Our two prediction tools, the Daily Press Poll and the Big Poll, have managed to show outstanding success rates in predicting the qualifiers from Semifinal 2, with both the Daily Press Poll and the BigPoll predicting 9 finalists.
Daily Press Poll: 9/10 [Full Daily Press Poll Coverage]
The Daily Press Poll predicts trends following the impressions of the press from the first rehearsals. The voting and results for Semifinal 2 were divided into two days, and combined in a way that will try to reflect the actual situation.
The tight voting of Day 3 gave us Israel (74p), Australia (71p), Latvia (68p) and Serbia (55p) as the top leaders. Day 4 had a very big contrast in voting, leading us to Ukraine (119p), Bulgaria (74p), Belgium (58p) and Georgia (47p), giving us already eight clear qualifiers.
Poland, who had the highest amount of points out of the other ten entries (14p) has qualified as well, being placed in the 10th place of the semifinal.
Lithuania was placed 15th getting only 1 point in the poll, which has placed Belarus on 9th place that didn’t qualify eventually.
