• Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: La Liga Match on 04.06.2023

Girona will look to leapfrog Osasuna on the table with a win; they will also look to keep the chasing pack at bay and bolster their top-half position on the La Liga table. 

Key Highlights

Can Osasuna Keep Their 7th-Place Spot?

Osasuna have been in inconsistent form, which has hurt their chances of challenging for European places. 

In the last five matches, they have won two matches and lost three. They have collected six and dropped nine points. This run has seen sixth-placed Real Betis open a nine-point gap to Osasuna, making it impossible for them to challenge for the final European place in La Liga.

However, Osasuna will be looking to hold on to seventh spot in the season’s final game. This is because, with 50 points, they are level on points with 8th-placed Athletic Club and one point ahead of Girona, Rayo Vallecano, and Sevilla. 

With a loss on the final day, Osasuna can finish as low as 12 on the table if other matches go against them. This underscores the importance of Sunday’s clash with Girona. 

Can Girona Improve on their Current 9th-Place on the Final Day?

Girona currently sit 9th on the table with 49 points. They are just a point behind their Sunday opponents Osasuna. A win will see them leapfrog Osasuna on the table and bolster their position in the final standings of the La Liga table.

In their last five outings, Girona have won just one match. They have not won in their last four assignments, finishing with two draws and two defeats. The four-match winless run has hampered their ability to make headway up the La Liga table in the business end. 

They will be hoping to bolster their position on the log when they travel to face Osasuna on Sunday. Three teams behind Girona on the table have the ability to catch up and leapfrog them. This highlights the importance of the final clash at Osasuna on Sunday for Girona and their top-half hopes.
