Eurovision 2021 Predictions & Tips


Eurovision returns with the 2021 Final taking place in Rotterdam, Netherlands on Saturday, May 22.

The midweek semi-finals will confirm the line-up for the weekend and here are our best bets for Saturday night’s musical extravaganza.

Eurovision 2021 Predictions & Tips: Winner


France do not have the greatest of records in Eurovision but the bookmakers fancy their chances.

Barbara Pavi and her song “Voila” have been a smash hit on YouTube since being uploaded three months ago.

The official music video has been streamed on the site almost 1.8 million times. 

It has also been a popular pick on Eurovision polls ahead of the contest.

However, Italy’s entry has been outperforming France when it comes to YouTube views.

Over 2.2 million viewers have watched Maneskin and their song Zitti E Buoni.

So will YouTube views turn into Eurovision success for the Italians?

The bookmakers have Italy as a slight favourite, but France could ‘upset’ the odds.

The French entry screams ‘Eurovision’ more than the rockier Italian entry, so I am backing Barbara.


Eurovision 2021 Predictions & Tips: German vs United Kingdom


The UK are at a point where it is a celebration just to avoid ‘nul points’ on the night.

Brexit probably hasn’t helped the UK’s standing among the rest of Europe either.

This could be another pointless entry from the UK that is outperformed by Germany.


Eurovision 2021 Predictions & Tips: Top 5 Finish


I stumbled across a very interesting Eurovision Song Contest trend in my research for the show.

According to one popular odds site, the winner of Eurovision has been the most back nation in the month of March.

This year that honour went to Switzerland.

The Swiss may come up short against the might of Italy and France, but a top-5 finish could be on the cards.
