Now that all of the songs have been released, Australia is at 5th place in the betting odds (although it’s very close between 4th-7th). One advantage Delta has in terms of gaining more momentum is that we haven’t seen any staging or live performance of the song yet. 3 of the songs ahead of her gained huge buzz after their live performances in national finals, so how Eclipse sounds live could be the biggest factor in where we ultimately rank against the rest. ---

Yes i expected her to drop a bit more by now and especially come pre parties with everyones performances, but she has been announced for Norway’s pre party in 2 weeks, so we will see how that goes down as people get their first live taste. ---

Australia creeping back up in the odds following Delta’s performances in Europe. I can’t recall us ever staying this high in the odds for such a sustained period. Perhaps Dami. I honestly don’t understand why Finland is just so far in front though. I think it’s probably the most likely winner and deserves to be favourite, but there’s just daylight between #1 and #2. I think it’s probably a bit too much. ![Screenshot_20260327-091812](https://mediaspy-org-s3.s3.dualstack.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/original/4X/4/2/c/42cf987a76bba63100f07b0dc4b153a42ea5efd4.png) Speaking of Finland, the violinist has applied to the EBU to play her violin live.
