Rak-Su one of shortest-ever faves for X Factor final

Rak-Su head into Saturday’s X Factor final as one of our shortest-ever priced favourites.

The boyband have been leading the way for several weeks. Now we’re down to the last three and they’re overwhelming 4/9 favourites to be crowned champions.

There’s even been a massive £5,000 wager on the boys to win, showing the level of support they’ve got.

Grace Davies is in second spot at 3/1, while Kevin Davy White is the 8/1 outsider.

Looking further ahead, Saturday’s winner looks set to lose out in the battle for the Christmas number one.

Ed Sheeran and Beyonce’s collaboration is 4/7 to be top of the charts on December 25th.

The X Factor winner and Wham! are both at 5/1.

Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: “Punters fell out of love with Grace weeks ago, so with Rak Su peaking at the right time, it would be a huge surprise to see them fall at the final hurdle as they are the overwhelming favourites with both viewers and punters.”
