Mallorca is playing against Sporting tomorrow. No one really knows what to expect from Sporting this season. They were relegated to Segunda 2 years ago, after having spent a few years in Primera (their natural place is like Mallorca, in the lower end of Primera; although they've played more years in Primera than us, but we've been more succesful with a Copa title and some EL/CL appearances). Last season they had a dissapointing mid table finish, and this year they will try to aim for the promotion playoffs (3rd-6th place); they don't seem to have a team that's able to finish in the top 2 spots, but the team should be good enough to at least fight for those playoff spots. It won't be an easy game for Mallorca, wining in Gijón is not easy, and considering our current form an the fact that we will still probably field our keeper Aouate before he misses out on the net game due to hm having a game with the national team, I'm not very optimistic. I hope I'm wrong... our team IS better on paper, but we are going to need to step up if we don't want to loose another 3 points.
