Lugo take on the visitors Reus Deportiu at "Anxo Carro" in the opening matchday of the LaLiga2. The game will be played on Monday, August 21st.
Lugo finished last season sitting on the ninth position in the table with 55 points earned and 49-55 goal difference. In summer the side participated in couple friendly clashes resulting in 1:0 victory over Leonesa and 0:1 loss to Mallorca. Judging from the previous season's statistics, Lugo are the team which shows close football and summer encounters only proved the defensive style of the side which will be maximum a mid-table performer of the second Spanish football tier in the upcoming season.

Reus Deportiu settled on the 11th place of the LaLiga2 standings of 2016/2017 season with 55 points gained and 31-29 goal difference. The visitors were beaten by their upcoming hosts only in the mini-tournaments, having finished the season two positions lower than Lugo. In summer Reus Deportiu conducted four matches with not a single win in them, still, it should be noted that they faced solid clubs: Villarreal 0:1, Athletic Bilbao 0:3, Girona 0:0 which represented the LaLiga while just Valencia B were the team of the same level with a clash ended in 2:2 draw. If Lugo show close football, then Reus Deportiu are the total defense as the team scores not too many goals while concedes even less.
The rivals met twice in their history: last season the opponents swopped by the home victories with 1:0 and 2:1 scorelines. I believe that none should expect for two admirers of the rock-solid defense will combine a number of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
