Bulgaria Passes Sweden to Become Second Favourite to Win Behind Italy

Bulgaria has overtaken Sweden to become the second favourite to win Eurovision 2023 behind Italy. This is according to the latest odds from Bet365.

Bulgaria is now priced at 15/2 to win the competition, while Sweden is at 9/1. Italy remains the favourite at 4/5.

Bulgaria's odds have shortened significantly in recent weeks, thanks to the strong performance of their entry "Intention" in the semi-finals. The song has been praised for its catchy melody and powerful vocals, and it is currently one of the most popular songs on YouTube.

Sweden, on the other hand, has seen its odds lengthen slightly after their entry "Hold Me Closer" failed to impress in the semi-finals. The song has been criticized for its lack of originality, and it is now considered to be one of the weaker songs in the competition.

Italy remains the favourite to win Eurovision 2023, and they will be hoping to extend their winning streak to four years. The country has won the competition in each of the last three years, and they will be confident of doing so again this year.
