The 2023 Eurovision odds are up, so here we are, exploring what the bookies offer, and delivering the list of the early candidates. 

Before betting on the 2023 Eurovision

Last year’s winners came from Ukraine, but due to the war in this country, the host of this year’s show is Great Britain. Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra finished first after the voting, with its song Stefania earning the honors. 

Regarding the history of this competition, Ireland has seven wins, while Sweden holds six. Johnny Logan is the leader among individual artists with three wins, two as a performer and one as a songwriter.

The top favorite to win this year is the Swedish performer Loreen, who already had the honor of triumphing at the Eurovision Song Contest once in the past. She was first in Baku 11 years ago, and has the best prospects of repeating that with her song “Tatto.”

Finland is second on the list, with Kaarija’s “Cha Cha Cha.” For many, this could be a legitimate challenger for Sweden who has by far the best odds of all the participants.

Many believed that Ukraine headed for back-to-back victories, but over the past two months, the odds severely dropped, and it appears that we won’t see them defending the title. 

There are a few dark horses, like Norway (Alessandra – Queen of Kings) and Israel (Noa Kirel – Unicorn), yet for the moment, their triumph would require a lot of unpredictable developments.
