Sanremo 2026, who wins the festival, the bookmakers’ predictions: Sal Da Vinci, Fedez & Masini and Serena Brancale
Second participation in Sanremo after a third place in 2009, Sal Da Vinci is back in the race with Forever yes. Irresistible piece that mixes neomelodico and Julio Iglesias. After the first performance on Tuesday, Sal did not end up in the Top 5 for the Press Jury, but within a few hours, the song literally exploded. Especially on the radio and on social media.
After entering the top five on Thursday, Sal rose forcefully on betting sites. Where, a few hours before the final, for the Sisal betting site he is the favorite together with the couple Masini and Fedez with theirs Necessary evil. For Lottomatica, however, Sal is slightly behind Fedez & Masini, but the measures are very short. What is certain is that Sal will be able to count on a very strong popular vote and even the radios will not fail to vote for the songcurrently in fifth place in the rankings EarOne.
As for Serena Brancaleat the second consecutive Sanremo, for Sisal and Lottomatica she is the third serious contender for victory. With his ballad Here with methe Apulian singer-songwriter convinced the Press Jury (Tuesday), while on Thursday it ended up in the Top 5 for Radio and Televoting. Also in this case, the price difference between Brancale and the other two is minimal, not so infinitesimal like between Sal Da Vinci and Fedez & Masini.

Also competing for the victory (or the podium) for the bettors are Arisa and the revelation Sayf
Contrary to initial predictions, Arisa surprisingly entered the top five since early Tuesday evening of the Press Jury. First listens for journalists his Magical fairy tale had not collected an average tall faces – and yet it achieved its first Top 5. Also confirmed on Thursday by the Radio Jury and Televoting.
A rather probable fact is that Serena Brancale and Arisa will “steal” votes from each other, limiting their respective chances of victory. Which doesn’t seem as plausible as for Da Vinci and Fedez & Masini.
The true revelation of this Sanremo is Sayf, an Italian-Genoese rapper than with his I like you a lot brought a breath of fresh air. Outside the top five of the Press Jury on Tuesday, Sayf conquered the Top 5 on Thursdaywhile yesterday, on the Cover evening, the rapper ranked second with Hit The Road, Jack. For Sisal and Lottomatica Sayf could be the real surprise of the edition this year saw his fifth place among the favourites.
