The first round of Eurovision semi-finals is set to take place on Tuesday evening, but hours ahead of the big event, Iceland is in a precarious position in the competition.
The latest odds have revealed the first round of performances in Basel, Switzerland is likely to see Sweden flying through to the final, with the country continuing to dominate betting markets.
Sweden's act KAJ has been given odds of 1/5 of being Tuesday's winner, according to the latest numbers from Betfred, with Estonia's Tommy Cash also poised for success, boasting odds of 8/1.
The Netherlands' Claude has also been placed just behind at 10/1. Unfortunately for Iceland, VÆB has been placed joint bottom of the list, with odds of 200/1 alongside Portugal and Slovenia.

Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius stated: "Sweden have entered this year's competition looking utterly unstoppable.
"The outright favourites to take home the trophy later this month, they’re also tipped to dominate the first round of semi-finals, currently priced as short as 1/5 to win this evening.
"With such commanding odds, it would take nothing short of a miracle for another country to outperform them tonight.
"However, in the unlikely event that Sweden slip up and falter, Estonia could be set to soar and are the rising stars worth keeping on your radar.

"Priced at 8/1 to win the semi-final and 50/1 to qualify outright, they represent a compelling outside shot with serious upside.
"On the flip side, the same good news can’t be said for the likes of Portugal, Croatia, and Iceland, whose current odds suggest they’re likely to see their Eurovision journey come to an end tonight, missing out on a place in the grand final."
Meanwhile, UK's Remember Monday, along with acts from France, Germany, Italy and Spain, immediately go through to the weekend's final because they contribute the largest financial amount to the competition.
Girl band Remember Monday shared first-look images of their performance last week, with the trio dressed in colourful costumes as they prepare to perform their song What The Hell Just Happened? on May 17.
The staging features blue strobe lighting across the performance area in the snaps, with a giant chandelier and large candles being partially seen in the background of the images.
The official Eurovision account shared the images with the caption: "You won't BELIEVE what just happened here. United Kingdom / Remember Monday - What The Hell Just Happened?"
The first look snaps reveal the trio sporting eye-catching pastel outfits in yellow, blue and pink with their hopes being high of placing in the top spot on the leaderboard.

In the photos, Lauren Byrne sported glittering blue flared trousers paired with a corset-style long-sleeved top that flows into a mesh mini skirt.
Charlotte Steele and Holly-Anne Hull wore matching corset tops in yellow and pink, respectively.
Steele completed her ensemble with knee-high heeled boots, whilst Hull opted for chunky stilettos to round off her look.
Fans reacted enthusiastically to the first glimpse of Remember Monday's Eurovision staging, as one supported by writing: "People don't realise it, but we are gunning for a top 10 result."
