Connolly is the betting favourite to win this year's Eurosong and represent Ireland at Eurovision
Eurosong 2023 is Ireland's national format to pick who will represent them at the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest later this year.
Six finalists will compete against each other at Eurosong 2023 and it is Connolly who is the 15/8 favourite with bookies to win Eurosong and represent Ireland.
The 20-year-old singer Jennifer Connolly, known by her stage name Connolly, is given a 34% chance of winning Eurosong according to William Hill's latest odds.
| Eurosong 2023 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Connolly | 15/8 | 34.8% |
| Wild Youth | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Leila Jane | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| ADGY | 4/1 | 20.0% |
| Public Image Ltd | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| K Muni and ND | 20/1 | 4.8% |
Dublin-based indie-pop band Wild Youth are the second favourites in the betting with their single 'We Are One' at odds of 5/2.
John Lydon's Public Image Ltd are one of the outsiders in the betting
Public Image Ltd are the band that Sex Pistols singer John Lydon formed after the band split in the late 70s and they're 11/2 to represent Ireland by winning Eurosong.
Their song Hawaii is described as "a love letter to Lydon's wife of nearly five decades who is living with Alzheimer's" and dedicated to everyone going through tough times.
A win for Public Image Ltd would be a shock but stranger things have happened and Lydon's popularity may well win them Eurosong.

Ukraine are the bookies favourites to win Eurovision this year which will be held in Liverpool
Ukraine are the outright favourites to win Eurovision still as they have been since the betting market was introduced after last year's winning performance.
Ukraine's inability to host the Song Contest due to the ongoing conflict with Russia means that the United Kingdom will host the award show.
The UK have drifted right out in the betting market though from the 6/1 they were last month to 10/1 and 6th favourites to win the Song Contest this year.
| Eurovision Song Contest 2023 winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Ukraine | 11/4 | 26.7% |
| Sweden | 11/2 | 15.4% |
| Czech Republic | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Finland | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Italy | 17/2 | 10.5% |
