Being a favorite is one thing. In games, sports and competitions there is always a favorite. More so in a final, despite the accommodating tricks of the ‘analysts’ to distribute the burdens and ensure that they win with a bang. Usually, ‘the logic’ of the favorite prevails.

It is the team with the most clean sheets in the tournament.
