Initial rehearsal footage from the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 has sparked significant buzz, influencing betting odds for several countries. Germany, Austria, and Switzerland have all seen their odds improve following the release of rehearsal clips.
Abor & Tynna from Germany experienced a notable rise in betting odds with their song "Baller". Following the release of rehearsal images, Germany climbed to 17th place. Zoë Më from Switzerland has also garnered attention with her minimalist performance, currently placed in 15th position by bookmakers.
JJ from Austria remains a strong contender for the overall victory. After the second rehearsal, JJ significantly narrowed the gap with Sweden, who is still the leading country. He now holds second place with a 23 percent chance of winning. These shifts highlight the impact of rehearsals on the perceived chances of success at Eurovision 2025.
While Germany, Austria, and Switzerland are gaining momentum, other nations have experienced fluctuations. San Marino, for instance, lost ground after weak rehearsals, dropping to 23rd place in the odds. Spain, however, improved to 18th place after a successful rehearsal, a notable jump compared to previous months.
The Eurovision Song Contest 2025 will take place in Basel on May 13, 15, and 17, 2025.
