Somerset vs Sussex Betting Tips
Somerset has a talented pool of batters in the team. Lewis Goldsworthy is a top notch batter in their squad with the support of Andrew Umeed and Sean Dickson in the team. They are coming off a defeat and will be keen climbing up the points table.
Sussex has batters like Cheteshwar Pujara and Tom Haines to carry their batting bid in the forthcoming fixture. However, they will need to work better with their bowlers. Jack Carson is the top wicket-taker of the team but the other bowlers in the team are not doing as well as him.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Somerset
Somerset lost their first game against Warwickshire but their hopes went elevated when they registered their first win in the competition playing against Worcestershire. However, it did not last long as they were humiliated by Northamptonshire in the third game. Batting first, NOR scored 415 runs in 50 overs. Prithvi Shaw scored 244 runs for NOR, one of the highest recorded innings in the format. Chasing the target, Somerset could only muster 328 runs while losing all their wickets in the game. Ultimately SOM lost the game by 87 runs.
Meanwhile, Sussex were pretty decent with the bat in the three games they have played. But their bowling order led them to lose all those fixtures one by one. In their last game, they scored 299 runs in their clash with Derbyshire. However, they could not hold DER at bay and conceded 302 runs in the game, hence, losing the game by 8 wickets.
In their last five head-to-head contests, Somerset managed to win three of them while Sussex bagged two wins. Somerset will be favourites for this fixture with a better batting and bowling order. However, Sussex needs to work better on their bowling attack. In their last game, they were only able to pick 2 wickets of Derbyshire. Both the sides are placed next to each other and will be interesting to see them battle it out in the upcoming game.
