Eurovision 2025: Betting Odds Shift Ahead of Second Semi-Final
May 15, 2025
Fans wait for the Second Semi-Final of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest. The First Semi-Final gave new betting odds. This year, 16 countries try for 10 final spots on Saturday in the Grand Final. Recent shows changed views by bookies and fans.
Sweden Leads The Field
Sweden wins the race. Kaj earned a spot in Basel. Their song shows odds near 2.00—sometimes slightly under and sometimes above. A winning bet may pay 2.2 times the stake. The stage show clicks with both the crowd and critics.
Austria comes second. JJ sings "Wasted Love." The odds range from 3.25 to 4.33. Winning is a tough task.
France comes third. Louane’s rehearsal gave them a leap. The odds now stand at 12 to 15 times the bet. Fans see this shift with hope.
Finland and Israel Move
Finland moves up two spots. Their odds reach as high as 26.00. Israel and the Netherlands also seek a higher rank. Israel slips to fifth after Yuval Raphael’s show.
The Netherlands stands sixth. Their odds are 8 to 10. Claude’s act in the First Semi-Final lifts their numbers. They aim for a top-three spot.
Surprise Moves and Strong Acts
Estonia brings a surprise. Their act, "Espresso Macchiato," draws talk across Europe. The odds now lie between 26 and 34. Estonia may be a dark horse.
Switzerland, the host, holds eighth. Their odds fall between 21 and 41. Albania and Italy are back in the top 10. Their First Semi-Final acts win applause.
Greece Faces a Tough Test
Cyprus falls out. All eyes now turn to Greece. Klavdia takes the stage with her song "Asteromata." Greece sits at 18th in the odds. The chance of reaching the final feels very small. Fans hope Klavdia’s strong voice makes a mark. A miss by Greece or Cyprus would be a first in over fifty years.
A Competitive Second Semi-Final Ahead
The Second Semi-Final looks tight. About 14 out of 16 acts seem strong. Austria, Finland, and Israel lead with odds near 1.01. Bookies show high trust in these picks.
Australia, Malta, Lithuania, Greece, and Luxembourg see odds between 1.17 and 1.30. Czechia, Latvia, and Serbia share a neck-and-neck fight for the last spots. Denmark drops to 14th, while Georgia and Montenegro lag behind with long-shot odds.
What’s Next?
The event nears. Eurovision brings surprise outcomes. Fans watch tonight with hope. The Grand Final comes on May 17th.
