Real Mallorca coach Gregorio Manzano has praised Osasuna's board ahead of today's big clash.
Mallorca have built themselves a reputation as draw specialists but to escape the relegation battle they will need to start picking up three points.
And Manzano believes they could do a lot worse than looking at Osasuna for inspiration.
"The Osasuna board have given the coach confidence in a four-year project and the results are there to be seen," Manzano said.
"The club are fighting for a place in the Champions League which gives them tremendous support and they will do all they can to achieve this as they have nothing to lose.
"The problem that we have is in front of goal. We have tried different tactics on the pitch during training which I hope will start having an effect during games and we should not forget that we have not lost at home for a while and this is an important direction to keep going in."
With five games to go, striker Juan Arango believes that six points will be sufficient to see Mallorca remain in the top flight.
"Winning two games should be enough to save us but we need to keep going until the end," the Venezuelan said.
"It is true that we are not scoring enough goals at the moment but I cannot say why. We have to score more and it is just a case of taking advantage when they come, hopefully we will score the necessary goals in the final matches."
