Eurovision 2025 Betting Odds: Four-Way Battle at the Top – Tight Margins!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , /by

February, the most crucial month of the pre-Eurovision season, is finally here! With national selections happening every week and more competing entries for Eurovision 2025 being revealed, it’s time for one of Eurovisionfun’s most beloved and discussed segments—our betting odds analysis—to return!

While fans gear up for an intense Eurovision month, bookies have already been hard at work. With several betting companies already offering odds on the winner of Eurovision 2025, let’s take a look at how things stand so far.

Four Countries in a Tight Race for Victory

The first “Super Saturday” of the year has shaken up the betting rankings. With 12 out of 37 songs confirmed for Eurovision 2025, Sweden currently leads the odds. Once again, Sweden is among the biggest favorites to win, with SVT and Swedish Eurovision fans hoping for a record-breaking eighth victory.

A key reason behind Sweden’s strong position is the participation of Måns Zelmerlöw in Melodifestivalen. The 2015 Eurovision winner has significantly boosted Sweden’s momentum. Bookmakers currently place Sweden’s odds between 5.0 and 6.5.

However, three other countries are closely trailing Sweden, and its top spot is far from secure.

2nd – Israel

Israel, which previously held the top spot, has now dropped to second place. The selection of Yuval Raphael and her emotional backstory initially caused Israel’s odds to plummet, making it an early favorite. However, its momentum has slowed down. Betting odds for Israel’s victory now range between 5.5 and 10.0.

3rd – France

France is steadily gaining ground. The selection of Louane, one of the country’s most renowned artists, has created huge anticipation. Her Eurovision 2025 entry will be revealed in a spectacular event—during the halftime of the France vs. Scotland rugby match at Stade de France on March 15. This high-profile unveiling has led bookmakers to slash France’s odds, which now stand between 8.0 and 10.0.

4th – Finland

Finland is rising fast in the rankings! Last night’s dominant victory by Erika Vikman with “Ich Komme” at UMK 2025 has caused a major shift in betting odds. Finland is currently the only top contender with a song that fans have already seen performed live. Odds for a Finnish victory range between 6.0 and 14.0.

5th – Italy

Completing the top five is Italy, which remains a strong contender. The country’s impressive track record in recent years, combined with a star-studded lineup at the upcoming Sanremo Festival, has boosted confidence in its chances. Italian odds currently range between 11.0 and 13.0.

The Rest of the Top 10

  • 6th – Belgium (Odds: 5.0 – 15.0) Dropped from 1st place after selecting Red Sebastian.
  • 7th – Ukraine (Odds: Up to 17.0) Lost ground after selecting Ziferblat at Vidbir 2025.
  • 8th – Estonia (Odds: Up to 23.0) Tommy Cash’s “Espresso Macchiato” is making waves.
  • 9th – Czechia (Odds: Up to 23.0) Adonxs impressed with an acoustic version of “Kiss Kiss Goodbye”.
  • 10th – Germany (Odds: Up to 23.0) NDR is promising its strongest national final in years.

Will the betting markets predict this year’s winner correctly, or are we in for a huge surprise?

Estonia: This Is the Running Order of the Entries for Eesti Laul 2025!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

In a few days, and especially on February the 15th, the national final of Estonia, also known as the Eesti Laul 2025, is scheduled to take place in Tallin, where the official Estonian entry will be determined and will represent the Baltic nation in the 69th Eurovision Song Contest 2025, in Basel, Switzerland.

Thus, a few minutes ago, the National Broadcaster of Estonia, Eesti Rahvusringhääling (ERR), revealed the official running order for all the sixteen (16) songs that are participating in this year’s Eesti Laul, which is the following:

  1. Ant – “Tomorrow Never Comes“
  2. Stereo Terror – “Party Till the End of the World“
  3. Janek – “Frozen“
  4. Räpina Jack feat. Kaisa Ling – “Tule“
  5. Johanna Elise – “Eyes Don’t Lie“
  6. Felin – “Solo Anthem“
  7. Elysa – “The Last to Know“
  8. gem98 – “Psycho“
  9. An-Marlen – “Külm“
  10. Frants Tikerpuu – “Trouble“
  11. Anna Sahlene – “Love Me Low“
  12. Tuuli Rand – “Rem“
  13. Minimal Wind – “Armageddon“
  14. andrei zevakin feat. Karita – “Ma Ei Tea Sind“
  15. Tommy Cash – “Espresso Macchiato“
  16. Marta Lotta – “Tantsin Veel“

Let’s keep in mind here that this year’s Eesti Laul will be held at the Unibet Arena, in Tallin, while the hosts will be Ines, who represented Estonia in Eurovision back in 2000 and Karl “Korea” Kivastik.

The Eesti Laul 2025 will consist of only one show, during which all of the sixteen (16) songs will be performed. Later, in the first voting round, there will be a vote-split system between the public and the jury, out of which only a specific number of the entries will qualify to the Superfinal. Moreover, in the second and final voting round, the final result and consequently the representative of Estonia in Eurovision 2025, will be determined exclusively by the televote.

Let’s have a flashback here and remember Estonia’s entry in Eurovision 2024, which was the song “(nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi” performed by 5MIINUST x Puuluup, that finished in the 20th place collecting 37 points in total:

Eurovision 2025: The Semi-Final Allocation Draw Results!

/0 Comments/in , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Basel with a very nice event hosted a few minutes ago the draw for the semi-finals of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.

The analyzes of the fans and not only, have been on fire for a few minutes now. Since the theories based on the pre-history of the countries in the competition, it is a first insight into how passable the qualification to the final is or not. In other words, it’s time to make our predictions, about who will go through to the final and who are the favorites to say goodbye to Basel early…

The presenters and the handover ceremony

Leading today’s allocation draw were Jennifer Bosshard and Jan van Ditzhuijzen, who guided us through this pivotal Eurovision tradition.

In addition to determining which countries will perform in each semi-final, today’s ceremony marked the official handover of the Eurovision insignia from last year’s host city, Malmö, to Basel. Attending the event were Carina Nilsson, the President of Malmö City Council, and Conradin Cramer, Basel’s City Council President.

Draw Procedure

Big 5 and Switzerland

With the big winner of last year’s competition, Switzerland, directly in the final, along with the Big 5 (UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain), the first part of the draw determined the semi-final that the direct finalists would vote for.

Will vote in the 1st Semi-Final:

  • Switzerland
  • Italy
  • Spain

Will vote in the 2nd Semi-Final:

  • Germany
  • France
  • United Kingdom

In the semi-final that the six aforementioned countries were drawn to broadcast and vote for, the video from their dress rehearsal will also be shown. This was done at Eurovision 2016 for the first time, for reasons of equal exposure of the countries directly in the final and the countries that qualify from the semi-finals. Essentially, viewers see each entry twice during the shows.

Semi-Final Allocation Draw

The allocation draw for the two semi-finals had two parts. In the first part the 31 countries participating in the semi-finals were drawn in which of the two they will compete in. Fifteen countries will compete in the first semi-final and sixteen in the second semi-final.

In the second part, each country learned whether it will appear in the first or second half of the semi-final in which it will compete. The exact order of appearance will be determined by the EBU and the show’s producers at a later date.

1st Semi-final (May 13):

1st Half

  • Sweden
  • Ukraine
  • Slovenia
  • Iceland
  • Estonia
  • Poland
  • Portugal

2nd Half

  • Netherlands
  • Azerbaijan
  • Albania
  • San Marino

Basel will host the 69th Eurovision Song Contest from 13 to 17 May at the St. Jakobshalle. The motto of this year’s event, as chosen by the organisers, is “United by Music“, retaining the motto first chosen for the contest in Liverpool in 2023.
