Huge shock in X Factor market as Matt loses his place as favourite
Published:
At last, it seems, there may be a surprise on the cards in this year’s X Factor. While Matt Terry has led the way as favourite to win the competition since live shows began, there’s now a new act heading the market.
Step forward, Saara Aalto.
Yep, against all odds, Sharon Osbourne’s last remaining contestant is the new odds-on favourite for the X Factor crown – despite facing three Sing Offs earlier on in the series.
She stole the show last night, while long-time favourite Matt looked more nervous than we’ve ever seen him before.
And punters have backed the Finn into just 8/13 as a result, while Nicole Scherzinger’s act is next in the running at 7/4.
Meanwhile, both 5 After Midnight and Emily Middlemas are some way off Saara and Matt, at 9/1 and 33/1 respectively.
The latter is the 1/5 favourite to leave the competition this week, despite never finding herself in the Bottom Two.
That’s a position which 5 After Midnight found themselves in just last week, though, meaning there may well be some value in the 7/1 for them to leave the competition – especially if they end up in another Sing Off.
With so much at stake, we’re strapping ourselves in for an exciting night in the X Factor studios as we discover which three names will be battling it out in next week’s final.
Who do you think will win it? And who’ll go tonight?
