Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Chances of Winning
Gloucestershire took on Sussex in their previous match and although they were performing on a highly competitive level, they still managed to fall short. Batting first, the visitors piled on a score of 417 runs with the help of Ben Charlesworth, Miles Hammond, James Bracey and Zafar Gohar who each scored 62, 56, 69 and 60 runs, respectively. Sussex made light work of this and edged past with a score of 479 runs. Gloucestershire fought back to score an additional 205 runs but it was not enough to keep Sussex at bay who chased it down and won by four wickets.
Middlesex, on the other hand, had a successful outing against Yorkshire in their last game. Yorkshire were put to bat first and seemed to struggle against Middlesex’s bowling, having been bowled out for 159 runs. Middlesex surpassed them but stayed at a low total of 246 runs. With a sizable lead over their opponents, Yorkshire began to experience pressure and added 244 runs before they succumbed again. Middlesex did have a bit of trouble in chasing down the total but they eventually made it over the line by six wickets.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Betting Tips
Middlesex to score low before first dismissal
Middlesex’s opening order has taken a downturn from the start of the season. Their trajectory looks unfavorable as Sam Robson and Mark Stoneman kicked off the first match with a partnership of 79 runs. However, Robson has been substituted for Nathan Fernandes in the past two matches and the situation has worsened. The openers scored 33 runs together against Northamptonshire but ended their partnerships against Yorkshire with 18 runs and one run in the previous match. Middlesex have a lot of ground to make up and it will be difficult for them to progress if they continue in their current plight.
Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Toss Prediction
The last match hosted at County Ground in Bristol was between Glocuestershire and Yorkshire where the home side elected to field first. Yorkshire pulled away with a massive lead and Glocuestershire were trailing quite far behind. The latter did stay afloat to draw the result but their chances were looking bleak. The toss winner will want to bat first after Yorkshire’s commanding total.
Weather Report

Gloucestershire Team Form
Gloucestershire have a lot of recouping to do after their defeat in the previous match. Their batting order is solid but their bowling unit needs to work on being more conservative since it is evidently costing them.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Betting Odds
Gloucestershire to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex
Middlesex’s opening duo took turns to be dismissed in their previous match against Yorkshire as Nathan Fernandes was the first to collapse in the first innings and Mark Stoneman was shown the way out in the second innings. During the first innings, the pair settled for a partnership of 18 runs but things went further south the second time around since they added a single run to the first wicket before facing an early dismissal. Gloucestershire were only marginally better than their counterpart as they scored 49 runs against Sussex in the first innings and brought an end to their partnership after 12 runs in the second innings. However, they still stand a better chance than Middlesex of achieving a convincing opening stand.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Best Bowlers
Zafar Gohar to be Gloucestershire’s Best Bowler
Zafar Gohar played his first game against Sussex and turned heads with his brilliant spells. He captured three wickets in the first innings which was on par with the others but he put a major dent in the opposition’s batting during the second innings, wherein he took five wickets. With eight wickets in just two innings, he is the top choice for the next game.
Ryan Higgins to be Middlesex’s Best Bowler
Ryan Higgins stands tied as Middlesex’s top wicket-taker with eight wickets in four innings. He was the leading wicket-taker against Yorkshire as he claimed four wickets in the first innings and took three more in the second innings. He also maintains an average of 26.00, the best of the team, and he will be relied upon to make an impact again.
