Middlesex to start as favourites
After beating Essex by four runs in their previous fixture at Lord's, Middlesex are set to be in action against Surrey at the same venue on August 2.

This South Group fixture is scheduled to begin at 1:30 PM local time.
Read on for our betting tips and match prediction on Middlesex vs Surrey Royal London One-Day Cup 2016....
Paul Stirling has been their best batsman this year with two centuries and one fifty. He recently scored 58 and 112 against Somerset and Kent respectively and has a good chance to top-score against Surrey. With Morgan being ruled out due to injury, Middlesex will need Gubbins and Bailey to score in the middle order.
Toby Roland-Jones is having a great time with the ball having taken 12 wickets in his 5 matches while James Franklin with 11 wickets is also doing a good job. The two fast bowlers took four and three wickets respectively in the last match and they are going to be the key assets for Middlesex in their bowling attack.
Majority of their runs will have to be fetched by Roy, Finch, Davies and Burns. Rory Burns is in top form with a fifty in each of his last four innings. Averaging around 84 at the moment, he should be backed to score the most against Middlesex. Surrey will want him to carry his brilliant form into this match in addition to decent contributions from the top three.
Gareth Batty is ranking among the tournament's top 10 bowlers. The off-spinner claimed a five-wicket haul against Gloucestershire, and with 12 wickets in 5 matches, he will be Surrey's best bet to rattle Middlesex. Stuart Meaker and Jade Dernbach have done well in the last two games with four and seven wickets respectively. These two fast bowlers along with Batty are likely to deliver a good performance on Tuesday.
Middlesex and Surrey have gone face-to-face only once in the Royal London One-Day Cup. Played at this very ground back in 2014 (the tournament's inaugural edition), the hosts went on to win that match comfortably by six wickets. They will meet again on Tuesday and this will be the final league match for both the teams. Surrey will need to ensure a victory in this match in order to keep their hopes for the quarter-finals alive. If they manage to overcome Glamorgan today, they will give themselves an excellent opportunity to win against Middlesex with three wins in a row.
Surrey have many match-winners in their side and their batting and bowling lineup looks good on paper. But Middlesex have been a tad better than them this year and so we're predicting them to emerge winners in this match and seal their place in the playoffs.
