Mallorca will be playing away against Formentera tomorrow.
Formentera are a very small club, that is now playing their first ever season in the third level. Without much of a successful history, they don't have a great fan base... but it has been growing over the last 2-3 years, due to their strong performances in the 4th level (eventually leading to promotion) and the fact that they are the best club in the final of Formentera (many locals now feel like they finally have a club to cheer for, since the strongest club in the Balearic Islands, Mallorca, isn't really representative of their island, and supporting teams like Madrid or Barça, while always a popular option, doesn't really have the same charm as regional identity).
So I expect a pretty good atmosphere in favour of the locals. Maybe they'll be hostile towards us and see us a as a regional enemy, or maybe they will see us as a frinedly team that does a good job at representing the Islands, we'll see.
What I do know is that they have a pretty weak squad that will fight to avoid relegation. Even though they've won twice away from home, they haven't won a single home game yet... so I hope they don't change the trend tomorrow :P
So far they've shown a great fighting spirit and attitude though, so even if they haven't been getting those wins, they've always put up a good fight, so we will have to be careful.
Formentera 1 - 1 Mallorca
Really complicated game, and awful to watch. Formentera's field is very small, and there was a lot of players bumping into each other, bad passes, lack of spaces and long balls. It reminded me of what it was like playing in my school's football field.
We missed a few chances that could have given us the win, but tbh the game was so awful that it could have gone either way in one of those random and confusing plays with a bunch of players crammed up fighting for the ball right in front of the goal.
