Betting Odds Indicate Potential for Historic Results at Eurovision Song Contest 2025
Excitement grows for Eurovision 2025. Updated betting odds show the contest may bring a breakthrough. The event will take place in Basel, Switzerland. Fans wait eagerly as the stage returns after Nemo’s 2024 win with “The Code.”
A Diverse Lineup of Talented Contestants
This year, many performers join the show. Some come from the LGBTQ+ community. Known entrants include Adonxs from Czechia, Red Sebastian from Belgium, Marko Bošnjak from Croatia, and Erika Vikman from Finland. Fans ask if one of these artists will win.
Controversy Surrounding Malta's Entry
Malta’s contestant Miriana Conte faces a problem. The European Broadcasting Union said her song “Kant” may not be performed. The words in the song sound like an English swear word. In Maltese, “Kant” means “singing.” Conte has changed her title to “Serving.” Fans ask if she will still be a strong competitor.
Top Contenders at the Bookmakers
Current betting odds show that the contest may bring historic achievements. Here is a closer look at the top five entries from the odds:
5. Netherlands: Claude with “C’est La Vie”
Dutch singer Claude presents “C’est La Vie.” The ballad shifts into a dance-pop piece. He has a six percent chance of winning. If he wins, the Netherlands will earn its sixth victory. Last year, Joost Klein lost his chance after a backstage issue.
4. France: Louane with TBA
French artist Louane will perform soon. She has a ten percent chance of winning. Her entry remains a secret for now. The singer, known in music and film, will reveal her song at the Stade de France on March 15. A win would give France its sixth title.
3. Israel: Yuval Raphael with “New Day Will Rise”
Israel’s Yuval Raphael sings “New Day Will Rise.” The song uses several languages. She has an eleven percent chance of winning. A victory would give Israel its fourth Eurovision title.
2. Austria: JJ with “Wasted Love”
Austrian-Filipino singer JJ enters with “Wasted Love.” His track blends pop and opera styles. He has a fifteen percent chance of taking the win. A win would earn Austria its third victory since 2014, when Conchita Wurst won with “Rise Like A Phoenix.”
1. Sweden: KAJ with “Bara Bada Bastu”
A group called KAJ sings “Bara Bada Bastu,” a fun track inspired by sauna life. They hold a 25 percent chance to win. A victory would give Sweden its eighth win and beat Ireland’s record. Sweden last won in 2023 with Loreen’s “Tattoo.”
UK Faces Long Odds
The United Kingdom’s entry is the trio Remember Monday. They sing “What The Hell Just Happened?” They have only a one percent chance of winning. Malta’s Conte, with her new title, has a thirteen percent chance.
Semifinals and Final Event
The semi-finals will take place on Tuesday, May 13 and Thursday, May 15. The final will be on Saturday, May 17. Fans and artists wait as the event nears. People can share their views while keeping respect. The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will show the strength of music and diversity on a world stage.
