Swedish singer Loreen has been named as a bookmakers’ favourite to be crowned winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 grand final being held in Liverpool this week. The 39-year-old star is returning to compete for her country more than a decade after triumphing at the 2012 contest in Baku, Azerbaijan, with her dance-pop anthem Euphoria.
Loreen, who has been given odds of 10/11 by Betfair, will compete with her new track Tattoo, written by the same team behind Euphoria, after winning the Melodifestivalen competition – Sweden’s televised selection process for Eurovision. Finland sits in second place with odds of 11/5 for their act, rapper and singer Kaarija, who will perform his track Cha Cha Cha.
Third place goes to France for their entry La Zarra, who has been giving 6/1 odds for her song Evidemment. Reigning champions Ukraine are currently placed in fourth with odds of 12/1 for their latest entry, electronic duo Tvorchi, who will perform their song Heart Of Steel.
