Wagers on the Eurovision Song Contest 2025: The Swedish Entry
Eurovision Song Contest 2025: Sweden Favoured to Win Again
Tomorrow night, the Eurovision Song Contest returns, with 26 participating countries vying for the coveted title. The competition, taking place at St. Jakobshalle, Basel, Switzerland, has seen some unexpected victories in the past, but this year, bookmakers are predicting a repeat win for Sweden.
Sweden and Ireland share the title for the most wins at the Eurovision Song Contest, with both countries having triumphed 7 times. Last year, Loreen won the contest for the second time with her song Tattoo, further cementing Sweden's status as a Eurovision powerhouse. This year, the group KAJ, representing Sweden, will perform the popular song Bara bada bastu, which has already reached number one in the charts in both Sweden and Finland.
According to the odds provided by bookmakers, Sweden is the clear favourite to win again, with odds of 1.83. Austria follows closely behind with odds of 3.75, while France, Netherlands, Finland, Israel, and Switzerland all have longer odds of 7.00, 14.00, 16.00, 22.00, and 22.00 respectively. The odds for the German entry, Baller by Abor & Tynna, currently place them in 14th place.
German ESC fans are discussing on social media the possibility of a top 10 placement for the German entry, which will perform under the number 16. However, the odds for the German entry are at 150.00, suggesting a long shot to win.
Many international betting enthusiasts are wondering whether betting on underdogs in the Eurovision Song Contest is worthwhile. In the past, underdogs have surprised everyone and taken home the trophy, so it's always a possibility.
If Sweden wins again, it will become the sole record holder with 8 victories. However, if another country takes the title, Sweden will have the opportunity to host the Eurovision Song Contest again, as it did in 2023. The contest starts at 9 PM and is sure to be an exciting event for Eurovision fans around the world.
