Prediction
1 (Promoted) - Romania
2 - Iceland
3 - Spain
4 - Serbia
5 - Australia
6 (Relegated) - Belgium
Initially I wasn't high on Romania, but reading about them it sounds like they will end up on top. Iceland are getting stronger and will make a push for promotion, but fall short. Just like Romania, the more I read about Spain the more I like them to contend. They could continue to roll and end up with a medal in this tournament. The bottom half of the standings get a little murky. Serbia ended up ahead of Australia and Belgium last year, and it might be the case this year. It's a toss up between the Australia and Belgium. I can see the Aussies do just enough to stay up in Group A. Belgium falls to Group B for next year.
