Bookmakers have released their initial predictions for the Eurovision Song Contest 2027, placing Israel at the forefront of contenders despite songs not yet being submitted. The contest is scheduled to be held in Burgas, Bulgaria. Greek bookmaker Novibet's early odds list Israel with a coefficient of 2.75, considered unusually low for this stage. This strong position is attributed to Israel's recent successful streak, having reached the top five four consecutive times and securing second place in the last two years. Sweden, a frequent Eurovision winner, is second with odds of 3.00, followed by Italy at 4.00. Other countries in the top ten include Ukraine, Canada (making its debut), France, Norway, Switzerland, Finland, and Greece. Notably, Israel's high ranking persists despite calls for boycotts from countries like Spain, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The publication notes that political pressure has not yet impacted the betting odds, which focus on musical potential and audience support. These are preliminary odds, subject to change as songs are revealed and performances occur, reflecting current market expectations rather than guaranteed outcomes.
