So this day next week we will have started the live rehearsals for Eurovision 2014. So before all the reviews of the performances come in, here are what the betting odds are saying about who are in the running to win Eurovision 2014.

34. Portugal
35. FYR Macedonia
36. Latvia
37. Georgia

The Top 3 haven’t moved for over a week. Still the surprise is Malta being so low down. The OGAE Fan Network have Sweden handsomely leading in their International Poll and Armenia down in 9th place currently. They also have Austria in second place while in the betting odds Conchita Wurst is in 11th place. Expect a lot of media attention to be focused on Conchita at Eurovision and watch Austria climb in the betting odds one thinks.

Semi Final One Qualifying Betting Odds

According to the betting odds people have the following ten countries qualifying for the Grand Final.

1. Armenia – Qualify
2. Sweden – Qualify
3. Azerbaijan – Qualify
4. Ukraine – Qualify
5. Hungary – Qualify
6. Belgium – Qualify
7. Russia – Qualify
8. Estonia – Qualify
9. Montenegro – Qualify
10. Netherlands – Qualify
11. Moldova
12. Albania
13. Latvia

15. Iceland
16. Portugal

The Netherlands in tenth place could be touch and go. This is a good song from 2 great singers but country music does not tend to score well at Eurovision and this song is a definite grower. The more you hear it the more you will like it but at Eurovision you get just one shot to sell it to the tele voting audience.

Semi Final Two Qualifying Betting Odds

The Betting Odds have the following countries qualifying in this order.

1. Romania – Qualify
2. Norway – Qualify
3. Greece – Qualify
4. Austria – Qualify
5. Ireland – Qualify
6. Finland – Qualify
7. Malta – Qualify

9. Poland – Qualify
10. Switzerland – Qualify
11. Lithuania
12. Slovenia
13. Belarus
14. FYR Macedonia
15. Georgia

I would not rule out Lithuania on qualifying as they have a knack on making it through and judging on what we saw and heard in Amsterdam, “Attention” could make the final. I could say that Israel could not be so certain a qualifier from what we have seen on-line of Mei’s performance in Moscow recently.
