Tonight is set to be full of crazy staging, including synchronised robot dancing, mannequins, mosh pit crowd surfing, a Liberace-esque jacket and a pyrotechnic display that’ll take the strongest Balkan eyebrows off. Here at ESCBubble have been following all the antics at Altice arena and after numerous rehearsals and hiccups here are the acts we think will qualify tonight.

NORWAY – 15

MOLDOVA – 15

SWEDEN – 15

UKRAINE – 14

DENMARK – 13

POLAND – 13

MALTA – 13

HUNGARY – 13

AUSTRALIA – 12

————————————————–

ROMANIA – 7

NETHERLANDS – 7

————————————————–

SERBIA – 3

MONTENEGRO – 3

SLOVENIA – 3

LATVIA – 2

RUSSIA – 1

GEORGIA – 1

SAN MARINO – 0

With a full editorial consensus we all believe NORWAY, MOLDOVA and SWEDEN will qualify for Saturday’s final. It’s also sad news for SAN MARINO as all of us believe their chances of making it to Saturday’s final is pretty slim – so enjoy the dancing robots whilst you still can at home.

The top 9 was pretty solid this time around with UKRAINE, DENMARK, POLAND, MALTA, HUNGARY and AUSTRALIA  poised to take those precious qualification slots. We think it’ll be a battle between ROMANIA and THE NETHERLANDS to take the final slot however, with Romania keen to keep their 100% qualification record intact.

However we believe it’ll be time for SERBIA, MONTENEGRO, SLOVENIA, LATVIA, RUSSIA and GEORGIA to pack their suitcases with Russia facing non-qualification since the Semi Final system was introduced back at the Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul back in 2004.
