Sweden now 17/10 to win the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest
Sweden continue to top the betting market for the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest with UK Betting Sites keeping them as favourites to win next month's event.
Finnish-Swedish comedy group KAJ were chosen as Sweden's representatives for the Song Contest at Melodifestivalen after beating former Eurovision winner and heavy favourite Måns Zelmerlöw.
Despite a shock win at Melodifestivalen, bookies have kept Sweden as favourites to win with the understanding that KAJ's act can still win the event.
William Hill's latest betting odds give an implied probability of 37% that Sweden wins Eurovision two years on from Loreen's win in Liverpool back in 2023.

What the expert says...
Austria and France follow behind as second and third favourites in the market
Just over a week ago, Austria had moved into joint favourites alongside Sweden to win Eurovision with OLBG previously reporting on a neck-and-neck race.
They have since stayed at the 9/4 they were with Sweden being backed heavily in the past week and now there's a 6.2% difference in implied probability between the top two in the market.
Austria will be represented by JJ with the song Wasted Love and that has been gaining popularity more and more since it was originally released.
