What are Ukraine's chances at this year's Eurovision Song Contest?

It is worth noting that Ukrainian representatives have never been eliminated at the semi-final stage, and in 2022, the Ukrainian band Kalush won the contest with the song "Stefania", scoring a record number of points in the history of Eurovision.

After the first semi-final, bookmakers also predict good results for Ukraine. According to bookmakers, Croatia is likely to win this year's Eurovision Song Contest. The second place is predicted to go to Switzerland. "The bookmakers give the bronze medal to Angelina Mango from Italy.

Ukraine is predicted to take 4th place, but it is worth noting that the forecasts can change dramatically. Also, bookmakers cannot have accurate data on fan votes, which are very important for winning the contest.

We remind you! The organisers of Eurovision 2024 have made a number of significant changes that will affect the course and format of this popular music event. Read more about what you should know about the innovations here.
