It is hard to find 10 deserving qualifiers in tonight’s line-up, but the contest rules—and simple maths—suggest that 10 of these contestants will indeed be joining us on Saturday night.

The definites

Let’s get the obvious ones out of the way first. I think everyone will have these four on their list:

  • Russia
  • Denmark
  • Greece
  • Ireland

The probables

  • Albania
  • Iceland
  • Moldova
  • Hungary

The possibles

  • Switzerland
  • Belarus
  • Latvia
  • Belgium
  • Israel
  • Romania

The no-hopers

I’d vote for Romania and Belgium to join the first eight. That makes my 10 qualifiers:

  1. Romania
  2. Belgium
  3. Hungary
  4. Moldova
  5. Iceland
  6. Albania
  7. Ireland
  8. Russia
