What the expert says...
Switzerland have previously been favourites and currently sit at 7/2 in the betting market
Switzerland had been cut into favourites to win Eurovision this year as recently as a month ago, but they've now gone back out to 7/2 to win.
The latest betting market sees Switzerland sit as second favourite in the odds list behind Croatia.
Swiss singer Nemo will be representing their country with the song "The Code" which is a masterpiece of musicality with opera, pop and rap all rolled into one.
Sweden will be kicking off the Eurovision Song Contest in their home country after being drawn in 1st spot
Sweden have been drawn in first place in this year's Eurovision Song Contest with Norwegian duo Marcus and Martinus representing the country in their home event this year.
Loreen won Eurovision for Sweden for the second time last year, after previously winning it back in 2012, and this meant that Sweden would host the event with Malmo's Malmo Arena the host venue.
Saturday night's final will see 26 finalists compete against each other to be crowned winner of the Eurovision Song Contest and the winner of the show will then go on to host next year's contest.
