Two semi-finals, a long series of controversies and a grand final: it is It’s been a busy week in Malmö (Sweden)where the 68th Eurovision Song Contest. Throughout this week, the two semi-finals have been held, from which the 20 classified for the final have emerged, joining the Big Five countries (Spain, Germany, Italy, France and the United Kingdom), which have always guaranteed their place in the finaland Swedenas host country of the gala.
And of these 26 countries that will perform their songsWho will win the 2024 edition? You never know. In 2022, for example, Ukraine won after the brutal support it received through televoting, no one can predict what will happen in the contest. However, we can go to the surveys and bookmakers to see which direction they move things.
For now, two of the favorites made it to the final in the semifinals: on the one hand is Baby Lasagna, representative of Croatia, who thanks to his ‘Rim Tim Tagi Dim’ won a place in the final in the first Eurovision semi-final. On the other hand, the Ukrainian Eden Golan, who achieved the same in the second semi-final, held two days before the grand final. According to the predictions of the different betting houses collected by Eurovision World, this would be the top10 of Eurovision 2024:
- 1. Croatia | Baby Lasgna
- 2. Israel | Eden Golan
- 3. Switzerland | Nemo
- 4. France | Slimane
- 5. Ukraine | alyona alyona and jerry heil
- 6. Ireland | Bambi Thug
- 7. Italy | Angelina Mango
- 8. Netherlands | Joost Klein
- 9. Greece | Marina Satti
- 10. Finland | Windows95man
According to global betting, Croatia has a 42% chance of coming first in the 2024 Eurovision ranking, although Israel also has a good chance; Just over 24 hours before the festival starts, it would be around 21%.
How is Spain in the betting houses?
Spain is not even in the top ten this year. Nebulossa brings its ‘Zorra’ to Malmö Arena with enthusiasm (and a lot of support at the national level, although also a lot of criticism), but has not managed to place itself among the best. The betting houses predict a discreet 18th place, which would be neither the worst nor the best. Let us remember that Spain is the only country that has remained in all possible positions in the Eurovision ranking since it began participating.
And should you trust the betting houses? Those collected by Eurovision World pointed well to the year of Chanelazo. Although it was among the favorites, this website pointed to a possible victory for Ukraine, thanks to televoting, or for the United Kingdom, for obtaining the highest score from the jury. And indeed, the two countries were placed ahead of Spain.
