On the occasion of Denmark breaking their 4-year streak of not reaching the final. For countries outside the top 10 in the semi-final, Denmark would give a better chance of qualifying for the final. The song is not bad, the performer has a very strong vocal and performs well live. In the second half of the semi-final, their performance has a higher percentage of making it to the final. The stage presence should improve considerably compared to the national selection.

Latvia does not configure here. A bet is placed between Estonia and Lithuania. The coefficient is the same as Lithuania will be in the top 10, but I don't think both countries will make it to the top 10, so this bet is safer. For example, Lithuania could be in 12th place, Estonia in 13th or 14th. First of all, I don't think Estonia will make it to the top 10. In terms of televoting, maximum 100-120 points can be received, and if there are any votes from the jury, it could lower the points. Tommy sings poorly live. Lithuania should still gather a decent number of points from televoting. The jury could also rate this genre and song well. The vocals may not be the strongest or most reliable, but they can be refined for the performances. There are no rock songs this year, so Lithuania could stand out.

Finals are approaching and 14 real candidates are waiting for the top 10. The song from Ghana is average, nothing really memorable. The singer's voice sounds weak live. She struggles with the more difficult notes. The song definitely loses some of its charm when performed live. The UK will vote here and it may help a bit, but it won't be enough to save it. There are plenty of good songs in this semi-final, with a performance number 3, but if the vocals don't improve by the semi-final, I find it hard to see Ireland making it to the finals.

The Swedes are the favorites to win the televote and the entire competition, while Austria is currently the favorite to win the jury vote. Trends in recent years have shown that the country which wins the jury vote also wins the entire competition. In both 2024 and 2023, the winner of the televote did not receive enough points from the jury. This was also the case last year when the Swiss representative only needed to place 5th among the televote to win the whole competition.

Austria's song this year has a very strong vocal and, most importantly, the singer can sing those notes perfectly live. Because of their angelic voice, they will likely receive a lot of points from the jury. The Swedes should easily win the televote, but the jury may not give them as many points. Austria's song tends to rank high among fans, as mentioned, because of its strong vocals. The end of the song also changes and becomes more energetic, which is important at Eurovision. Austria should receive enough points from the televote.

Austria's staging will also play a big role. The visuals on stage need to highlight the song and elevate it to a higher level. Since Austria's stage producer is the same one as Ireland's last year, it can be assumed that their stage performance will also be good.

It's a minor thing, but Eurovision was just held in Sweden recently, so people may be a bit tired of the Swedes. Of course, we shouldn't forget about other countries like the Netherlands, France, Israel, and others. But if Austria has good preparation and a strong stage performance, I believe they have a chance to win over the audience.

In English: "Mainly, there are only two candidates, Napoli and Inter Milan. I choose Napoli because they have an easier game schedule compared to Inter, who will also have to play in the UCL, adding extra stress and pressure for them. Meanwhile, Napoli only needs to focus on Serie A and winning. Both teams are having a good season, but success will only smile upon one of them.

Vibrant, standout song and performance. Excellent performer. The jury table will probably be somewhere in the middle, but on the audience table it should be in the Top 5. Overall score in the Top 10.
