He managed to avoid relegation in 2022 and led the team to a top-half finish the following season. Yes, they slipped a bit in the 2023/2024 campaign, but it wasn’t critical, largely because they focused on their impressive Copa del Rey run, where they reached the final, though they lost to Athletic Bilbao. After the summer, Aguirre returned from Pamplona and has helped the team improve significantly—they’re once again battling to stay in the top flight. However, 2025 started with a rough patch, including a shocking 0-3 loss to modest Pontevedra in the cup. A similar thrashing followed against Real Madrid in the Supercopa. After that, they suffered defeats in La Liga against both Villarreal and Real Betis. A 0-2 loss to Atlético Madrid was expected but still added to their woes. Despite these setbacks, Mallorca has shown resilience in recent home games, making them a tough opponent to beat on their turf.

Osasuna still have a shot at European football. Los Rojillos have recently been a textbook example of a "manager’s team." For years, they struggled to escape Segunda División, but everything changed under Jagoba Arrasate, who not only secured promotion to La Liga but also established the club as a solid mid-table side. Their peak came in the 2022/2023 season, with a Copa del Rey final appearance and a 7th-place league finish. However, they slumped afterward, crashing out of the Conference League qualifiers at the first hurdle and delivering mediocre results in La Liga. This led to a managerial change in the summer. Vicente Moreno took over and started brightly, including a notable victory over Barcelona. In the cup, they knocked out defending champions Athletic Bilbao away in January, although they fell to Real Sociedad in the following round. Interestingly, they managed to defeat La Real in the league just before that. With recent wins against strong opponents, Osasuna has been gaining momentum, making them a serious contender for a European spot.
Los Bermellones went three games unbeaten against Osasuna. However, in August, Los Rojillos finally broke that streak, defeating their former manager’s new team. The hosts are still considered the favorites, but the visitors have been looking more solid, especially in recent weeks. Back Osasuna to avoid defeat.
Prediction for the match: Osasuna not to lose (X2).
