Sweden lead the odds to win Eurovision 2025 Semi Final 1
Betting odds are now given on both Eurovision Song Contest Semi Finals with UK Betting Sites putting Sweden as the favourites to win the first night.
KAJ were chosen as the representatives for Sweden earlier this year after winning Melodifestivalen ahead of previous Eurovision winner Måns Zelmerlöw.
William Hill are now giving odds on the Semi Finals and Sweden are as short as 2/9 to win the night and sail through to the final of the famous Song Contest.
Those odds imply a 81% chance that Sweden win Semi Final 1 with the market not giving them much competition on the night.
| Eurovision Song Contest Semi Final 1 Winner | Odds | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sweden | 2/9 | 81.8% |
| Estonia | 8/1 | 11.1% |
| Netherlands | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Ukraine | 25/1 | 3.8% |
| Albania | 28/1 | 3.4% |
