Wild Youth to battle the odds

Ireland faces more eurovision heartache this year, according to the latest odds with Boylesports, which makes dublin band Wild Youth 66/1 outsiders to put an end to a barren run in the competition.

The four-piece have promised a “big and bold” performance when the event heads to liverpool in May , but Ireland has only qualified twice for the final since 2013 and now the betting trends suggest this year’s representatives will have to pull out all the stops.

Ireland remains at the top of the all-time eurovision records with seven victories, but they could have company by the time the curtain comes down on the final on May 13th as Sweden have now been backed into odds-on favourites.
