Eurovision 2024: The Final hours

 This will be one of the hardest Top 10s to predict that I can remember. OK. Here goes:

The Public vote top 10

Croatia
Ukraine
Italy
Switzerland
Ireland
Greece
Lithuania
Israel
United Kingdom
Austria

The Jury Vote Top 10

Switzerland
France
Italy
Latvia
Norway
Israel
Serbia
Ukraine
Ireland
Portugal

Combined:

Switzerland
Italy
Ukraine
Croatia
Ireland
Israel
Greece
Norway
France
United Kingdom

I am going not along with the bookies this time although they have been right so many times before that it seems foolish to ignore them. I also suspect they have inside knowledge - or some heavy betters do which has had the same effect on the lists which, incidentally, as of 6:30pm, an hour or so before the start, show the result as:

Croatia
Israel
Switzerland
France
Ireland
Ukraine
Italy
United Kingdom
Finland
Greece

At 500-1 or more for any of the rest it really is anyone's guess and no-one can predict anything from such crazy odds other than that they're not going to win tonight!

I am assuming that Israel won't be as popular with all the voters as seems to have been the case on Thursday and, whilst they'll get respectful acknowledgement of the song and singer, it'll be mostly 4s and 5s.

I believe both Italy and Ukraine will have big Public votes and also decently chunky Jury votes but Switzerland will have both and Croatia just failing to get enough from the Jury.
