Jagoba Arrasate has indicated that he will be making some changes to the starting XI from his side's loss last week. Siebe Van der Heyden remains a doubt with a muscle strain while Valery Fernández is nursing an illness and is not an option here.

Txuri-Urdin are winless in their last three league games, suffering two losses, and have failed to score in their last two games. Interestingly, they are unbeaten in their two away games this season. They have won three of their last four away league meetings against Mallorca, scoring six goals, and will look to build on that form.

Javi López picked up an injury against Real Madrid and is a confirmed absentee for head coach Imanol Alguacil. Mikel Oyarzabal was an unused substitute against Real Madrid and is likely to be benched here again.

Considering the current form of the two teams, a low-scoring draw will likely ensue.
