Austria's JJ: Suddenly in the competition for the ESC victory!

Basel, Schweiz - The Eurovision Song Contest 2025, which will take place on May 17th in Basel, is getting closer. The betting odds and fan voting in particular show an exciting development. Austria's representative JJ has established itself on victory as a serious contender, according to Kosmo . Within a week, his victory opportunities rose from 15% to 22%, which now has only one percentage point behind Sweden, which is currently 23%.

JJ, who goes into the race with his song "Wasted Love", has already collected over 210,000 votes in the fan voting on the "My Eurovision Scoreboard" platform. This helps Austria share first place among international betting providers such as Bwin and William Hill. The distance to Sweden, which was still 10% a week ago, has significantly reduced.

The viewers mobilize

To promote his appearance, JJ plans to take part in several major ESC parties in Europe. Appearances in Amsterdam are planned on April 5, in London on April 13 and in Madrid on April 19. These events should help mobilize the fan base and increase JJ’s chances of winning.

A look at the current betting quota list shows that in addition to Sweden and Austria, France, Israel, and the Netherlands are in the favorite role. According to Merkur Germany occupies 6th place in the Reddit-Voting and has over 2,600 points. The ambitions of Germany confirm the votes of more than 1,000 ESC fans, but the country's official chance of winning is 1% in 21st place in the betting odds.
