Ukraine's Kaslush Orchestra are being tipped to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest, with bookies having them as favourites to triumph for months now ahead of Saturday's final.
The eastern European country have faired rather well at Eurovision over the past two decades with Ruslana earning them victory in 2004 with her song Wild Dances, before Jamala won 12 years later in 2016 with her poignant war anthem 1944, after getting the lion share of the tele vote. Jamala has appeared at a number of events across the continent after the Russian invasion of her home country, including the ITV's Concert for Ukraine.
The wealth of support for Ukraine worldwide, as well as the fact they finished in the top 5 last year with fantastically crazy entry Shum by GoA has led to Eurovision experts and bookies putting Ukraine at the top of the betting with them odds on favourites to win in in Italy the Eurovision odds.
