The UK’s Eurovision entry has been handed a bitter blow by the bookies who don’t have a lot of confidence in the chances of victory. Mae Muller has said she is “ready to get this show on the road” ahead of Saturday’s Eurovision final - but it looks like the wheels might come off with one bookmaker making her a long shot at 66/1.
The odds are against her track, I Wrote A Song coming out on top this evening - with PaddyPower much preferring Sweden on 4/9, Finland at 13/5, and Ukraine at 9/1. Other contenders are Israel 18/1, Norway 40/1, France 40/1 and Spain at 45/1 before we get to the UK. Favouite for ‘nul points’ is Albania at 500/1 to win.
After months of preparation, the 25-year-old singer from north London will finally perform her track for the international voting public. Muller is hoping to continue the success of last year’s UK entry Sam Ryder, who finished second behind Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine.
