Sweden are the 4/9 favourites to win the Eurovision Song Contest this weekend
The Grand Final of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest is set to take place this Saturday, May 13, and it's Sweden who are the favourites with UK Betting Sites to win the whole thing.
Sweden have been favourites in the market ever since former winner Loreen was confirmed to represent her country again and the latest odds make her odds on to win for a second time.
Her 2012 performance with her winning song 'Euphoria' is arguably one of the most recognisable Song Contest performances in the history of the competition.
The latest odds from William Hill now say there's a 69% chance of her winning Eurovision this year with the Jury vote expected to favour Loreen according to fans and Eurovision experts.
| Eurovision Song Contest 2023 winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden
|
4/9 | 69.2% |
| Finland | 5/2 | 28.6% |
| Ukraine | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| France | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Israel | 12/1 | 7.7% |
| Norway | 16/1 | 5.9% |
| Spain | 16/1 | 5.9% |
Finland are close behind at 5/2 in what looks like a two horse race
Finland are second favourites in the betting to win Eurovision and judging by the full betting market it's going to be a two horse race between them and Sweden.
It's expected that Finland will win the Tele Vote for the Song Contest this year with the country odds-on at 8/13 to be voted by the viewers as the best performance.
Sweden though are 3/10 to win the Jury Vote with Finland as big as 25/1 to do so with the Jury not expected to be fans of Finland compared to the viewers.
