Predictions
Many predictions were made but to increase interest, Kross-European Song Kontest organised large cities to have a place to store predictions. These were the most commonly accepted predictions:

Voting
With the new televote system and the recent occupation of the Ruhr, many predicted that Germany would not give many points to France or Belgium. Many in Britain and Greece feel sympathetic for the German situation and may give them pity points in the televote. The emojis in the top bar represent the jury votes. The voting would use a 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 point voting system.
