It’s arrived – the day when our remaining eighteen finalists line up to strut their stuff and fly their flag. And, as always, the bookies have their own ideas about who will emerge victorious tonight.

For a start, there is definitely room for improvement. After Tuesday’s show, bookmakers were down on previous form, having collectively predicted seven (or eight, depending on the time of day you looked) successful qualifiers. That’s the hallmark of a semifinal much harder to predict than usual, especially after an almost clean sweep in both the 2021 qualifier events.

That said, that dash of unpredictability makes for a much more exciting evening as fans. Will Tuesday’s happy surprises, Iceland, Lithuania and Switzerland, be joined by even more jubilation tonight from delegations not taking anything as a done deal?

The standing for tonight’s semifinal 2 qualification, as aggregated by OddsChecker, is currently as follows:

1. Sweden
2. Poland
3. Australia
4. Estonia
5. Serbia
6. Czech Republic
7. Finland
8. Belgium
9. Azerbaijan
10. Cyprus
11. Malta
12. San Marino
13. Romania
14. Israel
15. Ireland
16. Montenegro
17. Georgia
18. North Macedonia

The big tussle seems to be between Cyprus, Malta and San Marino, which are on close odds to qualify around tenth place, and have been switching positions regularly today.
