Lisci: "Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada" El entrenador de Osasuna, Alessio Lisci, destacó la relevancia del partido contra el Mallorca, especialmente tras la derrota en Mestalla. "Estamos con muchas ganas. El partido, más que importante, es importantísimo. La palabra puede que sea trascendental, y me gustaría que ese fuera el titular porque, en caso de ganar mañana, estaríamos virtualmente salvados. Serían doce puntos por encima del descenso y el golaverage a principios de marzo", explicó. Además, subrayó que "no debe darse por hecho, es muy importante. Este partido puede marcar un antes y un después en la temporada. Quiero pedirle a la afición que haya el mismo ambiente que frente al Real Madrid, que sé que no es fácil, pero tenemos que estar todos con la misma mentalidad de sacarlo como sea y estar enchufados". A pesar de la importancia del duelo, Lisci rechazó llamarlo "final", ya que "las finales o las pierdes o las ganas y existe la opción del empate", aunque consideró que "es lo que más se acerca a una final". El técnico también mencionó la vuelta de Aimar Oroz, indicando que "no fuimos capaces de solventar su baja, como pasó ante el Villarreal. Esperamos que esté siempre y es importante recuperarlo, él es importantísimo". Además, añadió que "es uno más y, ya solo por matemática, tenemos más banquillo a nuestra disposición". Lisci no quiso enfatizar la estadística de seis partidos seguidos sin perder en casa, ya que "las estadísticas positivas, tarde o temprano, se rompen". Sin embargo, reconoció que "nosotros tenemos que dar nuestra mejor versión porque los rivales vienen con otra mentalidad a El Sadar, saben que es un partido difícil".#real_madrid #osasuna #mallorca #martin_demichelis #alessio_lisci

Meanwhile, Mallorca’s forward Vedat Muriqi has shown a marked improvement in recent encounters with Osasuna, scoring three goals in their last two meetings after failing to find the net in their first four matches against the Navarros. Osasuna, on the other hand, has a strong record against Mallorca, having only lost two of their 26 home games against the Catalan side. The team’s local form is exceptional, with a 43.4% draw rate in La Liga matches against Mallorca, the second-highest percentage against a single opponent. Rubén García, Osasuna’s forward, has been a key threat, scoring three goals in 10 La Liga matches against Mallorca, a record high for a single rival. The match also carries implications for both teams’ broader campaigns. Osasuna has struggled to score in the first 15 minutes of second-half play this season, with no goals recorded in the opening quarter of the second half.#osasuna #mallorca #martin_demichelis #vedat_muriqi #estadio_el_sadar
