Semi 1	Semi 2
1.	1.
2.	2.
3.	3.
4.	4.
5.	5.
6.	6.

I regrouped all your guesses about the running order to make a global one :

1 Lituania
2 Poland
3 Serbia
4 Cyprus
5 Ireland
6 Ukraine
7 Croatia
8 Moldova
9 Iceland
10 Azerbaijan
11 Finland
12 Portugal
13 Australia
14 Slovenia
15 Luxembourg

1 Austria
2 Albania
3 Denmark
4 Armenia
5 Czechia
6 Malta
7 Greece
8 Switzerland
9 Latvia
10 Georgia
11 San Marino
12 Estonia
13 Israel
14 Norway
15 Belgium
16 Netherlands

But of course, this is not how it's gonna happen.

My first bets:

SF1

• Opener: I think it will be Croatia, but it can be Ukraine
• “Death spot”: Poland… or Cyprus. But is it still a death spot?
• Finisher: I hesitate between Finland and Luxembourg… but it can definitely be Sweden, as a counterpart for opening the GF!

SF2

• Opener: Austria
• “Death spot”: Albania. Maybe Malta.
• Finisher: the (a little bit too) obvious choice is Netherlands. But it can be San Marino!

Let's try this:

SF1

I was right on Ireland from semi 1 and Albania, Armenia and Norway from semi 2.
I thought so much on Ireland because it's so different so it wouldn't kill acts around it. Ukraine was OK to be before/after Ireland, Croatia and to a lesser extent Lithuania too. Also I felt Lithuania would be 2-3 spot. But I didn't think they would open with Cyprus, because it has so many drops in the song it didn't feel perfect. 2nd half seems ok, I thought they might close with Luxembourg, but yeah I went with risky Finland.

Choosing Cyprus and Malta as openers would be the work of a big bop lover I guess... I thought Austria was more accessible. Albania 2nd is nobrainer (unfortunately). I thought Greece would be later, but I guess the bops had to get done early... Denmark got a good position and Armenia finishing 1st half was kind of logical... As well as Latvia getting early in 2nd half...So for 2nd semi they chose "joke" act to end, Netherlands getting great position though I would have preferred Georgia to close given its bad history in recent years and it also seemed more suitable. Israel is also on later than I thought, and Estonia in the middle of 2nd half, not the best I guess, considering its between strong songs, also Italy after. Norway to be the one before last song was kinda plausible, it doesnt fit much other place and its also liked by fans so they would choose good order for it I guess.

Also I didnt know if they would actually add prequalifiers to lineup like competing songs or still more or less the interval acts inbetween pauses... It seems like they go the first way which could be confusing for usual viewers but I guess they like to make up running orders... Because I really hope they will be lost in near future, it takes unreasonable amount of time to put together and is not the fairest way to do it, backlash is unavoidable.. It would be best to use a draw.
