After the tragic El Clasico, Real returns to their home stadium and I hope to see a reaction from the team and a general pressure for everyone to rehabilitate themselves. Mbappe did not play against Barca, but he expressed a desire to play the remaining matches, preparing for the championship. Oviedo is at the bottom of the league table, with one of the worst defenses. In their last 10 away matches, Oviedo has conceded at least 3 goals seven times.

The match against Girona is extremely important to stay in the league. Winning over Peru would be a very serious step, as our next two opponents will be competing against each other. Girona will face Atletico and then Elche, so if we don't win over Peru, the situation will become very tense. Sociedad secured a place in the group stage of the Spanish cup and has no additional motivation left for the away game. The results are understood for the same reasons, so we need to take advantage of Girona, which not long ago seemed to be another rising beast in Spain.

After the tragic El Clasico, Real returns to their home stadium and here I hope to see a reaction from the team and overall there should be a self-imposed pressure for everyone to rehabilitate themselves. Mbappe did not play against Barca, but the player expressed his desire to play the remaining matches, thus preparing for the championship league. Oviedo is at the bottom of the table, with one of the worst defenses. In their last 10 away games, Oviedo has conceded at least 3 goals in 7 matches.

Austria 2 league... The hosts are having a decent season and are currently competing for the top awards. Especially considering that they had two draws (0-0) in their last two home matches against St. Polten, today at home against Peru (who are also doing well), there is a high chance that the hosts will come out on top.

Norway. If someone likes the song, that's okay, but I don't understand it. The constant "ya ya ya" is starting to become annoying. The vocals are weak. I doubt the judges will choose this. There are no "neighbors" like Finland, Sweden, Estonia, or even Iceland or the Netherlands. Not even some Polish, Belgian or German contestants in this semi-final. Only Denmark and Latvia (if we can even consider them as "neighbors"). The last number may be a plus, but that's about it.
Otherwise, I'm looking for surprises, which I don't think will be lacking in this semi-final. There are question marks over Malta, Cyprus, Bulgaria, and Albania.

Although Boyer is not a super clay court tennis player, this American still looks decent, and after a solid win against Peru, I believe he will also defeat the French player. L. Lokoli may be a sand court specialist, but his level is quite low and he always struggles in Challenger and ITF levels, which is also reflected in his ranking. Both of these players have had success in this tournament, but the American stands out in terms of skill and I choose him as my pick on clay.

Brazil can play well on the ground, but all of his best results were achieved in the Americas, and we all know that European sand is different. Brazil made it through the first round, but now Denmark looks much stronger. Good form and even the varying surfaces should not pose much of a problem for this tension-filled match between Brazil, who is playing in a European tournament for the first time this year.

Latvia sends a very sincere and beautifully presented ballad. The song is a matter of taste, but for ballad fans, it may be a better choice this year. The vocalist's voice is very good, and the jury should definitely not hesitate to give points. The audience will also find their place. The lack of neighboring countries is the main problem and probably the reason for such a coefficient. Among the top-rated favorites, I see more than one or two countries whose performers have very good vocals, so not just one country from there will attract the viewers, but they all will not. The performance number is convenient after the non-singing acts from Cyprus and Austria.

For now, Medvedev looks very good in this tournament and after a great performance against Tirante, I hope to see another solid performance against the Spaniard. Landaluce does not have a strong or good serve, and Daniil will be able to take advantage of that. The Spaniard cannot play consistently well, and Martin also had luck with very favorable opponents, so I predict a confident win for Medvedev in this match.

At the next level there is Jodar, who I believe will be a top 5-8 tennis player in the near future. Especially on the ground, he is an unbelievably good player who will soon be able to compete with both Alcaraz and Sinner. Darderi has gone far, but a lot of the game depends on serving, and Jodar's reception is very good and I think it is very logical for him to be in the top.

The last two teams in the league have the worst offense in the league. In 6 league matches, the teams have only scored 6 and 5 goals each. Their defense is very poor and it's no surprise that they are at the bottom of the league, but I don't think we can expect many goals between these two teams. League newcomers Ljungskile have only had one match with a score as low as this, so the chances for under are high. Sundsvall, who are visiting, have let in a lot of goals, but when their opponents have limited attacking capabilities, we shouldn't expect many goals.

The Landspokal Cup final, in which the Copenhagen team not only has an advantage, but also must win in order to secure their place in the next season's European league. Despite performing well in the Champions League, Copenhagen surprisingly struggled in the Danish league at that time and are currently fighting for 7th place and a chance to play in the Conference League. The final is being played in Copenhagen's home arena and knowing their team's capabilities and motivation, they are clearly the favored choice for this match.

France once again sent a top-level performance this year. The country is already prepared to win. I believe this is a good choice. The biggest favorites are considered to be Finland, Denmark, Greece, Israel, Australia, and France.
I don't think Greece has much of a chance with their performance, even though such songs often receive a lot of attention, they usually don't end up in top positions.
If Israel were to win, it would definitely shock Eurovision. Although their performance is good, it is difficult to attract the attention of the audience and there are also political aspects to consider.
Australia sent a strong performance and will likely receive many jury votes, but it may not connect with the audience.
That leaves Finland, France, and Denmark. I think Finland is overrated this year and may end up around 4-7th place. I have nothing bad to say about Denmark and I believe they truly deserve to be considered one of the favorites. And finally, there is France, with odds as high as 15. It is unlikely that any other country from this top six will surpass them, maybe Romania, but not for first place.
Overall, I believe France is underrated this year and has a higher chance of winning than 6%.

The second semi-final is much stronger than the first, I don't see anything that could attract the audience in this performance in Cyprus, let alone the jury, unless the sound of a gypsy song could gather some votes from Romania and Bulgaria, as Greece will not have anyone voting for Cyprus. There are many stronger countries that deserve to advance. Unfortunately, Cyprus did not make it to the final.

The city is fighting for the title, but for now everything is in Arsenal's hands. However, the pressure on Arsenal to play at an equal level will not be stopped by City's 1-0 lead. Palace is dancing across the league, they are safe + waiting for the 2nd place in the Conference final. In their encounters, these two teams constantly lead to very beautiful matches, even 10 out of the last 11 ended with 4+ goals.

Serbia is my dark horse of the year. It will be the only heavy metal performance in Eurovision. This mystical performer attracts attention and roars as needed. I believe he will find my voter among the audience. Hopefully, the judging committee will also give some votes. Furthermore, I think Balkan neighbors will support each other as always. A good option is admiral casino @2,75 for reaching Top 15 in the finals.
