Given the list of guests and duets, the bookmakers seem to bet on a female podium. On William Hill, Annalisa's success is played at 3.25, followed by Angelina Mango given at 5 on Planetwin365, while closing the podium are Alessandra Amoroso and Geolier at 6. Predictions that lead analysts to bet on an all-female podium, option set at 3.50, and on the victory of a woman ten years after the last statement of Arisa in 2014: in fact, the pink success at the Festival is played at 1.45 on Snai, followed by the male victory at 3.50 with the triumph of a group at 6.50.
