Sussex 2/1 to secure Division One status with victory

Sussex have the toughest challenge among the three relegation-threatened sides in the LV= Championship to pull off the victory needed to ensure their First Division status, according to bet365.com.

Sussex are offered at 2/1 to pull off a victory at Headingley against a Yorkshire side who have already won the Championship. Somerset, 10/11 to beat Warwickshire on their own ground at Taunton, and Hampshire, viewed as a 6/4 chance against NottinghamshIre at Trent Bridge, both are seen as having better victory chances.

Sussex will be relieved, however, that they might not actually need victypry to keep them safe. A nine-point draw would be enough - and potentially less than that if Hampshire and Somerset do not achieve maximum points.
