Eurovision Song Contest Betting Odds: Ukraine move into 5/2 favourites to win Eurovision with Israel's inclusion confirmed by the EBU earlier this week!

Ukraine have now shortened into 5/2 favourites to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest

The 2024 Eurovision Song Contest is getting closer and closer and with each week passing we see the betting market for the event start to get interesting.

Ukraine have now moved into 5/2 betting favourites with UK Betting Sites to win Eurovision this year with Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil winning the vote to represent their country at the event.

Alyona and Heil will sing 'Teresa & Maria' at the famous song contest which they say is about, "the importance of unity for significant actions and victories."

The singing duo will be looking to win Eurovision for Ukraine for the second time in 3 years after Kalush Orchestra's win back in 2022 and Bet365 now make them 5/2 favourites.

The European Broadcasting Union said that Israel can compete at this year's Eurovision

Despite calls to exclude Israel from this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) have confirmed their inclusion this year.

Petitions had been created to exclude Israel from the event with comparisons made to Russia's ban back in 2022 but the EBU conducted their review.

The EBU's statement read, ""Our governing bodies did review the participants list for the 2024 contest and agreed that the Israeli public broadcaster KAN met all the competition rules for this year and can participate, as it has for the past 50 years."
