Betting Eurovision 2025 - Predictions
Sweden leads the Eurovision betting odds, but the other favourites, Austria, Israel, and France, have had strong finishes in recent years, so the top spot is far from secure.
However, we are still weeks away from the competition, so you shouldn't underestimate any country. Italy is the best example - it doesn't have great odds, but the star-studded lineup at the Sanremo Festival could produce a strong entry that changes the game.
The predictions will keep changing, so keep an eye out for the latest odds of the Eurovision singing contest at Betsson.
