Semi-Final 2 Is Here And Last Night Set the Bar Extremely High
Semi-Final 1 of Eurovision 2026 delivered one of the most entertaining opening nights in recent memory, with ten nations sailing through to Saturday's Grand Final at the Wiener Stadthalle in Vienna.
Finland, Greece, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland all qualified, with Finland's "Liekinheitin" widely regarded as the standout performance of the evening, confirming Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen as the outright tournament favourites heading into the weekend.
Tonight, attention turns to the second semi-final, and bet365 have a fresh and fascinating winner market for what promises to be another extraordinary evening of European television.

Denmark and Australia: Back-to-Back in the Running Order, Head-to-Head in the Market
The most compelling storyline in tonight's betting market is the proximity of the two frontrunners in the running order.
Denmark's Søren Torpegaard Lund performs "Før vi går hjem" tenth, with Australia's Delta Goodrem following immediately in position eleven with "Eclipse", a back-to-back pairing that could create one of the most memorable sequences of the entire semi-final.
In Eurovision terms, this kind of direct adjacency in the running order can either amplify both entries by creating momentum or create an unfavourable comparison that damages one at the expense of the other.
The market currently rates Denmark marginally ahead at 9/5 versus Australia's 2/1, a gap small enough to suggest genuine uncertainty about which of the two will emerge as the semi-final's dominant force.
