The Draw for the running order for the Big 6 has been made. Earlier this year Sweden – as hosts – drew position 16. The Big 5 today drew what half of the running order they will appear in. They are as follows

• Spain – First Half of Draw
• France – First Half of Draw
• Germany – First Half of Draw
• United Kingdom – Second Half of Draw
• Italy – Second Half of Draw

We are predicting that Germany may well indeed open the Grand Final on Saturday

Also having Germany in the first half plays better up tempo songs in the second half like Ireland and Denmark.
