Eurovision 16/05/26
With the Eurovision final approaching, the likely top ten is already largely shaped by the odds. Croatia stands out as a potential surprise entry, with a strong and distinctive performance capable of impressing both juries and the public.
Betting on top ten position
The time for the Eurovision grand final has arrived and many things have become clear regarding the countries competing for the win and the placements.
It is characteristic that the bookmakers have already settled on a likely top ten. In recent years they rarely miss badly, and last year they got only one of their projected top ten selections wrong based on the odds. Something similar is very possible this year as well.
So I am looking for which song could sneak into the top ten and Croatia’s entry looks capable of producing the mini surprise. A song combining ethnic elements with modern production, strong stage presence and vocals, I suspect it will be one of the jury favorites. I also think it can receive enough votes from the public while benefiting from neighboring countries that will certainly support it.
Andromeda has the ingredients to impress in the final as well, with a polished performance and original elements that are missing from this year’s contest.
The clear outsider odds make the bet easier for one of the best and most distinctive songs of Eurovision 2026.
