The bookies now make them 66/1 to cause an upset tonight, meaning they're more likely to finish in last place (3/1) than first, while 12/1 says they score 'nul points'.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Remember Monday need nothing short of a miracle to cause an upset in Switzerland tonight, if the latest odds are anything to go by."
Inspired by their friendship after they met at school in Hampshire, Remember Monday will be the eighth performance this evening.
They will be up against the noted contenders Sweden, who are represented by Swedish-speaking Finnish trio Kaj with their entry Bara Bada Bastu, a comedic song about Nordic sauna culture, and who will break Eurovision records if they win.
