People think Seoul because of what happened at Orient Matsuri and that's a wise prediction, but I'll tell you one thing that OM doesn't have and that's a pot full of schlager-disco fans That's gonna bag queen Agnes the win I feel (her song just strikes me as much more of a wide pot surfer, even if Seoul will pick up a tonne of 12s). If not then Svealand look good to take it, especially as this feels a strong final for pop songs which will all be clawing at each other.
You've cursed some of us with these early predictions It's well known that it's an unwritten rule of WV to wait until after the grandfinal voting is over to predict the winner. Anyway....

I think a pop song will win. This final feels well split. There's enough songs for everyone and yet look at who is on a break this edition. Pot E is half dead (partly why I don't think my USA song can win + I think to a lesser extent this will hamper Western USA's chances too) and other right side pot members are missing. That's a big chunk. It's hard to say what will win though if not Western USA. I think England will squeeze it or maybe Norway or Iceland if they go against everything I've just said and slay with the voters they need to slay with, plus pick up some surprises.
Winner: Despite the points Rainy makes, I don't think it will be much of a hinderance at all. It's clear the song has wide appeal across most people given the reaction. It will be hard to beat.
