Eurovision 2024: Intense Battle at the Top and changes in the Top 5 & Top 10!

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

As we approach the semi-final draw of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest, one of Eurovisionfun‘s favorite and most-discussed columns makes its return. The betting analyses for Eurovision 2024 are back, offering insights into the current landscape as we head towards the highly anticipated event in May.

Hot Competition at the Top

The battle for the top spot in the betting odds continues, with Ukraine maintaining its position as the favorite ten days before the Vidbir 2024 grand final. Compared to our analysis three weeks ago, Ukraine‘s odds have slightly declined, attributed to the popularity of Alyona Alyona & Jerry Heil, considered strong contenders for representing Eastern Europe. The odds for Ukraine‘s victory in Malmo range between 5.7 and 7.

The United Kingdom holds its ground in the second position. Similar to Ukraine, the UK‘s odds have decreased, ranging from 6.5 to 8. The selection of Olly Alexander and the expectations surrounding the BBC‘s choice have influenced these odds.

Shuffling in the Top 5

Italy has risen to the third position in the betting odds. Just days before the Sanremo Festival, Italy‘s victory in Malmo is a topic of discussion, with betting odds reaching up to 11 times the initial wager. The country’s strong recent track record, coupled with the impressive Sanremo lineup, has boosted confidence in Italy’s chances.

Sweden now holds the fourth position, aiming for its historic eighth victory on home soil. In-house victory for Sweden is offered at odds ranging from 8 to 13.

Israel rounds off the top 5, facing a decline in odds due to geopolitical realities and the conflict in Gaza. Despite this, Israel‘s odds for victory are around 15.

Top 10

Lithuania steadily climbs to the sixth position, with Silvester Belt‘s “Luktelk” and VB Gang‘s “KABOOM!!!” gaining attention. Odds for Lithuania’s potential first-ever victory in Malmo range from 7 to 17.5.

Norway drops to seventh place, with odds around 15-17. The Melodi Grand Prix 2024, concluding next Saturday, is eagerly awaited by Eurofans.

Greece moves up one spot to eighth, showing resilience after a disappointing presence in Liverpool. Marina Satti‘s name and the direct assignment to a prominent figure in the Greek music scene restored bookers’ confidence on the Mediterranean country. Greece remains in the Top 10 throughout 2024, with odds between 13 and 21.

Switzerland takes the ninth spot, benefitting from the decision not to send a male ballad this year. Memories of Luca Hänni‘s success in 2019 play a role, with odds offered being around 13 and 21, as well as Greece.

Finland completes the top 10, with Sara Siipola and “Paskana” gaining attention. Odds for Finland’s potential victory range from 17 to 22.

Eurovision odds: France drop to 18th | Lithuania in the top 10 for the first time!

/0 Comments/in , , /by

We have had significant rearrangements in the betting odds for the winner of Eurovision 2024. Now entering the heart of the national finals season, the bets change almost daily, since the release of new songs is now continuous. Among the highlights of the changes are the huge drop for France and the sudden rise for Lithuania.

France in 18th place

France was the first country to announce its song for Eurovision 2024. Slimane with Mon Amour was consistently in the top ten of the bets, until recently it fell to 18th place.

Three bookmakers have greatly increased their odds for France to win and so for the first time this year, Slimane is at that position. Of course, it remains unknown what caused this great descent, since there was nothing new about the French entry, nor any bad live performance, which are usually developments that also affect the betting odds. It remains to be seen whether this was a fluke or temporary or some negative trend that will continue.

A joke entry took brought Lithuania in the top10

The release of a song that participates in the country’s national final for Eurovision 2024, has blown the wind in the sails of the small Baltic country and thus Lithuania, which has qualified for the final in recent years, is now in the eighth place of the betting companies.

The song in question is KABOOM!!! by VB Gang, which stole the limelight from The Roop, the big favorite in the Lithuanian national final.

The UK at the top

Olly Alexander with a little help from some in charge at the BBC and their very ambitious statements that they are coming to win Eurovision 2024 with a commercial song that will reach #1 in the charts was enough to get the UK to the top.

Close behind are the usual suspects Ukraine, Sweden, Italy and now in fifth place Norway, which very recently announced the candidates for its own national final. Israel is now in sixth place, with the top ten being closed by Spain, Lithuania, Switzerland and Greece, which has remained stable for a few days in the top 10.

Of course, the road is still very long and a lot has to change until the evening of Saturday, May 11, when the final of the 68th Eurovision Song Contest will be held.
