Fresh from booking their spot in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Mallorca will resume their La Liga campaign with a clash against Real Betis on Saturday night.
Mallorca beat La Liga leaders Girona 3-2 in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey on Wednesday evening, while Real Betis will enter the match off the back of a 4-2 loss to Barcelona in the league.
Mallorca were certainly the underdogs entering Wednesday's Copa del Rey quarter-final with a team that has hardly missed a step this season, but Javier Aguirre's side were 3-0 ahead inside 35 minutes on home soil and resisted a late comeback from Girona to record a 3-2 success.
The Pirates therefore have a Copa del Rey semi-final to look forward to, but they cannot afford to take their eye off the ball in La Liga, with the team currently down in 15th position in the table.
Aguirre's side finished ninth in Spain's top flight last term, but they have struggled for consistency this season, only winning three of their 21 matches in the competition, drawing a league-high 11 times.
