Over the last past few weeks, you have been submitting your predictions for the latest round of Eurovision Prediction 2023. In the latest round, you were asked to predict the winner of Iceland’s Söngvakeppnin. Now, let’s take a look at who you collectively expect to win the Icelandic ticket to Liverpool!
After two semi-finals, the final of Söngvakeppnin will take place tonight. Iceland’s entry for Liverpool will be selected across two rounds of voting. In the first round, the jury and public will select the two artists that will compete again in the Superfinal. In the Superfinal, the winner will be chosen by public televote alone.
The final running order is as follows:
- Sigga Ózk – “Dancing Lonely”
- BRAGI – “Sometimes the World’s Against You”
- Celebs – “Doomsday Dancing”
- Diljá – “Power”
- Langi Seli og Skuggarnir – “OK”
Let’s take a look at who YOU predict will be chosen!

Our players have a mixed record of predicting Icelandic results. Last year, over 63% predicted that Reykjavíkurdætur would win with “Turn This Around”, while only 16% predicted that FKA Sigga, Beta and Elín would win.
In 2020, almost 2/3 of players predicted that Daði & Gagnamagnið would win with “Think About Things”. If you think that was a consensus, the year prior, almost 4/5 of players predicted that Hatari would win with “Hatrið mun sigra”!
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though! Back in 2018, only one player correctly predicted Ari Ólafsson’s win, while almost 55% predicted that Aron Hannes would win with “Gold Digger”.
After each national final, the points will be assigned and you will receive a rankings update via our Eurovision Prediction platform. Furthermore, we will make sure to notify you via our Eurovision Prediction Facebook page, our Eurovision Prediction Twitter page and here on the ESCXTRA website. The player that accumulates the most points after all the rounds have taken place will be crowned the winner of Eurovision Prediction 2023!
Last year, our players correctly predicted 12 national final winners out of 25.
In 2021, our players predicted the correct national winners 7 out of 13 times.
In 2020, 10 of out 27 times…an all-time low. To be fair, 2020 was a very unpredictable year in general.

In 2018, your record was 19 out of 30, which remains the record.
