On May 7, the largest international Eurovision fan club, the Organization Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision (OGAE), released its audience survey in which 3,522 people from 43 countries voted for their favorite.

Malta has been voted the favorite, closely followed by Switzerland.

On the same day, Wiwiblogs, which covers Eurovision news, released an audience survey with over 36,000 votes, which chooses Greece as the likely winner, followed by Malta, Switzerland and France.

However, the blog has the addition that the survey "is just for fun" and should not predict the results.

In other words, the method behind it is not stone safe.

The betting companies also believe in Malta, Switzerland and France as likely winners.

Svenska Tusse is tipped by the self-proclaimed Eurovision expertise to place in the top ten.

How often does the pre-favorite win?

In 2019, the pre-favorite Laurence Duncan held for the favorite pressure and also in 2018, the guesses fell in the expected direction and Netta took home the victory on behalf of Israel.

In 2017, everyone talked in advance about Italian Francesco Gabbani and his gorilla costume number Occidentali's karma.

However, he was sailed aft by Portugal's Salvador Sobral, who with a fine-tuned ballad and a gripping story about his heart disease, snatched home the victory in front of several acts that were previously identified as likely winners.

France, Russia or maybe Australia or Swedish Frans were believed to be the winners in 2016. Australia became the winners of the jury and Russia the viewers.

The end result was that nobody's favorite won and Ukraine's Jamala won.

In 2015, Swedish Måns Zelmerlöw was the name on everyone's lips in advance - and he really took home the trophy in Austria.
