With the competition heating up, several countries have already emerged as strong contenders. Among the big favorites are the Swedish and Austrian representatives, who have gained significant attention. As always, the race is unpredictable, and the final outcome remains uncertain with a few weeks still to go before the May 17 Grand Final.
