Estonia, Latvia and Belarus will probably do enough so send Russia through, despite the atrocious song, so it might be worth having a peek at the odds of that one to qualify if the bookies push it out to a large price based on its outright odds.

I can still only find about 40pts for Russia. At least 60pts needed on average. If Russia were in the other qualifying group, I'd say yes, they'll do it. I'm looking for odds against them at the moment.

Weak group, which makes it difficult to predict who might go through. At this point I'm confident that Russia are out of it. Moldova may surprise, even though their song is pure dross! Belgium and Serbia are good bet to win this semi.
