Who is the favourite to win?

It seems to be almost a foregone conclusion that the entry from Ukraine will receive the votes and be declared the winner of Eurovision. That feels right.

Ukraine is represented by Kalush Orchestra - they secured their place in the final with a strong performance in Semi Final 1. The song is Stefania - it's a Ukrainian-language rap-folk-fusion track. The rules of Eurovision mean that it can't be a political statement, but it's undeniably emotional to see them perform in this context.

There's lots of other really strong contenders in this field - there's everything from the rock of Finland, the heartbreak of Portugal, the sex appeal of Romania, the pop powerhouse of Sweden, and the novelty of Norway. Australia has performed really well to make it through to the final, but it would be a major surprise if anyone gets more votes than Ukraine.
