Azerbaijan were all the rage for Eurovision 2010 glory at the start of the week but Germany and Armenia have been attracting the late money ahead of Saturday night's Oslo spectacle.

Safura made it safely through the second semi-final but will have to make quite an impression on the big night after being drawn out first of the 25 performers.

The Swedish-written Drip Drop is a fine power ballad but this contest drags on for that long it is easy to imagine some countries will have forgotten what the number sounds like before casting their vote.

Armenia and Germany have received a major boost by being allocated 21 and 22 respectively, so not only will they be fresh in the minds of judges across Europe, it should also be one of the more enjoyable 15 minutes of action.

The sultry Eva Rivas, from Armenia, has impressed with her song Apricot Stone, which both encapsulates the magical aura of her region and appeals to the wider audience with its lively rhythm and passionate tones.

However, for me it has to be Germany this time as the lovely Lena struts out a more modern number in Satellite, which should capture the imagination of most of Europe.

The 19-year-old, from Hanover, literally came from nowhere to land her national heat and the song quickly set a new German download record to establish just how popular a feel it has.

Lena has been compared to UK stars Lily Allen and Kate Nash and when asked if she thought not competing in a semi-final would hurt her chances, she coolly replied: "If people like you, they will vote for you anyway."

Throw in the fact that half of Europe is currently relying on Germany to bail them out of an economic crisis and the political voting could just tip the scales in Lena's favour.

So our advice is to lump on Germany at 10/3 with bet365, while Azerbaijan are a best priced 14/5 with sportingbet and Armenia can be backed at 6/1 with Paddy Power.
