Last year, over 93% of our players predicted The Roop would win Pabandom Iš Naujo 2021.
However, in 2020, over 50% of our players expected Monique to win, while around 1/3 voted for The Roop would win the inaugural edition of Pabandom Iš Naujo with “On Fire”.
Members of the ESCXTRA team may be disappointed by this result, as they selected Rūta Loop’s “Call Me from the Cold” as their winner in our XTRA Decides feature.
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 2022!
In 2021, our 363 prediction players predicted the correct national winners 7 out of 13 times. The year before, in 2020, 10 of out 27 times…an all-time low. To be fair, 2020 was a very unpredictable year in general. In 2019, our Eurovision Prediction players collectively predicted 16 out of 29 national final winners correctly. In 2018, your record was 19 out of 30.
So far, our players have guessed 2 out of 7 selections correctly. Let’s see how many of tonight’s four entries will have been predicted correctly.
With 25 national finals for 2022 overall, there are still PLENTY of points up for grabs!
