Eurovision 2026: Aussievision's Top 10 predictions before rehearsals

The Aussievision team has revealed its predictions for the Eurovision 2026 Top 10 before rehearsals kick off this week.

In total, 16 contributors voted on who they believe will feature in the Top 10 on that Saturday night in May.

Four countries emerged as unanimous picks, with every contributor electing Finland, France, Australia and Sweden to finish in the Top 10.

The Top 10 predictions

• Finland: Linda Lampenius and Pete Parkkonen – Liekinheitin (16)

• France: Monroe – Regarde ! (16)

• Australia: Delta Goodrem – Eclipse (16)

• Sweden: Felicia – My System (16)

• Israel: Noam Bettan – Michelle (15)

• Italy: Sal Da Vinci – Per sempre sì (15)

• Greece: Akylas – Ferto (14)

• Denmark: Søren Torpegaard Lund – Før vi går hjem (10)

• Ukraine: Leléka – Ridnym (10)

• Moldova: Satoshi – Viva, Moldova! (8)

Israel and Italy were just one vote shy of joining the unanimous group, while Greece also attracted strong support with 14 votes.

There is then a clear drop to Denmark and Ukraine on 10 votes, before Moldova claims the final Top 10 position with eight.

The rest of the results

Another 12 songs had belief from at least one Aussievision team member.

The best of the rest were:

• Cyprus: Antigoni – Jalla (6)

• Romania: Alexandra Căpitănescu – Choke Me (4)

• Portugal: Bandidos do Cante – Rosa (4)

• Malta: Aidan – Bella (3)

• Germany: Sarah Engels – Fire (2)

• Bulgaria: Dara – Bangaranga (1)

• Croatia: Lelek – Andromeda (1)

• Luxembourg: Eva Marija – Mother Nature (1)

• United Kingdom: Look Mum No Computer – Eins, Zwei, Drei (1)

• Armenia: Simón – Paloma Rumba (1)

• Estonia: Vanilla Ninja – Too Epic to Be True (1)

• Montenegro: Tamara Živković – Nova zora (1)

How does this compare to the odds?

There is strong overlap between the Aussievision team and the betting markets, with nine of the team’s Top 10 also appearing in the bookmakers’ projected Top 10.

However, the Aussievision team is notably less convinced by Denmark, which sits as high as fourth favourite with bookmakers but only ranks eighth here with 10 votes.

Romania is another key difference. Despite being backed by the odds to make the Top 10, it finished outside the Aussievision Top 10 with just four votes.

Instead, the team opted for Moldova, which is just outside the Top 10 in the betting rankings.
