Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna play host to Mallorca at their Estadio El Sadar in the La Liga round 2. Osasuna played out a 1-1 draw with Leganes in the opening match of their Primera Division campaign, but it has to be noted that they failed to turn their dominance into victory. Iker Munoz is a major doubt after limping off with injury at the weekend, with Jon Moncayola likely to replace him in the starting XI.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, did remarkably well to hold star-studded Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw in their opener. Considering that Osasuna are tough to beat at home, yet another share of spoils is on the horizon. You should bear in mind that the two sides played out a 1-1 draw in their last meeting in Pamplona. As for the away team, talented forward Javier Llabres remains on the sidelines with injury, while Jagoba Arrasate has no fresh injury worries.

Osasuna are a Basque football team that plays in Spanish La Liga. Los Rojillos are based in Pamplona and and the club were founded in 1920. Estadio El Sadar has been the home of Osasuna since 1967 and the capacity of the stadium is 19,800.
The colour of Osasuna’s home kit is red, while the team’s shorts are navy blue. Los Rojillos dropped to the Segunda Division at the end of the 2013/2014 La Liga campaign, but they did not spend too many time in the Spanish second tier. The club returned to the elite division in 2016 after beating Girona in the play-offs.
