Outright to the winner market, Sweden took the lead in the charts with 7/4 for Mans Zelmerlow “Heroes” and Italy represented by Grande Amore was close with 3/1 with the pop opera act II Volo. Australia has 6/1 with Tonight Again, following suit was Russia with 7/1 with A million Voices and Estonis had odds of 8/1 with Goodbye to Yesterday.

Russia still stood strong with the show on 18^th May with 5/6, Estonia had 3/1 and Finland was in third place with 10/1 with an act that was composed for people with disability. The question would be whether Russia will have a smooth sail to the finals or they will be challenged by Finland.
