Glasgow are 1/2 favourites to host Eurovision with the shortlist down to the final two
Scottish city Glasgow is the 1/2 bookies favourite to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest with the shortlist down to just two.
Liverpool are the other city in contention to host the famous show, which will be hosted in the UK next year.
William Hill give Glasgow a 66.7% chance of hosting the Song Contest with the final decision set to be made "within weeks" according to the BBC.
| Eurovision Song Contest Host | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Glasgow | 1/2 | 66.7% |
| Liverpool | 13/8 | 38.1% |
Glasgow were as short as 1/5 at one point to host Eurovision but have drifted slightly to 1/2 after the shortlist was cut right down.
Both have riverside venues which has seemingly contributed to the BBC's decision so far.
Liverpool are 13/8 to host next year's Eurovision Song Contest
Liverpool are the other city in contention to host Eurovision next year and it's no doubt that it has massive musical history.
If Liverpool win the bidding, Eurovision will be held at the 11,000 dockside M&S Bank Arena.
Whichever venue wins will need to wipe its schedule for six to eight weeks ahead of the Song Contest with preparations set to last that long.
