Sweden remain favourites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest ahead of next week's show
The hype for this year's Eurovision Song Contest is hotting up with the event taking place next week and bookmakers continue to give odds on who will win this year.
Sweden remain the betting favourites to win Eurovision with the latest odds now giving their act Loreen a 61% chance of winning the event at the top of the market.
William Hill put Sweden as the favourites just ahead of Finland in the betting market with Finland expected to have a better public vote against Sweden's expected Jury vote win.
Loreen won Eurovision back in 2012 for Sweden with her winning song 'Euphoria' arguably one of the most recognisable Song Contest performances in the history of the competition.
