We are now just hours away from the opening of this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Before then, here is a final look at the betting odds for qualification form tonight’s show.
Russia’s Sergey Lazarev remains the favourite to win tonight with average odds of 1/200. Armenia are the second-favourite with odds of 1/33, and Malta follow in third with odds of 1/12. Based solely on betting odds, tonight’s qualifiers would be:
- Russia (1/200)
- Armenia (1/33)
- Malta (1/12)
- Cyprus (1/6)
- The Netherlands (1/5)
- Czech Republic (1/5)
- Iceland (1/4)
- Hungary (1/3)
- Croatia (2/5)
- Bosnia & Herzegovina (4/7)
- Azerbaijan (4/6)
- Estonia (11/10)
- Austria (6/4)
- Greece (9/4)
- Finland (13/2)
- Moldova (12/1)
- San Marino (16/1)
- Montenegro (16/1)
Russia has been the favourite to win the contest since the song’s reveal, but odds have been shortening rapidly during the past week. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Azerbaijan’s odds have drifting since rehearsals began, indicating that they may be on the verge of missing their first final in their history in the contest. Estonia’s odds have also been drifting, whilst the odds of the bottom four have remained steady.
Only time will show just how accurate these odds are. Tonight’s show begins at 20:00 CET.
