With just ten days remaining until the highly anticipated Greek National Final for Eurovision 2025, speculation is heating up. Betting platforms are offering odds on who will secure the coveted spot to represent Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel. Let’s delve into the latest developments and analyze the frontrunners based on current betting trends.
Klavdia Takes the Lead
In the initial days following the release of the twelve competing entries, the race seemed tight between Klavdia and Evangelia. However, Klavdia has surged ahead, establishing herself as the clear favorite. Her entry, “Asteromata” (Stardusted), leads in YouTube views, overcoming Evangelia’s initial advantage, and her betting odds have plummeted dramatically.
Last weekend, Klavdia’s victory was priced at 2.20; now, the odds stand between 1.35 and 1.55 across major betting platforms such as Novibet and Stoiximan. This firmly places her as the front-runner for Greece’s representative in Eurovision 2025.
Evangelia Loses Momentum
Initially tipped as the favorite with her song “Vále”, Evangelia has seen her chances diminish over the past week. Her odds of winning now range between 3.50 and 3.75, offering a tempting prospect for her supporters. However, this marks a significant drop from her initial odds of 1.55–1.60, reflecting a shift in betting dynamics.
Dark Horses and Rising Contenders
While the focus remains on Klavdia and Evangelia, other candidates are vying for a breakthrough:
- BARBZ, with her track “Sirens”, was considered a strong third contender. However, her odds have soared to 12.00 and 15.00, dimming her chances.
- One surprise this week comes from the energetic group Dinamiss, whose song “Odyssey” has seen an upward trend. The sisters, previously seventh in rankings, are now closing in on third place, with betting odds dropping to 15.00.
- Meanwhile, established artists like Konstantinos Christoforou and Kostas Karafotis (“Paradeisos”) and breakout talents like Xannova Xan (“Play It!”) hover in mid-tier positions, their odds reflecting modest expectations.
The National Final Format
The Greek National Final, set to take place on January 30 at the Christmas Theater in Athens, promises to be a spectacular event. Hosted by Eurovision icons Helena Paparizou and Sakis Rouvas, the evening will feature performances from the twelve finalists:
The winner will be decided through a combined voting system:
- 25% from an international jury,
- 25% from a domestic jury,
- 50% from the televoting audience.
Can Klavdia Seal the Deal?
The final days leading up to the show will be crucial. Will Klavdia maintain her momentum and win the ticket to Basel, or could Evangelia or another dark horse stage a comeback?
