Mallorca will be playing away against CD Ebro tomorrow.
Ebro is a very small club that until the beginning of this century had never been above the 5th level of spanish football. A tiny club with no history that is based in Zaragoza (which already has a much bigger and succesful club), obviously has no fans. However they've progressed over the years thanks to an investment group, and they are in the process of stabilizing themselves in the 3rd level. They've been pretty inconsistent so far, showing some really good and really bad performances, but they'll probably somewhere in the middle of the table.
This could be a complicated game if Ebro has one of their good days, but we should still win. 3 points would be really sweet, because we're about to enter the roughest part of the calendar, and face some of the strongest teams in the group soon.
Ebro 0 - 2 Mallorca
Another easy game. We completely steamrolled them in the first half, and they were lucky to only be 2 goals down. In the second half we relaxed and there were very few chances for either teams... pretty boring last 45 minutes.
So, 25/27 points so far, keeping clean sheets in all but one game. Very solid stuff, but tbf we've mostly faced mid to low table teams. Next week, against second placed Villarreal B, will be a more serious test. Beating them would be huge as it would give us a 7 point lead!
