Eurovision 2025 Betting Odds and Predictions: Who Wins the Song Contest?

Sweden (-110)

For the first time this year, Sweden has a greater than 50% chance of winning Eurovision 2025! If Sweden wins, it will be consistent with their historic success in the competition.

Since Abba’s win at Eurovision 1974, the Swedes have consistently pumped out talent to send to the singing competition. In 2023, Sweden won their seventh Eurovision title to tie Ireland for the most all-time.

Sweden’s representative, Loreen, was a heavy favorite to win, and cleared the competition in the Grand Final. It was the second win for Loreen after she captured the award in 2012, too. Sweden has won three titles over the last 12 years, including in 2015 with Heroes by Mans Zelmerlow.

Comedy musical act, KAJ, will be representing Sweden after winning the selection contest. The trio edged out Mans Zelmerlow in a shocker KAJ is performing their song “Bara Bara Bastu” for Eurovision 2025. In the same light as Baby Lasana, this is a “joke” act that just works with the public.

The entertaining act is already appealing to bettors ahead of their first performance on the Eurovision stage. It’s something that all ages can get behind, so it wouldn’t be a shocking win for KAJ and Sweden.

They don’t take themselves too seriously and probably didn’t expect to go this far but now have the best odds of winning Eurovision! The song has gotten so popular that it was recently No. 1 on Spotify’s Daily Global Viral Chart.

I foresee Sweden doing incredibly well in the televote. They’re already attracting a large fanbase and the votes should be plentiful from viewers watching at home.

It’s worth noting that the three members of the group are Finnish, so they’ll get the vote from their Scandinavian neighbors. With Team Finland falling well out of contention recently, Sweden is the next best vote for the Finns! However, will “Bara Bara Batsu” resonate with the jury? There is a chance it catches on.

Austria (+350)

The latest Eurovision betting odds suggest a two-country race between Sweden and Austria. Although the latest action at online bookmakers puts Sweden ahead, Austria has lots of reasons to feel optimistic about their chances! Earlier this year, the country wasn’t even on anyone’s radar for a Eurovision winner pick.

When the Eurovision betting markets opened, Austria was a +1200 longshot, so they remain in a much stronger position than they were two months ago. Represented by singer-songwriter JJ, Austria is getting worldwide attention as hype builds for their first performance in Basel.

Austrians rejoice! The latest markets for the Eurovision 2025 betting odds reveal that Austria is now a strong contender to take the title. Earlier this year, the country wasn’t even on anyone’s radar for a Eurovision winner pick.

However, Austria is on the move, and may not be stopped now! Represented by singer-songwriter JJ, Austria is getting worldwide attention as hype builds for Eurovision 2025.

Why is JJ suddenly getting attention? For one, the staging for his performance is expected to be incredible and unprecedented. Eurovision has seen some impressive staging performances in the past, but JJ is turning things up a notch for voters.

The artist’s live performance of “Wasted” is expected to combine several unique elements. Recent reports suggest that JJ will incorporate camera angles that are a first for Eurovision. Additionally, water and rain elements are in the plans, as well as a boat will be part of the act. Everything ties into a story that is being told on the stage. It’s music first, but strong theater elements are evident from JJ as well.

We’ll have to wait and see what Austria has in store for us, but if JJ can pull it off, they will likely be instant favorites to win Eurovision 2025. In addition to the stunning staging expected, JJ’s raw talent is undeniable, so he is a deserved favorite heading into the contest!

France (+1000)

After skyrocketing up the board, France has tanked back down to earth. Currently, with +1000 odds to win Eurovision 2025, France has a marginal chance to win at 9.1%. The country has won Eurovision five times but hasn’t captured the title since 1977! Perhaps it’s finally time for the French side to bring home the Eurovision crown again?

If oddsmakers and money coming in have it right, then Louane is going to come short of winning the Eurovision title. Nevertheless, Louane should be a fan favorite with certain demographics, especially the younger female cohort. The 28-year-old star was selected internally by the French committee, so she didn’t get here by beating any competition. That being said, Louane is well-known in France and a safe choice.

According to Spotify, Louane has over 3 million listeners and has 1.65 million subscribers on YouTube. In other words, a lack of experience and stage presence is not going to be an issue for Louane at all. She is a well-polished performer, and the stage at Basel 2025 won’t be too big for her.

Louane recently released the song she’ll be performing for France at Eurovision 2025. Unsurprisingly, it’s an emotional ballad, a trademark for the artist. “Maman” is about her mother who passed away in 2014 after battling a lengthy illness. You shouldn’t be surprised when this performance does very well in the televote.

That being said, is it enough to entice other viewers to vote for her besides her young fans? I am confident that her fans will flood the televote, but the older demographic is likely to be more impressed with a more entertaining performance by KAJ and JJ.

Staging is unlikely to be the strong point for Louane compared to Sweden and Austria. As a result, I’m not as confident in France having a chance at Eurovision glory in 2025.
