Eurovision 2024 Betting Tips:

Sweden are the Eurovision masters with seven wins, a joint record with Ireland, but the hosts are well down the outright market on the best betting sites this year.
Malmo will welcome singers from across Europe, and Australia, to battle it out in what will be the 50th anniversary of Abba winning the competition for Sweden with ‘Waterloo.’
Twin Brothers Hoping For An ‘Unforgettable’ Night
Identical twin brothers Marcus and Martinus will represent the defending champions in the final in Malmo on Saturday, May 11.
The pair will hope their song ‘Unforgettable’ is exactly that as they look to impress juries from across the continent and Australia.
The song reached the top of the charts in Sweden, but will it strike a chord further afield?
The brothers can be backed between 35/1 and 70/1 on betting apps to become the first country since Ireland in 1994 to win back-to-back titles.
If it’s not Sweden, then who might win this year’s Eurovision Song Contest?

Can Nemo Deliver Success For Switzerland?
It’s been 36 years since Celine Dion sung Switzerland to victory in Dublin in one of the most dramatic finishes in the contest’s history.
The five-time Grammy winner finished just one point clear of the UK’s representative Scott Fitzgerald when all the votes were counted and verified.
Is this going to be the year that Switzerland finally adds a third Eurovision title to their rich history in the competition?
You can find Nemo as the 2/1 favourite on specials betting sites to win.
Croatia’s Quest For First Title Could End In Malmo
Croatia have never won the Eurovision Song Contest and this year will be their 29th attempt at winning the glass microphone trophy since making their debut in 1993.
Since then, two fourth-placed finishes is as good as it has got, and the last of those came in 1999.
Flying the flag for Croatia in Malmo this year will be Baby Lasagne and his song ‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim.’
The catchy rock song about leaving home has gone down very across Europe and is the 10/3 second favourite with new betting sites to win in Malmo.

Italy Well Placed To Continue Their Fine Form
Italy were the 2021 winners when ‘Zitti E Buoni’ by Maneskin beat France to first place in Rotterdam.
The rock song, which translates to ‘quiet and well behaved’, was the third to last song performed that night.
It was the third time Italy has won the Eurovision, and their entry this year is third favourite.
Angelina Mango will represent Italy this year with her song ‘La Noia’, which translates to ‘Boredom’.
Eurovision odds of 5/1 suggest Italy has a chance of winning for the second time in four years.
It promises to be a thrilling week through the semi-finals on Tuesday and Thursday, before the 37 participants are whittled down to 26 finalists.
Expect plenty of drama as the 68th winner of the Eurovision Song Contest is announced.
