Laudrup targets win with tough games ahead Real Mallorca coach Michael Laudrup has stressed the importance of the clash against Real Sociedad as his side look to put further distance between themselves and the relegation zone ahead of what promises to be a daunting run of fixtures next week. Mallorca started the weekend level on 31 points with Sociedad after beating Athletic Bilbao on Monday night - the club's first win in five matches - and both teams were nine points ahead of the bottom three. It looks a relatively healthy situation for Mallorca to be in, but with games against top six sides Barcelona, Espanyol and Valencia coming up in a seven-day spell next week, the Balearic Island outfit know they cannot afford to relax ahead of their trip to San Sebastian.
