Mallorca will be playing home against Llagostera tomorrow. Half a year ago I wrote this about them:

Mallorca will be playing away against UE Llagostera tomorrow.
Llagostera has spent the vast majority of their history in the deepest catacombs of the spanish football pyramid. In the late 90s they were playing in the 9th level, and 5 years ago they were celebrating their first ever promotion to the 4th level. It should also be noted that their town (Llagostera), with apopulation of 8k people, is the smallest to ever have a team in the top 2 levels of spanish football. Their stadium is still regional-tier worthy, so they have to play their home games in a neighbouring city.
It's really, really crazy to see them all the way up in Segunda. They promoted last season after winning their group, where all the leading teams were awfully inconsistent and there was a lot of shifting in the top positions; they took the lead in the last week of the season.
And apparently they don't have amazingly rich owners, they've just been doing a really good job.
Obviously, they have by far the lowest budget in the league and they are expected to relegate.... however they've been doing well so far and are currently 1 point above the relegation zone..
And I'm amazed to say that they are still doing really well and above the relegation zone. They in fact look more solid than ever and have been in really good form over the last 2 months...
We need to beat them though... if we can't beat Llagostera in our own stadium we don't deserve to fight for promotion.
