Eurovision 2025 odds: Who is tipped to win?
Ahead of betting closing on this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the bookies' favourite to win is Sweden, according to Bet365.
This year, Sweden is represented by KAJ with their song Bara bada bastu. If Sweden was to win, it would be a record eighth win for the country, following Loreen's second win in 2023.
Below are the top contenders to win in 2025:
- Sweden - 10/11
- Austria - 11/4
- France - 4/1
- Finland - 11/1
- Netherlands - 25/1
- Estonia - 33/1
- Albania - 35/1
- Israel - 40/1
- Switzerland - 40/1
- Malta - 80/1
It's less good news for the UK, with Remember Monday's What the Hell Just Happened? not among the most fancied entries, with odds of 125/1 to win.
It could be worse though – Iceland, San Marino, Portugal, Armenia and Norway are all 300/1 and it would be an almighty shock if any of them troubled the top of the leaderboard.
