9. Beric Dondarrion

Beric was the one who singled out the Night King to Jon, which at the very least established the potential for him to attempt to take out the White Walkers' leader.

Beric is a highly skilled warrior, but it no doubt requires more than ability with a sword to take down the Night King. Luckily, the Lightning Lord just so happens to have a bit of magic within him too. Although it was Thoros of Myr who brought him back, it means Beric has the Lord of Light on his side, or in other words is backed by the fire god in his battle against ice.

He's difficult to kill, a good fighter, has a flaming sword, and knows the Night King needs taking out. Which probably means he will have died at the Wall after all, but if not, he's an outside bet to take down the King.
