Mallorca appeared comfortably placed in mid-table after taking eight points from four games at the start of March, but just one point from their last three outings, combined with the improved form of several of the teams below them, means there is still work to do for the Balearic club. They head into Thursday's trip to struggling Racing Santander in 15th in the table, seven points above Real Zaragoza and the relegation zone.
Racing's bid to escape the drop has not been helped by a spate of red cards, with six coming in their last 12 league matches. Racing coach Alvaro Cervera said: "We cannot play so many games with only 10 players. It's not even that we are a man down for less than 10 minutes, it's usually been for around half the match and this is a burden that Racing cannot allow.
