Essex vs Worcestershire Chance of Winning

Essex had an underwhelming campaign last term and much like last season they have had a dismal start to the campaign this term. In the opening game, they lost against Nottinghamshire by 51 runs and in the last game they struggled against Hampshire as they lost back to back games and are currently eighth on the table.

Worcestershire went head to head against Nottinghamshire in the opening game of the season and it could end up being the game of the tournament as the match was tied and both sides managed to share the spoils. As per our calculations, Worcestershire are favourites in the upcoming game.

  • Essex ’ chances of winning - 38%
  • Worcestershire’ chances of winning - 62%

Essex vs Worcestershire Betting Odds

Worcestershire to have a better opening partnership than Essex

Essex and Worcestershire go head to head in this game after both sides had contrasting campaigns last season. Essex struggled for consistency last season as they managed just three wins last season and missed the playoffs. This season once again has been a struggle so far as they have lost back to back games and are yet to register a points thus far. On the other hand, Worcestershire head into this game after a tie against Nottinghamshire in the opening game. They were brilliant in the group stages last season and we expect them to make the playoffs once again this season. We believe Worcestershire bowlers will dominate with the new ball and they will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Worcestershire

Worcestershire had an incredible campaign last season as they ended up second on the table and made the playoffs. On the other hand, Essex struggled last season and have lost back to back games thus far which is why the bookmakers have favoured Worcestershire and you should do the same as they will register a comfortable win come Aug 10.
