Our players have an…unfortunate track record with Romanian selections. Last year, 40% of players predicted that Dora Gaitanovici would win Selecția Națională 2022 with her rock ballad “Ana”, while 30% predicted WRS’ win correctly.
Infamously, almost 50% of players predicted that Laura Bretan would win with “Dear Father” back in 2019. Meanwhile, eventual winner Ester Peony received…one prediction.
Even when the artist was already chosen…our players still predicted the wrong song! In 2020, almost 70% predicted that “Cherry Red” would win Roxen’s selection, with eventual winner “Alcohol You” getting just over 26%.
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!

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.
