LEI vs SUR Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The 44th Match of the County Championship 2021 is scheduled to take place between Surrey and Leicestershire. The match will take place at Grace Road in Leicester on May 6. I have collated the top LEI vs SUR match predictions to help you win from the game.

Leicestershire have been playing abysmally, and are currently at last place in their division without a single win. Surrey have managed to hold their own this season, and won 1 game, lost 2, and drew 1. While the last head-to-head match between the two teams was a draw, Leicestershire had to fight really hard to get the draw. Leicestershire had come to bat first and scored 375 runs from their 10 wickets. Surrey then followed that with a first innings score of 672-8 and declared at that point, in order to try to win the match. Ollie Pope was the player of the innings, with a double century! He scored a total of 245 runs from 272 balls, which is just 6 runs short of his personal best score. Leicestershire had Hasan Azad (144*) and Lewis Hill (69*) holding the 2nd innings and they scored a total of 295/3 when the 4th day ended and the match drew. I have hand-picked the top LEI vs SUR match predictions and betting tips from the game.

LEI vs SUR Team Bets

The oddsmakers have not come up with player bets for the pre-game. I have looked at the teams' play and picked the top LEI vs SUR team betting tips from the game for you.

Leicestershire to have the Highest Score at 1st Dismissal

This is the bet with the best odds in the upcoming LEI vs SUR head to head match. Leicestershire so far have opened with four different batsmen this season. Samuel Evans. Hasan Azad, Marcus Harris, and Alex Evans have all opened for Leicestershire this season. Their partnerships in the 1st innings this season, have been excellent with the exception of when they faced Gloucestershire, and their first game against Hampshire. They have scored a total of 185 runs from their opening partnerships in the 4 first innings. This averages 46.25 and they had 2 games where they beat their opponents, including their previous game against Surrey.

Surrey have been opening with Rory Burns and Mark Stoneman in all their 4 games this season. While the batsmen have opened decently, they were nowhere close to their opponents. This is especially since Surrey tend to concede more runs than their opponents in all the games. In the last game against Leicestershire, Surrey managed to get 43 runs while conceding 130 runs from the opening partnerships. They also managed to score only 104 runs from their 1st innings in the 4 games this season, at an average of just 26.00. Surrey have also conceded 467 runs from 8 innings, at an average of 58.375. Leicestershire, on the other hand, have conceded only 166 runs from 6 innings, at an average of 27.67. This is the most profitable LEI vs SUR match prediction. Sportsbet.io has odds of 2.06 for Leicestershire to get the highest score at 1st dismissal.

Surrey to score under 32.5 runs at the 1st Dismissal

I mentioned that Rory Burns and Mark Stoneman have not been performing as well when it comes to holding the opening partnership. They have scored a total 161 runs from their opening partnerships in 6 innings this season. This averages 26.833 from the 4 games for the openers and they have only scored over the target in 2 of the 6 innings. This season, while Rory Burns has played decently, Mark Stoneman has just not been able to stay on the crease in his games. Rory Burns has gotten out first in 2 of the 6 innings, while Stoneman has been the 1st wicket in 4 of the 6 games.

Mark Stoneman has scored just 101 runs from his 6 innings, at an average of just 16.83. While he has a top score of 44 runs this season, he has gotten out below 18 runs in most of his games. As a result, Surrey have not managed to score over 32.5 runs in 4 of their 6 innings, and 3 of their 4 first innings. This is another one of the winning LEI vs SUR match predictions. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Surrey to score under 32.5 runs at their 1st Dismissal in the 1st innings.

Surrey to win the game

The last bet I have picked for you might not have the best odds, but definitely is the easiest winning bet in the upcoming match. While Leicestershire might have been opening well, they have not been playing in form this season at all. Leicestershire have not managed to win a single game yet, and lost 3 of the 4 games they played. While they managed to draw their previous match against Surrey, they lost by an innings to Hampshire. They did not play well against Gloucestershire and Somerset, and lost to the two teams as well. They are at the bottom of Group 2 with just 25 points to their name.

Surrey have been playing pretty decently this season and while they lost to Middlesex and Gloucestershire, they pulled off an innings win against Hampshire in their previous match. They are in 4th position this season with 46 points to their name and are leading against Leicestershire by 21 points. This is going to be a clear win for Surrey, and this is another one of the top LEI vs SUR match predictions. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.35 for Surrey to win the game.
