Sweden Remains the Favorite
Sweden stands at the top this week. Even though its odds drop a bit, Kaj leads the field. Bookies list Sweden’s odds near 2.00. Some show odds close to 2.25. ## Austria Gains Ground
Austria now has a strong chance. Two strong rehearsals helped JJ’s song "Wasted Love." Odds for Austria now range from 3.1 to 3.6. Austria can now challenge Sweden.
France Aiming for a Comeback
France is in the mix too. Louane now sings for France. She seeks France’s first win in 50 years. Odds for her range from 8.00 to 13.00. The climb is steep.
Rounding Out the Top Five
Israel stays in fourth place. Its odds now reach 19.00. Finland is fifth with odds near 26.00. ## Belgium and Netherlands: A Tale of Divergence
Belgium climbs to sixth. Red Sebastian even appears in the top 5 on some sites, with odds from 13.00 to 29.00. The Netherlands, in contrast, slips to seventh. Claude had a weak second rehearsal. Its odds now hit up to 31.00. ## Emerging Contenders: Estonia, Malta, and Switzerland
Estonia shows strength with Tommy Cash. His act holds odds up to 51.00. Malta makes a strong move and now sits ninth. The host, Switzerland, gains ground with odds from 26.00 to 67.00. A top 10 spot looks near.
Mixed Fortunes for Cyprus and Greece
