I'm thinking:

Safe
1. Bulgaria
2. Estonia
3. Romania
4. Netherlands
5. Denmark

Likely
6. Hungary
7. Israel
8. Austria

Borderline
9. Belarus
10. Norway
11. Serbia
12. Croatia

Unlikely
13. FYR Macedonia
14. Switzerland
15. Malta
16. Ireland
17. Lithuania

Out
18. San Marino

Wouldn't be surprised if Serbia or Croatia got in over Norway.

I will have to approach this differently and think about which countries I DON'T think will qualify.

Let's start by excluding the obvious ones
San Marino
Lithuania

Next tier
Malta
Ireland

Next tier (getting harder to find reasons to exclude, these still have a legit shot)
Serbia
Macedonia

Next tier (I want these in the final, but I need two more NQ's)
Norway
Switzerland

My guess is the rest qualify, but Bulgaria and Romania are the only ones I would genuinely be surprised about not qualifying.

Bulgaria is the only safe choice. Everything is wide open which is great for unpredictability. But let's give it a try:

Austria
Romania
Hungary
The Netherlands
Denmark
Belarus
Norway
Bulgaria
Estonia
Israel

:mt: would be first qualification since 2014, same with :sm::ch::by:
:ro: would be back after taking a year off
:nl: would see its second consecutive qualification, as would :hr::bg:
:hu: would see its fourth consecutive qualification

No matter how I arrange it, I can only predict 8 qualifiers. The last two spots seem very open to me.

We can assume that these countries will qualify:
(except there will be another "Finland scandal")
Netherlands
Romania
Hungary
Estonia
Bulgaria
Also quite safe seem to be:
Denmark
Norway
Israel
After those, it gets more difficult:
personally I would choose Macedonia and Croatia, but the following countries will also have their chances:
Austria, Belarus, Ireland, Serbia, Malta, Switzerland

Quite hopeless after the recent reviews and comments I've read or heard seem to be:
San Marino, Lithuania

Any comments are very welcome.

I wouldn't count Lithuania out. Western juries will love this, also they get a lot of votes from the Ex-Sovjet countries traditionally. They have qualified almost every year as far as I can think.
