The current favourites - Rhythmix

"In a tight betting heat Tulisa Contostavlos's young charges are given a less than 50% chance of winning the much-coveted prize at odds of [2.18]."

Girl groups never win the X Factor, do they? Well, if the Betfair market is right that's what will happen on Sunday night...

Betfair customers make girl group Rhythmix (formerly Little Mix) the likely winners of Sunday's X Factor final.

But in a tight betting heat Tulisa Contostavlos's young charges are given a less than 50% chance of winning the much-coveted prize at odds of [2.18].

Second favourite of the three remaining acts is, controversially enough, Amelia Lily. The 16-year-old singer was parachuted into the show midway through the series to replace disgraced Frankie Cocozza, despite being sent home by mentor Kelly Rowland in week one's big twist.

The 'outsider' in the betting is Gary Barlow's last remaining hope Marcus Collins. A long time favourite, Collins has slipped from a low of [2.32] to his current price of [3.95].

However, given the undoubted talent the Scouser possesses he could be the main mover in the betting on the final weekend if he serves up his best stuff.

If you're still making up your mind, drop in on BB in the run-up to the final weekend as Mike Norman, Eliot Pollak, The Betfair Contrarian and Jack Houghton will all have their say before the hopefuls/dancers/judges/Dermot Leary/excitable crowd/a-list singer etc are wheeled out one last time.
