Sweden are the clear favourites to win the Eurovision Song Contest in their country next year
Betting is now available on next year's Eurovision Song Contest and Sweden are the clear favourites with UK Betting Sites to win for the second year in a row.
Sweden won last year's Song Contest with Loreen winning her second Eurovision for her country with her song Tattoo following her 2012 win with Euphoria.
The winning country gets first refusal on hosting the event with Ireland for example winning the Song Contest three years in a row in 1992, 1993 and 1994 and hosting the event each year after their win.
Sweden are 5/1 favourites with William Hill to win the Song Contest for the second year in a row with the latest betting odds giving them a 16% chance of winning again.
| Eurovision Song Contest 2024 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden | 5/1 | 16.7% |
| Italy | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Norway | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Ukraine | 10/1 | 9.1% |

What the expert says...
United Kingdom are just 7/2 to finish bottom
After Sam Ryder's remarkable performance in 2022 the expectations were high for Mae Muller to build upon that success this year but the UK finished 25th out of 26 countries.
The jury vote granted Muller a mere 15 points, while the public vote was even harsher, awarding her only 9 points after an underwhelming performance at the event.
In a disheartening turn, bookmakers have already set odds of 7/2 for an even worse outcome for the UK next year, suggesting a 22% chance of finishing at the bottom.
