New evidence has emerged suggesting who could win the Eurovision Song Contest final - and it won't be the UK's entry, Look Mum No Computer.

According to the analysis of all the past winners and their characteristics since 1956, the typical winner of Eurovision will be a woman (55.6%), a solo performer (73.2%), singing a pop song (44.4%), singing in English (50%), and singing about love, romance & relationships (60.3%).

MyBettingSites.co.uk predicts they will also be aged 25-27, as the average age of past winners is 26 and the median is 25.

However, the UK's entry is called Sam Battle, his song is called Eins, Zwei, Drei, and his lyrics won't be sung in English - they're in German.

In 2026, three contestants have the most traits, which are typical for a Eurovision winner - 5 traits each - and thus are most likely to succeed, according to the supercomputer. But who will they be?

Delta Goodrem, representing Australia, is a female solo performer who sings pop songs about love, romance & relationships in English.

DARA, representing Bulgaria, is a female solo performer who sings a pop song in English, and she is currently 27 years old.

Sarah Engels, representing Germany, is a female solo performer who sings a pop song in English about love, romance & relationships.

Despite the supercomputer's predictions, Finland is currently the frontrunner to win the 2026 contest with odds of 11/10. Greece follows close behind at 4/1, with Denmark in third place at 11/2.

According to BOYLE Sports, the UK has been given odds of 100/1 of winning the 2026 contest. They have odds of 11/2 to finish in the top 10 and 40/1 to be in the top five acts.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BOYLE Sports, said: "Eurovision wouldn't be Eurovision without the UK arriving with big dreams, bold staging and a loyal fanbase hoping this might finally be their year.

"But the latest odds suggest the UK faces a real uphill battle, which will take some of the shine off Sam Battle's chances. At 11/2 to make the top 10, there's still a route to a respectable finish if the performance lands, but 100/1 to win tells its own story - it would take a major Eurovision shock for the UK to trouble the top of the leader board now."

The Eurovision Song Contest grand final will be airing tonight on BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8pm BST
