Hahaha, than or or , since there is one popular belief or superstition, that every third year one Nordic country has to win.

I am not supersticious.

 

[lolita]

I am not supersticious.

Me neither, but I saw this story these days, many people are talking about that, and I am just kidding, I don't think any of these three will win, but this year is open for any winner really. You people are too serious about ESC.

 

[hawadharma]

I think will win

 

[tsegaye]

Whoever wins, I think that the winner won't win any semi. It feels like 2008 this year with a few songs that can win, maybe 5, and that the winning song will place like 2nd or 3rd in the semi and then win (just thinking of semi 1 actually because I think will win semi 2).

 

[Brandt]

The winners in the recent years have been way unpredictable. I could easily say Israel now, but I could also easily say Italy last year, or Russia in 2016.

I want to win, but I am pretty sure that is not going to happen.

Now way Hungary wins! Even if it wins televote it won't be on juries top 10! In fact even the qualification is not sure either!

Hungary will qualify with EASE.

 

[Citelis]

Hungary will qualify with EASE.

Well, propably yes but still no way for win!

My mind is changing every day. It's so hard this year.

Still a bit confused why there is so much money on Lie To Me...

Same, I am trying to figure it for few weeks, I am not saying the song is bad, but it is to basic for victory and heard so many times before. Whenever I hear it, I just can't make it distinctive from "Talk Dirty To Me", that is all I hear. I find this years' odds weird overall, especially some positions are questionable.

Well ... at this point (without any information about the performances) I see 4 countries that have a shot at taking this home.
Tele: 1 // Jury: 3-5
Tele: 2-5 // Jury: 1-3
Tele: 3-5 // Jury: 1 or 2
Tele: 4 or 5 // Jury 1-3
Outsider chances for and

If I had to bet money, I would go with Bulgaria right now.

 

[Nefertiti]

For me, this is going to be between and. Israel will do really well with televote but the juries will not give her many points, whereas Bulgaria will earn more jury points and... maybe less televote points? I've seen Bulgaria in almost every top but not as much as Israel I think. It will be a susprise if neither of them wins.

 

[mauve]

I hope the televoters and Jury will surprise us and don't give the most points to Israel or Bulgaria. To me these two songs are so boring. :? But in the past years I was never happy with the winner and I guess it's almost like a Tradition, so I won't be happy this year again.

Agree with all of these, and maybe , because it is very popular with public. Tele- 2-5 for sure, Jury- 3-10, but I am not so sure, I don't know why are people convinced that Czech Republic can not do good in televote, it always can if people like the song. I think after Israel, this is the most popular song, and then Bulgaria.

ESC 2018 predicted top 10 (combined Jury+televoting)
1) Bulgaria (top 3 in both, but slightly more jury points)
2) Israel (televote winner)
3) France (jury winner)
4) Sweden (more jury points)
5) Estonia (more televoting points)
6) Ukraine (even split)
7) Czech Republic (more televotes)
8) Belgium (more jury)
9) Portugal (even split)
10) Hungary (more televotes)
Australia will receive less than 50 televoting points , and that will kill their chances to be in top 10. Same for Rybak with Juries.

 

[Fluke]

Czechia, Hungary or possibly Israel. No way it will be Bulgiara or Estonia, though they might still make top 5.
